This is a 1-on-1 coaching program designed to support you through every aspect of a senior-level job search. From clarity → positioning → to interviews → offer. You won’t be left to figure this out alone. What you won’t get •Hours of training videos to watch on your own •Hand-offs to junior coaches or assistants •Weekly group office hours with 25–50 others •One-size-fits-all frameworks or templates •Generic advice that ignores your context I spent the last 10 years helping 875 professionals land $200k-$500k+ job offers, working at companies they admire, doing work they enjoy. After testing multiple coaching models, I learned something important: At the $200k-$500k+ level: •Your search is nuanced. •There are fewer roles. •The decisions are higher-stakes. •The margin for error is smaller Group programs won't cut it here. That’s why I work exclusively 1:1. What you can expect if we work together: •A bespoke strategy built around your goals, constraints, and priorities •A full career audit to clarify what to target next (and what to avoid) •Clear market positioning so you don’t underprice yourself •A resume and LinkedIn profile written for you •A proven approach to land 1–3 interviews per week (on avg) w/o applying •Direct interview preparation before every round •Post-interview debriefs to get clear on whats working and what isn't •Introductions to past clients and my network when helpful •Hands-on support through offer negotiation No guessing. No being left on an island. 2025 Stats: - Avg time to land an offer: 98.4 days - Avg increase in salary: $66,840 - Offers landed at: Google, MSFT, NVIDIA, LinkedIn, Amazon, PayPal, Oracle, Stripe, Meta, Hulu, Netflix, Disney, and many others.
