Prior to joining the Feld Center, Ramesh worked as a career coach at General Assembly, a global coding bootcamp, where he taught career workshops, provided one-to-one advising, and organized alumni programming. Before working at the coding bootcamp, he worked as a career counselor for specialty master&#8217;s students at BU Questrom School of Business and co-op counselor for engineering students at College of Engineering at Northeastern University. He also ran his own private practice for a few years where he provided career services to immigrants and international students in the US.<\/p>\n<p>In his current role as an Assistant Director of MBA Career Coaching, Ramesh guides and advises MBA students on the entire career and job-search process, from exploration of industries and functional roles, to crafting and refining personal branding tools, preparing for interviews, and negotiating salaries and job offers.
