INTRODUCTION
At City Careers Coach, we’ve built a rich and diverse community of ambitious individuals from around the globe, representing 15 different countries. These individuals are unified by their pursuit of excellence, their aspiration to join the elite ranks of the finance industry, and their shared experience of City Careers Coach’s premium coaching programmes.
Our clientele is not just geographically diverse, but also represents a broad spectrum of prestigious educational backgrounds. They hail from renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, and the London School of Economics (LSE). Additionally, our client base includes alumni from esteemed preparatory institutions like Doon School in India and Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland.
The global appeal of our services is vividly illustrated by a dedicated client journeyed from Canada to attend a talk delivered by our CEO, Hassan Akram, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Such commitment emphasises the far-reaching recognition of Hassan’s expertise and underscores the international relevance of our coaching.
The variety of our clients’ educational backgrounds provides a wealth of perspectives that enrich our community and enhance the services we offer. We strategically tailor our coaching techniques to incorporate our clients’ diverse cultural, educational, and professional experiences. This personalised approach contributes to our impressive success rate in our tier-1 programme, with a remarkable 100% of our clients clearing the CV stage, 95% securing at least one elite corporate career, and a highest starting salary of £150,000 at the age of 21.
However, the significance of our global audience extends beyond numerical data. It’s in the personal success stories of each client — the aspirations and achievements shaped by our coaching. It’s in the student from India who, after attending the University of Warwick, secured an investment banking internship in London. Or, the Harvard alumnus, who secured a position at a top-tier VC fund. These stories represent our mission of helping ambitious individuals transcend geographic and cultural divides to achieve universally acknowledged success.
In essence, our global and diverse clientele underscores the universal applicability of our mission and coaching methods. The range of backgrounds and the shared success of our clients fuel our commitment to shaping the next generation of finance leaders, irrespective of their geographic or educational origins. Their diverse narratives inspire us, and their individual successes stand as a testament to our effective approach — ushering in a new era of universally effective career guidance.

‘Really clear and structured frameworks. Genuinely world-leading. I’m a former private equity investor and was impressed by the depth of their knowledge for elite careers, such as private equity and venture capital. Can’t wait for them to come to HBS again.’
‘I honestly had never heard about City Careers Coach. But they honestly blew me away with the truly personalised nature of the programmes. I got spring weeks at investment banks, hedge funds, and I secured experience at a PE fund. I have a summer internship at an investment bank coming (BNP Paribas). I’m fairly confident I’ll convert this to a full-time offer through the firm’s internship conversion programme.’
‘City Careers Coach was incredibly helpful in my CV recruitment process. I had gathered useful pieces of recruitment information from various sources prior to meeting Hassan, but he was able to bring it all together to help me have a clear picture of what a good recruitment strategy looks like. Beyond being extremely knowledgeable, Hassan, the firm’s CEO, was incredibly flexible, friendly, and willing to help out in any way — I would highly recommend Hassan to anyone looking to break into elite finance careers.’
