Career advice flooding the internet stops at the surface — polish your resume, reach out to more recruiters, grind more interview prep. But if you're putting in the effort and still not getting traction, the problem isn't effort. It's strategy. That's what I help with — going into the foundations of your applications and asking the deeper question: are you clearly communicating that you're a real-world problem solver, and is that message reaching the right people? Yes, I got offers from Google and Amazon. But the perspective I coach from came from hundreds of hours of interviewing, and several rejections during surging layoffs in recent years. I've also sat on the other side, on interviewing committees at Google, watching how candidates are actually shortlisted and selected in one of the most competitive hiring environments in tech. Till now, I have helped several people successfully navigate daunting job-hunts. Here's where I can help: 1. Targeting the Right Role: Not everyone is suited for everything. Applying to every vaguely relevant role isn't a strategy — you end up with generic applications that don't land anywhere. I'll help you reflect on your ambitions, experience, and personality to find the right fit, so when you do apply, you do so with focus and conviction. 2. Portfolio & Resume: Most people over-index on their school, degrees, and previous roles — but in today's market that doesn't answer the most important question: how have you solved real problems, worked in teams, and delivered results? On the other hand, there's a temptation to exaggerate and stuff in keywords — a good hiring team sees through this quickly, and it can disqualify you faster than a weak application. I'll help you communicate your actual body of work in a way that lands — honestly and compellingly. 3. Outreach: In an era of easy-apply and mass recruiter outreach, volume doesn't work. I'll help you identify and connect with the people who actually matter, and present yourself as someone who adds value and not someone fishing for an opportunity. 4. Interviewing: The goal isn't to prepare for every possible question — that's a losing game. Instead we build a solid framework: clear high-level narratives backed by specific facts that cover the main areas of questioning, so you can handle whatever comes at you. 5. Post-Offer: Getting an offer is not the finish line. I'll help you evaluate whether the team is actually worth joining, understand your market value, and have the salary and leveling conversations with confidence. 6. Rejection: The job hunt is daunting — and a lot of it depends on luck. You could do everything right and still not get hired. What matters is how you process rejection, stay consistent, and keep going without burning out. It's probably the most important part in my opinion. And if you're still in college or early in your career, here's the most valuable thing I can help you with: Building Your Portfolio — The Long Game: The gap between academia and industry has never been wider. Hiring teams are focusing less on academic credentials as they tell very little about how you actually think and build. The real differentiator is a portfolio of long-term projects — not course-prescribed assignments, but things you chose to work on because you were genuinely curious or driven to solve something real. This can't be done last minute. I'll help you figure out what to work on and how to document it — so that when the time comes, your work speaks for itself. This was the single biggest differentiator in my own early career — and it's the thing I'm most uniquely qualified to help you with. If you book an intro call, I'll send a questionnaire beforehand to have an idea about you and your dreams before the call. Afterwards, I'll follow up with concrete recommendations regardless of whether we work together. For regular full-length sessions, each one comes with pre-call agenda setting and post-call notes and task list. Bulk session purchases are discounted.
