We don't stop until you have a software job. It's possible and necessary.
I've helped fellow software engineers, including those with higher titles or more years in age, land better offers and higher salaries. I've also coached students through the long haul, from SAT anxiety to negotiating full-time offers at Wells Fargo and IBM. If you genuinely want to improve your life, I'll work with you through whatever challenge you bring and whatever challenges inevitably come up. I work as a senior engineer, interview software engineering candidates, and regularly interview for real positions myself. That keeps me current on the job, cognizant of the interviewer's lens, and keenly aware of what YOU face in today's market. I bring this rare combination of all three perspectives into every one of our sessions. Throughout my career, I've built products in law, tax, finance, and biotech. I have said 'no' to far more companies than 'yes.' Above all, I've learned to turn technical optimizations into revenue for my clients. Now I help you turn your skills into higher earnings.
