About
Hi, I’m Yudhajit, though most people call me Yuj. I grew up in Kolkata in a large joint family where money was neither discussed nor financial literacy formally taught. My earliest lessons in value and negotiation came from trading PokémonTazos on the school playground, long before I knew what finance even was. After completing my engineering degree, I joined consulting at Deloitte, where I spent six years working across global finance transformation projects and M&A transactions. Later, during my MBA at NYU Stern, I discovered how much I enjoy breaking down complex financial concepts for others. That passion led me to Training the Street, where I now teach aspiring investment bankers accounting, Excel, valuation, and financial modeling. Outside of work, I’m a classically trained vocalist, a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, and an amateur artist. My coachees tell me I bring that same combination of discipline and creativity to my coaching. I am structured and rigorous, but never boring. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by technical interviews or financial modeling tasks. I’ve been in those shoes, and now I coach with empathy and clarity, focusing on helping you truly understand the "why" behind the numbers. If you're looking for someone who has walked the path and is committed to helping you succeed, I’d love to work with you.

Experience level: Associate
10+ Investment Banking clients
Daniel has helped clients get into these companies:
I'm Yudhajit, a finance professional and coach with 9+ years of experience across M&A consulting, investment banking, and financial modeling instruction. I’ve worked at Deloitte Consulting (M&A and tech), completed my MBA at NYU Stern with a focus on finance and strategy, and most recently, trained future investment bankers at top firms as a Teaching Associate at Training the Street. I specialize in coaching students and early-career professionals who are targeting roles in investment banking, private equity, and corporate finance. I can help you build technical fluency in Excel, accounting, valuation (DCF, comps, LBO), and financial modeling from scratch, or polish your existing skills to stand out in interviews and on the job. Whether you’re preparing for an investment banking superday, building your first 3-statement model, or seeking a mentor to keep you accountable—I'd love to work with you.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I know what it means to navigate high-stakes environments without a clear roadmap. Early in my career, I often found myself deciphering complex financial concepts on my own, striving to meet the expectations of demanding roles with limited guidance. What made the difference for me was the support of mentors who challenged my thinking, shaped my understanding, and raised the bar for what I thought I was capable of. Today, after training top-performing analysts and associates through my work at Training the Street, I coach to offer that same level of clarity and rigor to others. My goal is not simply to help you pass interviews or build a model, but to elevate your thinking and to help you approach finance with confidence, precision, and strategic insight. For those pursuing careers in investment banking, private equity, or finance more broadly, I offer not just technical depth but a tailored, thoughtful coaching experience that meets the demands of elite institutions and fast-paced teams. Coaching, to me, is about building excellence with intention.
