Christian Hopkins
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.

Working with Pinnacle Paths has been incredibly valuable to me, especially thanks to Nirbhay's consistent support and guidance. His efforts in helping me build my professional network and, more importantly, hone in on my interests and passions were truly transformative.

Navjeet Johal
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

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.

I've known Nirbhay for over a decade and he has always been a super connector. He was extremely helpful in advising me on my recent career change. Nirbhay guided me on networking strategies and best practices that I continue to use to this day. He's a great mentor and I highly recommend leveraging his professional services.

Nirbhay is sharp, resourceful, and has a real ability to help things move forward. He helped me clarify how I present myself and offered a few focused suggestions that made an immediate impact. His advice is practical and well-timed, and he understands how to position experienced professionals in a way that resonates.
