LIVE: Free Resume Review - Does Your Story Hold Up in an AI-Driven World? [3/25/2026] (Recording)

AI didn't just change how we work — it changed how we're evaluated. Recruiters are drowning in AI-generated resumes that all sound the same, and the candidates winning roles aren't the ones who used AI the best. They're the ones who knew how to position themselves so clearly that no tool could replicate it. In this free live session, I'll be reviewing resumes on the spot and helping you answer the question most professionals are quietly panicking about: does my story still land in a world where everyone looks polished on paper? Who this is for: Professionals navigating career transitions, pivots, or re-entry who feel like their experience is strong but their resume isn't landing. If you've been wondering whether AI is working for you or against you, this session is your answer. To get your resume reviewed live: Submit it when you register by DMing me. I'll select a handful for live feedback during the session — everyone else walks away with a framework they can apply immediately.

Is a U.S. Degree Still Worth It? Hear from Recent F-1 Grads & BigTech Hiring Managers

​With a turbulent U.S. political climate, difficult economic conditions, and the rise of global multipolarity, many applicants are asking: Is a U.S. degree still worth it? ​Recent U.S. visa policy updates have added new layers of complexity to the decision, leaving international students and early-career professionals weighing the risks and rewards of moving to the US more carefully than ever. ​In this panel moderated by Soundarya (Author of Unshackled, O-1 recipient, Columbia MS'19), you’ll hear from Angela C. (recent O-1 recipient, Stanford MIP '23), David H. (Former Recruiter @ Meta, Intuit & A16Z), and Madhuri M. (recent green card recipient, former Product Hiring Manager @ Adobe) who have hired, coached, and worked with with dozens of international applicants. They’ll share candid perspectives on how U.S. employers view international candidates, what still pays off, what may be shifting, and how to think about long-term career security in light of today’s environment. ​You’ll leave with a grounded understanding of both the opportunities and the risks of studying in order to work in the U.S., so you can make an informed decision about whether pursuing a U.S. degree aligns with your future goals.
