Pinnacle Paths, and especially Nirbhay Kumar, have been instrumental in shaping my career path. Thanks to his mentorship and connections, I landed an internship at Tampa Bay Wave this fall. His guidance helped me approach the job search with confidence, clarity, and strategy. I couldn’t be more grateful.

I was completely overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. Nirbhay was incredible at helping me hone in on what I'm truly good at and how to market myself effectively. His ability to find roles that perfectly fit my profile was spot-on, and his immense network connectivity is not to be underestimated. Would I recommend his services? Without a doubt. I plan to remain a forever client

Paarth Tyagi
Working with Pinnacle Paths gave me the invaluable opportunity to explore a wide range of career paths and industries I hadn’t previously known about. This experience allowed me to dive deeper into areas aligned with my interests, ultimately helping me secure an internship with Lantern Point Labs, a VC pre-accelerator.
