From 2-Year Gap to Data Engineering Offer
After 2 years away from tech, I wasn't sure anyone would take a chance on me. Carlos spent an hour walking me through what data engineering looks like today, recommended resources, and even reviewed my resume. Three weeks later I had an offer.

A Mentor Changed My Entire Approach
I was applying to 50 jobs a week with no responses. Rachel helped me rewrite my LinkedIn headline, reframe my gap as a strength, and focus on 5 targeted applications instead. The third one called me back.

From Stay-at-Home Dad to Staff Engineer
Three years away from code felt like a lifetime. Priya did a mock system design interview with me and I realized I still had it. Her feedback on my approach was exactly what I needed to go into my real interviews with confidence.
