Interviews are scary

and our jobs don't prepare us for it.

😰 You want to quit your job. But not sure
if you'll get another one.

The fear is real. And even more: What if I switch and get laid off?

🙅 Technical skills
are necessary
but not sufficient.

You know the answers. But you fumble during the interview.

☠ You deserve better.
You know it.
You feel it in your bones.

But the system is designed to keep you on your current job.

😭 You're stuck at a toxic workplace / bad manager.

It's affecting your mental health.

🤨 Everyone on social media is getting offers.

What are they doing differently?

You’re not alone in this.
Every developer faces these same battles!

I'm in this space for over 5 years now. It pains me to see even smart developers getting stuck for years.

Look, I get it. Getting ghosted by recruiters hurts. The interview phase is stressful and lonely. It brings out your worst insecurities. Am I good enough?

I've seen thousands of people go through this journey closely. Everybody goes through a roller-coaster of emotions. Clearing interviews is an acquired skill. You have to be intentional about it.
