Client Testimonial

💬 “Matthias helped me take my progress to the next level. His insight into how bonus pools at financial institutions really work meant I could position my value in a way that management couldn’t ignore. The cost has more than paid off. I’m confident, making real progress, and moving toward where I want to be.”

💬 “I’ve been working with Career Capital to help me get promoted, and it’s been a game-changer. Their insights into how senior managers think and act have given me the confidence to showcase my value in a way that truly resonates.”

💬 “I wish I had come across Matthias’ services years ago. His direct and candid assessments have helped me take control of my career, ensuring institutions recognize my worth and making milestone achievements come faster.”

💬 “Thanks to Career Capital, I negotiated a significantly better package at my current job. Having independent, unbiased advice was invaluable. Now, I’m in a role I love with more seniority, and my career has taken off.”

💬 “When it comes to market outlooks, Matthias adeptly cuts through the noise of news articles, economic data, and other signals. His ability to distill complex information into actionable insights is a testament to his 20+ year trading track record with various financial institutions and his profound understanding of financial markets."

I was so busy working and doing the best for my clients I neglected my own development. Through working with Career Capital I have realised how a few hours regularly have a big impact on how I progress in my organisation. I would never approach a client or a project without a plan and meticulous execution, however my own career I let drift along. I found Matthias' advice on how to navigate as a woman on a trading floor particularly insightful.

💬"Ich bin seit mehreren Jahren äußerst zufriedener Kunde. Dank Matthias’ umfassendem Wissen, tiefgreifender Expertise und seinem beeindruckenden Netzwerk konnte ich meine Karriereziele schneller und effektiver erreichen. Seine zielgerichtete und professionelle Beratung ist absolut empfehlenswert."
