GBCoach Review I've been a coach with Parabolic for a few months now. In general the process has been smooth. I've been matched with several smart and interesting clients, and Parabolic has provided me with helpful resources to help them succeed. One of the best things about the job is building relationships with so many talented finance professionals.

GBNO STARS!! SCAM CITY!! No stars! Complete scam. I was hired as a coach in an oddly quick process and after completing several sessions, I was nnot paid. They are preying on the desperation of students with H-1B Visas and charging outlandish fees. All of my students have complained to me. Stay away!

GBStay away Stay away! I applied to work as a coach in mid-February and was accepted as a coach soon after without an interview. I received a generic email and was asked to use Airtable to accept clients and schedule coaching sessions. In addition, Ari (Chief Revenue Officer/Growth Product) introduced me to one client via email as well. However, I was very confused as the firm did not do an onboarding and the entire process was unclear, including the payout expectations. I expressed some concerns and Ari continued to push me to schedule coaching sessions, rather than understand and address my questions and concerns. I decided to do some research and understand this firm better. I found some reviews on TrustPilot, but these are clearly fake; there is one from the current CEO (Varun Sharat), one from a current employee (Sam Cripps), and a third one that's likely an employee or a friend (Kelly Garren) - great job not making these obvious. If you notice, almost every user review on TrustPilot has no other reviews beyond Parabloic and this is a clear flag. In response to my Google review, Kelly Garren left a 5 star review on March 13. I found some forum posts on WallStreetOasis and Fishbowl that are worth reading as well: 1) wallstreetoasis (forum/job-search/parabolic-usa-career-coaching-and-staffing-several-red-flags) 2) wallstreetoasis (orum/job-search/headhunter-review-parabolic-usacarrerllc-ie-career-coach-service) 3) fishbowlapp (post/is-parabolic-career-worth-the-money-looks-like-a-scam-coaching-service) To recap, 1) it appears that Parabolic accepts coaches without a formal interview or process, 2) there is no onboarding for coaches, 3) the online reviews appear to be fake, and 4) there are other red flags from their clients and previous employees on forums. Good luck if you do decide to work with Parabolic.

GBA solid experience. The coaches were great, very knowledgable, the curriculum was also solid. They prepared me very well for my interviews, helped me network and get connected and ultimately make a significant career change that I do not that I would have been able to navigate on my own. Truly a top notch firm. I can't say that there weren't any growing pains along the way for me, but I stuck with it, trusted their expertise and it paid off.

GBI was looking for a job in marketing in… I was looking for a job in marketing in New York City after graduation. With tech layoffs happening, it was a tough environment. Parabolic opened up their network to me and helped me with interview. Bethany and Mark were great mentors for me and guided me in my path. I found a job within 2 months of using them
