“We were highly impressed with OYT’s expertise and their delivery of a suite of interactive career management sessions for our cohort of Quantum PhDs considering specialist career pathways in banking, finance, tech, consultancy and entrepreneurship.
They designed and delivered a tailored programme, including a career planning workshop and individualised coaching sessions. Their breadth of market knowledge, recruitment insights and tools for career strategy made for highly engaging and accessible interactions with our PhDs, enabling them to decide their career pathways and design development plans to achieve their aspirations.”

“Yasmina worked with me on everything: from building my resume, to cover letter, advice on how to network in events and connecting on Linkedin. I followed her guidance to the letter and after my graduation I managed to get a job at Cisco! Yasmina is a professional careers coach and a wonderful person so working with her on my career was a very pleasant and useful journey that helped me land my dream job!”

“Sarmini is very personable and made me feel at ease from the very beginning. She tailored the experience to me and what I wanted to get out of it which put the ownership back onto me for my own development and needs. The experience really opened up my thinking and enabled me to reflect on my career path and development. Rather than following the typical succession path for my role, the experience made me think about what I actually want to do rather than what is expected. It allowed me to look at my skills and experience in different ways and really helped to build my confidence in my abilities. I would highly recommend this this programme to others.”

“The impact OYT had on our team members was immediately apparent. There was a notable step-change in each team members approach to their career development. The sessions brought a lot of clarity for their potential future career paths and their appetite for opportunities to progress has
increased, as well as their ability to articulate their development needs.
It has given our senior management team the tools we need to support these team members and reflect on the wider team’s career progression. I would highly recommend OYT for anyone looking for an individualised and tailored approach to their organisation’s needs - they’re an excellent partner to work with.”

“Sarmini is a talented and enthusiastic coach who values personal relationships. She is very observant and her insightful feedback challenged me and helped me develop during my MBA at Imperial College. I really enjoyed working with her; she helped me improve my approach and performance while setting and trying to achieve my career ambitions. Coaching sessions before interviews and her calm advice during final offer negotiations were extremely valuable!”
— DP, Energy
“Yasmina was my careers coach whilst I was on the MBA program at Imperial. She used a variety of methods to help me identify my strengths, what drives me and how to leverage my background and experiences, coupled with the MBA, thereby enabling me to transition from a career in engineering to banking. Her help and guidance was invaluable in helping me to do so, and I would thoroughly recommend anyone looking for career guidance to speak with her.”
— MV, finance
“Sarmini was a huge help to me during my MBA as I explored different career options. She was always very insightful and a great sounding-board. I also found the mock-interview training extremely helpful. Sarmini was always very well prepared and really takes time to get to know her coachees and understand exactly what they want (even if they don’t understand it themselves!).”
— JS, Private Equity
“I had the pleasure of working with Sarmini as a career councilor. She successfully guided me through a difficult time where I was searching for a new transition in my career. Throughout this time she helped me get on the right track which included searching for potential suitable roles, CV writing, and the actual interview preparation. Beyond being a great professional, she is also a true listener and can really understand the people she is working with and what they need from her. Sarmini gave me the confidence to get back on track and led me to landing my dream job at one of the best companies in the world.”
