It’s tailored for all levels, but I specifically focus on mid-level and senior engineers who already have strong technical skills but need to refine their storytelling, negotiation, and problem-solving approaches during interviews. If you’re an experienced engineer looking to move to a top-tier company or relocate, this training will be especially useful.
It depends on your starting point and how much you practice. Many of my clients see significant improvements in just a few weeks—some even get offers after their next interview! The key is consistency: the more you apply what we cover, the faster you'll see results.
