Connecting with Sonam Rastogi was the best investment I’ve made for my career pivot. She quickly understood my background as a former Architect and current Engineering Manager, and gave me the exact blueprint for the Senior EM loop in top-tier tech. What stood out was her clear feedback, actionable suggestions on my areas of improvement, and the structured minutes of the meeting (MOM) she shared to help me plan my next steps. We maximized every minute of our 30-minute call. A fantastic mentor for anyone looking to navigate the leadership bar!

It was my first ever Topmate session. Sonam was to the point while giving me the feedback and extremely patient while answering my queries. She even gave a written MoM(minutes of meeting) which I feel is a cherry on the top and something unique about her approach to mentorship. Thanks alot, Sonam. I would definitely recommend her sessions to students/ professionals seeking career advice / feedback.
