I've been building software for 12+ years - most recently as a Staff Software Engineer at Intuit, and before that at MakeMyTrip and SAP. In that time I've been on both sides of the hiring table. I've interviewed 100s of engineers at Intuit and I've also been the person sending applications into the void and hearing nothing back. Both views turned out to be useful, and they taught me the same thing: most engineers I meet aren't short on skill. They're short on the language to describe it. That's most of what I do here. I'll tell you what a hiring manager actually sees in the first twenty seconds of your resume, and what's really blocking your next step - whether that's a switch, a promotion, a domain change, or just getting a single callback. I keep these sessions blunt and specific. You won't get advice you could have found in a LinkedIn carousel, and if I think you're about to make a bad move I'll say so. Book a resume review if you're applying and not hearing back. Book a career call if you know something needs to change but not what. If you're unsure which, send me a Priority DM first.
