Had an incredibly practical 1:1 session that went far beyond generic career advice. He gave me a clear, top-down framework for restructuring my resume, tactical guidance on getting referrals, and pushed me to think about my projects as an integrated SOC pipeline rather than standalone tools. Genuinely one of the most actionable mentorship sessions I've had, would recommend to anyone trying to break into SOC.

I had a great Topmate session with Sivarama Krishnan on transitioning into a defensive cybersecurity role. The session was very informative. He was friendly, approachable, and clearly explained how to plan my career transition, including the skills I should focus on and the steps I need to take. What I appreciated most was his patience. He listened carefully to all my questions and addressed each one with clear, practical advice. I left the session with much better clarity and confidence about my next steps.

He connected my existing experience to a security career path in ways I hadn’t seen myself, and left me with a clear, immediate roadmap forward. Knowledgeable, generous with his time, and refreshingly actionable exactly what someone starting out needs. Truly grateful.”
