Client Testimonial

“The PEAL-3™, PEAL-X™, STAR-3™ and BDC™ frameworks were absolutely world-class — they turned Hassan’s TikTok Live session into a Clifford Chance offer. I still can’t believe it cost me nothing. Without question, better than any other competitor or product.”

Candidate Snapshot

Yousuf — state-school sixth-former with no budget for coaching.

The £0 TikTok Pathway

Joined a series of Hassan’s TikTok Live videos where he learnt:

  1. The VTMR Framework™ — rewrote his CV bullets with Verb-Task-Metric-Result precision in 30 minutes.
  2. The BDC™ storytelling framework — drafted a 120-second “Why Law?” macro-pitch that opened his assessment-centre presentation. This is the exact framework used by a client who secured a training contract at the elite US law firm, Sidley Austin.
  3. The STAR-3 framework™ mini-series — structured every competency answer around this framework focussing on Situation, Task, providing Action Points, and 3 Results, trimming waffle and doubling clarity.
Peal-3 has been taught to students from the world’s most prestigious universities.

4. The Peal-3 Framework enabled his why commercial law answer to be clear and analytical, with him including key legal concepts just as warranty, indemnity, and litigation.

5. The Peal-X framework peppered with unique firm evidence: Band-1 M&A ranking, £29 bn National Grid deal, and the Clifford Chance Academy. This is the same framework adopted by a client who secured a training contract at White & Case.

About Us

Aryan Kasera, University of Warwick

‘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.’

Nived Kollanthara, MIT-Sloane MBA Student

‘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.’
