  I had a great session with Akash, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their resume or navigate the job market more effectively. With over 10 years of experience in the industry, Akash doesn't just give generic resume advice—he explains the hiring process from a recruiter's perspective. One of the most valuable parts of the session was seeing how recruiters actually review thousands of resumes, what catches their attention, what gets ignored, and how to structure your profile to stand out in that initial screening. He provided practical, actionable feedback on my resume and helped tailor it for the kinds of roles I'm targeting, rather than making broad suggestions. The session was highly interactive, and every recommendation was backed by real-world hiring insights. After speaking with him, I feel much more confident in my resume and in how I present my experience. More importantly, I now have a much better understanding of how to approach job applications strategically instead of applying blindly. If you're serious about your job search—whether you're preparing for your next role or aiming for top product companies—I'd definitely recommend booking a session with Akash. The insights you gain are practical, relevant, and immediately applicable.

  Had a great conversation with Akash recently, and I truly appreciate the guidance he shared. As someone returning from Canada and navigating the Indian tech market, I had several questions around compensation, expectations, and positioning. Akash took the time to clearly explain how the market works, reviewed my resume, and provided practical, actionable advice on approaching my job search more effectively. He even went beyond the scheduled time to ensure all my questions were addressed, something I’m genuinely grateful for. His feedback was thoughtful, structured, and gave me much needed clarity and direction. I sincerely appreciate his support and look forward to learning more from him as I continue this journey. I would highly recommend connecting with him if you're navigating a similar transition. Regards,

  Akash is a real gem of a mentor. I reached out to him primarily for relocating out of India. He has vast experience working with international recruiters because of his time at Wolt and DoorDash. In my first call, he gave me hidden gems regarding how recruiters work behind the scenes and how I can optimise my LinkedIn and resume. I then took the advice and gave it to Claude, which optimised the resume and after applying with this resume, I started getting calls from EU companies. Finally, cracked one loop with a top EU company - Bolt. Reached out to Akash again for salary negotiation and he provided valuable insights again. I remember that our first call was supposed to be for 1 hour, but he extended by himself to 1.5 hours, which was genuinely surprising. I believe Akash is strongly underpricing himself with the mentoring prices, and this is from my experience mentoring with international recruiters as well. I strongly recommend Akash if you need any help in terms of resume/LinkedIn optimisation, salary negotiation or just understanding how the recruiters work behind the scenes.

  Had a great 60-min session with Akash. He was candid and super practical — helped me understand the hiring bar for backend roles, what interview loops really test (codecraft/debugging + system design), and how to position my resume/LinkedIn with stronger impact and metrics. He also shared useful context on levels/comp and how to approach outreach/networking more effectively. Overall, very actionable and worth it if you want recruiter-side clarity and a concrete plan.
