I’ve spent over two decades in the tech industry, working across multiple organizations and also building my own startup. In recent times, with layoffs and constant uncertainty, I’ve seen many talented people feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure about their next step. I’ve been there myself. I’m not here as a “career expert” or someone who has all the answers. I don’t claim perfection. What I can offer is my honest perspective, lessons from my own journey, and practical guidance to help you think clearly and move forward with confidence. I won’t sell dreams or generic advice. I’ll ask the right questions and help you think through your next steps in a practical way. If you’re looking for a real conversation—no judgment, no clichés—just thoughtful guidance to help you navigate your career, I’d be happy to help. This is currently at a subsidized rate because my goal is genuinely to help people navigate a difficult phase with clarity and confidence.

This isn’t a coaching session. It’s a fast-moving, high-signal call to unlock one of two things: 👉 If you’re a founder: Bring one question — whether about your pitch, GTM confusion, or direction. I’ll give you fast clarity you can act on. No slides, no fluff. 👉 If you’re an angel investor or advisor: Want to explore synergy, deal collaboration, or joint ventures? Let’s do a fast synergy scan and see if we click. ⚠️ Not for pitch deck reviews or deep dives. If you're looking for pre-call document review, consider my 60-min Deep Review call.

Send me context when you book. I'll read it before we talk, so we don't spend the thirty minutes on background. This is for one real problem: a job offer you're not sure how to negotiate, a move from CSM to a lead role, or three years in the same job and you can't tell if that's an issue. You get my honest read. It's yours to use however you want.

Your resume gets you the interview. The interview gets you the job. Let's make sure both are as strong as they can be. This isn't a mock interview with a FAANG senior manager asking abstract design questions. This is a practical, honest review session with someone who understands the modern junior hiring process. We'll work together to make your resume impactful and give you a framework for tackling technical and behavioral questions with confidence. Who this is for: Students applying for their very first internships or co-op positions. Final-year students preparing for graduate roles and entry-level jobs. Anyone who is applying for jobs but not getting past the initial resume screening. Anyone who gets nervous during interviews and wants a practical framework. What we will cover: We'll go through your resume line-by-line to improve its impact and clarity. How to explain your personal projects in a compelling way that showcases your skills. A simple framework for answering common questions like "Tell me about yourself" and "Tell me about a time you faced a challenge." We can discuss strategies for navigating initial technical questions. What this is NOT: A guaranteed job offer. This session is about improving your skills and confidence. Advanced LeetCode / competitive programming coaching. We will not be solving complex algorithm problems. A mock interview for a Senior/Staff level position. My expertise is focused on the junior to mid-level hiring process. Session Fees (Please Read Carefully): I started these sessions for free, but as more and more people have booked, I want to make sure I can give you my full attention. So I've added a small fee. Charging a small fee helps me keep these slots available and ensures we're both committed to making our time super valuable. Session Fee: PKR 2500 Payment Details: After scheduling your call, payment details will be shared via email. Confirming Your Slot: To confirm your booking, payment must be completed within 48 hours. After that, the unconfirmed slot will be made available for others. Rescheduling & No-Show Policy Our time is mutually respected. If I need to reschedule, you will be offered the choice of a full refund or booking a new time that works for you. If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. No-shows will not be eligible for a refund.
