One profile. Three ways to ask Viveka “is this realistic?”

B URL / JD
01 ◦ Evaluate

One role. One honest grade.

Paste a job URL or job description. Viveka extracts the firm, classifies its tier, and scores it against your profile across all five dimensions.

02 ◦ Scan a Firm

A whole careers page, ranked.

Drop in a firm’s careers URL. Viveka fans out across the ATS, filters by your track and level, then returns only the roles graded A or B.

Every portal. Only realistic shots.

Viveka queries Naukri, LinkedIn, IIMJobs, Google Jobs, eFinancialCareers in parallel — then suppresses anything graded C or below. You see the work, not the noise.

Heuristic · grounded in 150-firm knowledge base

A Tier 2 boutique is realistic; a Tier 1 bulge bracket asks for a different lineage entirely.

§ 03 — A sample evaluation

What you actually get back.

CANDIDATE → ROLE

Associate, M&A Advisory
— Avendus Capital

Mumbai · 2–4 yrs · IB track · CFA L2 preferred
Overall
B
Good fit. Track and credentials clear the bar; firm-tier jump from Big 4 TAS is the main friction — not a rejection, but not a layup.
Firm tier
A

Big 4 TAS → Tier 2 boutique IB is a canonical, well-trod path in India.

Credentials
B

CFA L2 candidate + CA Inter — meets stated bar; not above median for this batch.

Level / YoE
A

~3 yrs post-articleship fits the Associate band; not under-leveled.

College
C

Tier 2 commerce college — Avendus doesn’t hard-gate, but it won’t help.

Track
A

FDD + sell-side deal exposure maps directly to M&A advisory work.

What’s working
  • Two closed sell-side mandates on the CV — uncommon at this YoE.
  • Big 4 TAS pedigree gives the boutique a clean training signal.
  • CFA progression in flight; CA Inter cleared on first attempt.
What’s holding back
  • No bulge-bracket name — matters only if you parallel-apply to GS/MS.
  • College brand below median for Avendus’s last three analyst batches.
What to do
  • Lead with the two closed deals in line one of the cover note.
  • Find a 2023 Avendus joiner from a comparable college for a warm intro.
  • Don’t apply to Tier 1 BBs in the same week — it weakens the narrative.
Realistic alternative
If Avendus passes, target o3 Capital, MAPE Advisory, or Kotak IB coverage — same profile, similar bar, often faster process.
