Coach 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.

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.

Stay 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.

No show I set up a time for consultation on calendly and received an excessive number of emails reminding me of the time of the consultation over 2 weeks, only for no one to show up. What a waste of time.

Parabolic Review I signed up with Femi’s platform after having a couple of conversations with him. He is an impressive man with a viable business model. I was more interested in paying Femi to help me find a role than I was interested in the Parabolic platform. Soon after signing up with Parabolic, it seemed that Femi was understaffed. But although his company has been weathering the volatile market lately (as the rest of the economy has), Femi has done right by his clients. From my experience he is a legit entrepreneur with integrity.
