Career & Leadership

For senior ICs and engineering managers trying to figure out what's next. Whether you're preparing for a director-level interview at a top company, figuring out the IC vs. management fork, or pivoting into AI engineering from adjacent roles — I've been through all of it.

What I can help with:

• Director/VP-level interview prep: system design at scale, leadership narratives, org design questions.
• IC-to-management transition: what changes, what doesn't, what nobody tells you.
• AI career pivots: realistic assessment of what you need to learn and what you can skip.
• Resume and positioning: how to tell your story to a hiring committee, not a recruiter.
• Navigating job markets from India for global roles.
