  1. 2

    I'm currently looking for new opportunities in Southern California, Northern California, Seattle, New York City, Atlanta, or even Madrid. I'm specifically interested in roles related to strategy & operations, go-to-market (GTM), or revenue operations (RevOps). I've been trying to break into the HealthTech and AI startup sectors, but I've hit a wall with my job search. It's been six months, and I haven't been able to get past the third round of interviews. I have 3.5 years of experience in big four consulting, and I've spent the last six months in a finance role, which I find unfulfilling. On top of that, I'm fluent in four languages and have a strong passion for AI workflows and optimizing team efficiency, including managing offshore resources. To sweeten the deal, I'm willing to offer three months of my pre-tax salary as a bonus, plus hopefully a referral bonus for you!

  2. 1

    I recently left my consulting job in January at the age of 27 to launch a private equity fund. While I can't share too many details due to confidentiality, I can say that the fund is now operational with all investors onboarded and capital deployed. My involvement is mostly passive, taking up my evenings and weekends. When I apply for new roles, I tell potential employers that I left consulting to join an entrepreneurial venture, which seems to resonate better than saying I co-founded a fund and am now searching for a full-time position in health tech. I’m starting to question if this narrative sounds normal or if it raises any red flags. I’ve faced some setbacks in interviews recently, particularly in the third round with companies like Anduril, Lyra Health, Slalom Consulting, and even Google. I suspect that having 'cofounder of the fund' on my resume might have made me seem overqualified or confused interviewers. I feel pretty embarrassed about how these interviews went and I'm wondering if my story is too unconventional for employers to grasp. Any advice on how to present my experience better would be greatly appreciated.
