You just figured it out.Help someone else skip the worst parts.
Orient is built around mentors who landed the role 1–5 years ago — when the recruiting process, the questions, and the gatekeepers are still fresh. If that's you, you're exactly who students need.
What you give, what you get.
Mentor when it fits your calendar, share the specific playbook you wish you had, and build a profile around the outcomes students actually care about.
30–60 minutes when you have time
Set your own slots. Pause whenever life gets busy.
Specific, real advice
The unpolished stuff — what to email, what to skip, what to expect.
Your story, as it actually happened
Not a polished LinkedIn version. The honest path.
$40–$150 per session
You set the rates. We handle payments + tax docs.
A profile that builds your brand
Real reviews tied to specific outcomes — not stars.
Active alumni who book you again
Mentors who do this well get repeat sessions and referrals.
What current Orient mentors say.
Honestly, I do this because I had nobody when I was recruiting. The fact I get paid for an hour of telling someone what I learned is wild.
Maya · McKinsey, 2yrs out
I do one session a week. It's $85, it's 45 minutes I would have spent on TikTok, and I genuinely look forward to it.
