NO 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!

I did my interview prep with Josh I did my interview prep with Josh. He was knowledgeable, punctual, and so professional. I can’t recommend him more, and I never write reviews! He helped me land jobs at top financial institutions! I highly recommend the company and please ask for Josh to be your trainer.

Scam company. Scam company. I am an international business advisor and executive coach, and I work with Fortune 100 companies. I love to work with people and have found that my versatile experience truly brings empowerment to people. I work with many organizations, and I had liked Parabolic’s mission to help people who need a job, help with their careers, and need to change their lives from a professional angle. So, I was happy to support its mission, but I don’t work for free. I had noticed the company had a mess; they put coaches who apply online on their system for taxes without even interviewing them, so I walked away. I talked with Curtis and asked him directly, “Is the company stable, functioning properly, with paying clients, and in a position to hire and pay coaches?” And he said yes, that the company had been in “business” for years. Nothing happened for a while, but one day, Jackie, the Head of Product, reached out and said the company had gone through some adjustments and was back organized, invited me for a call, made me an offer, and immediately got me a very nice client, and I was happy to support him. Jackie reassured me she was on top of things and would organize the issues with communication, paperwork, systems, etc. Jackie was very communicative, with weekly emails, until she disappeared, along with everybody else. She left many people hanging, many coaches who had invested months with weekly sessions and coaching about ten people and had not gotten paid for that time. I kept trying to contact support, and Femi the founder but he never responded to emails. I stopped coaching my client. They paid a premium and put all of their hopes into this program to get a job. He kept also emailing to get an answer or refund, and he was getting his emails bounced. This happened to a lot of people. I reached out to some of the coaches who had been featured on the homepage, and some say they withdrew from working with Parabolic because they struggled to get paid; some didn’t even know their faces and names were being used on the homepage so they had to ask their lawyers to draw a letter to remove them. Parabolic was using high-profile people on their site without their knowledge to claim success. Finally, I got an email from Femi without a care in the world that said “he couldn’t pay,” IF people would get paid, it would take a year. Palmer the founder never apologized, never bothered to pick up the phone, or tried to work on an arrangement. I tried emailing, texting, and calling, and he stood in his place, saying he had done nothing wrong. He claimed he would take care of payments but didn’t even bother. I gave him plenty of chances, but he never bothered to make it right. I told him he was leaving me with no choice but to sue him, and he said, “sue me.” Here is the reason why I am taking the time to write this. Some people are not worth our time, and Femi is not one of them, but thankfully, I am in a position to recover from this, and my experience with my client was hopefully a valuable “mentoring” experience to help him in his career but is crucial for me to share this for a couple of reasons: 1. My experience is the tip of the iceberg; Femi continues trying to get clients from Premium packages but has no Coaches to back them up, leaving many people without their paychecks. He has let a lot of people down. When this happens, it is not because of poor management but because of a lack of scruples. He had time to correct the situation, but he took the money with greed and didn’t pay people. Femi is not trustworthy, and it is beyond risky to invest in him. 2. Many people and professionally desperate people are under the mirage that this company can help them get a job to have stability and build a future. Many are making a high effort and sacrifices to invest in Parabolic, hoping this helps and changes their situation. They are left hanging, struggling to get a response or their money back. Many of these clients are from overseas and are hoping to make it in America, and they think that by hiring this American company, they’ll have a way in. 3. If I stay silent, I am part of it. This is my most significant reason for speaking up. I have wasted a lot of time, but if I am preventing people from a disappointing experience, financial loss, and feeling used to speaking up, I’ve done my part. It’s a horrible feeling to be scammed by cowards. I am a startup advisor, and I know that companies create images of success to lure people, but not everything that shines is gold. Entrepreneurship, tech startups, and supporting people to succeed are my world, so I can’t walk away quietly. I can’t allow people without scruples to ruin the trust and credibility of startups. Otherwise, people won’t give startups a chance. I have all my emails to back this up.

Very unorganized Very unorganized. I purchased the service for $7000. Service include: a website where you record and practice answering interview questions so you can send it to your career coach for review, 10 1 hour coaching sessions from a list of many career coaches (some coaches are unresponsive), a list of job opportunities where you can send your application. One good thing about this service is the coaches are very knowledgeable, however, when you only get 10 1 hour sessions you only get to pick one career coach or else you'll waste your session on introduction. Apart from the knowledgeable coaches where you don't get enough of, everything else is a complete waste of money. Overall the service is a complete scam and waste of money.

Great service! Helped with data analyst recruitment Great service and very happy I used it! I needed help breaking into data analysis and standing out from others in my masters program. As an international student, it was especially competitive. I needed to be at the top of my game in order to get selected. Parabolic’s personalized approach helped me substantially and I got many more interviews with their help. I am very thankful for their hard work and help.
