Danzger Group - Igniting Finance and Tech Careers

Are you finding it really hard to achieve your career objectives? Getting a job or transitioning out of what that doesn’t suit you. Or maybe you need to improve your current work situation?

I’m the solution. I help you land a gratifying, rewarding job or internship matched to your strengths and interests and to succeed in your career. I do this through one-on-one coaching and advising with a holistic, design-oriented approach.

I help you get off the hamster wheel of simply constantly applying to jobs and hearing crickets. I teach you how to supplement those applications with networking in a way that doesn’t feel cringey.

We’ll start by ensuring that you have some clarity on what you might like to do. It’s better to take a moment to reflect on where your strengths and interests might best be applied than to start randomly applying to jobs.

I ensure that your career documents (resume, LinkedIn, and cover letter) are in great shape.

I help you land and prepare for meetings and interviews.

I help you with the important, yet often-overlooked, things that many career coaches don’t consider, like evaluating and negotiating job offers and getting off on the right foot in a new job.

In short, I help you:

• Identify your strengths and passions to suggest career direction
• Create materials to present themselves in the most attractive light (e.g., resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter)
• Learn how to build and grow your professional network to help land a job
• Master meeting and interviewing skills
• Understand how to evaluate and negotiate offers
• Succeed in the workplace with an early action plan

Career Coach and Advisor

I uplevel your career documents so you get more interviews and offers.

In today’s busy world, people who read your resume and LinkedIn profile give them quick scans. They must be concise and demonstrate what you can do for your next employer.

I transform your resume from a laundry list of roles and responsibilities to compelling, quantified accomplishments and achievements that make people stand up and take notice. 

When I’m through, you’ll not only have a polished resume, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter, but you’ll be better prepared in meetings and interviews when you see how I’ve communicated you to others in writing.

Face it. There are few things as trying as being in a job you don’t like or searching for a job.

Both of these situations are often accompanied by restlessness, frustration, and anxiety.

How happy would you be to achieve your career goals and find meaningful, sustaining work that energizes you?

You CAN find your dream position when armed with the methodology to establish or confirm career direction and effectively execute a job search. Or, if you’re in a position that suits you, but you are confronting some obstacles, you may very well be able to improve your situation.

Hi, I’m Neil. I’m proud to have helped many people land exciting jobs and internships and improve their work situations. I’m happy to do the same for you.

My career has been largely at the intersection of finance, operations, and technology. I've run HR for the eight-figure revenue tech startup I co-founded, having hired 100 people, interviewed 500 people to find them, and reviewed thousands of resumes during my career. This follows earlier experience at big companies like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs and several startups.

Let me shepherd you in your career so you can be prepared to face any work situation confidently.

Founder

EngSim Corporation

As a partner in the company, I work with the company founder in sales, inbound/outbound marketing, and strategic growth.

My technical expertise involves using 1D/3D simulation to support advanced development at OEM and Tier-1 companies. Here are my work achievements divided into 3 domains (limited to 2000 words)

Hybrid:
● Designed a P1 and P2 48V mild hybrid vehicle model for a large SUV with an LD-GCI engine with a 16 kW ISG and 8 kWh battery. The novel setup resulted in a 105% fuel economy improvement in an FTP cycle over the baseline vehicle.
● Developed a P0 mild hybrid Ford F-150 demonstration vehicle with a Tier-I supplier to showcase the fuel economy benefit of hybridization to achieve the US 2025 emissions standards.
● Built a complete vehicle systems model in GT-SUITE to simulate US drive cycles. The model included a 2L turbocharged gasoline DI engine, electric motor, electric battery, e-Booster, and P0 hybrid supervisory controls. Results published at SAE World Congress 2018.

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE):
● Evaluated the effect of variable compression ratio [VCR], variable valve timing [VVT], and levels of external exhaust gas recirculation [EGR] on engine fuel economy and performance.
● Results from the above project were a 7.2% fuel economy benefit at low speed low loads, and a 5.8% fuel economy benefit at low speed high loads.
● Simulated water injection with VCR, VVT, and EGR technologies to show a 23% fuel economy benefit at high speed high loads. Results published at SAE World Congress in 2019.
● Tested a 6 speed transmission to calculate the spin loss and the variables it depends on.  Used this data to develop a spin loss model for a 6 speed transmission in GT-drive.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD):
● Improved prototype development of a Generac generator enclosure by analyzing flow speed and temperatures in CONVERGE CFD and evolving designs to reduce velocity magnitude (noise) by 19.1% and increasing flow rate by 21.3%
● Analyzed cold steady flow, and combustion analysis of cylinder head designs of an 8.8L PFI gasoline engines using a 3D CFD tool CONVERGE.

Senior Engineer

BorgWarner

I was a simulation engineer working on GT-Power, GT-Cool and GT-Drive.

During this time, I co-authored a journal paper and presented at SAE World Congress and Thermal Management Systems Symposium.

You can find the journal paper at: http://papers.sae.org/2013-01-0849/

Advanced Engine Simulation Engineer

Partner at EngSim | I help US immigrants boost their income in three ways at Beyond Grad 🎓 -- land a new job, get promoted, and earn on the side.

Are you struggling to land that leap job:

● Even after being a top performer?
● Even after having relevant experience/skills?
● Even after working at top brands in your domain?

On top of that, you have people in your family and friends group doubting you and questioning your talent.

How can’t they when you are scratching your head as well?

I know the frustration…

The fact is – job search has changed.

(Especially if you’re going after top jobs.)

● There are many top performers in the market.
● Having just a resume is not enough for a leap job.
● Companies are looking for perfect fits after layoffs.

So, then what’s working?

Hi, my name is Varun.

And I have helped professionals land interviews at Google, Meta, Instacart, State Street, AMEX, and many other exciting companies.

I’ve talked 1-1 with 100+ top performers in the past year (no hyperbole).

The current job market confounds all of them.

● Online applications seem to go nowhere
● High competition from everywhere
● Even referrals are not working

So how are my mentees landing interviews at the top companies?

They are leading their job search as a product business. Where they are the excellent product.

Like you.

● I help you build your marketing strategy: resume, LinkedIn, pitch deck
● I help you build you sales strategy: networking, interviewing
● I help build your confidence in negotiating a fair value

Above all, I help you rediscover and communicate why YOU are a top candidate. 

💪🏽
