Dan, is to the point. Which actually means he push you right to the core of the problem. He explained to me how people genuinely want to help and it proved to be absolutely right! I was very surprised by it in a positive way. I am more of a entrepreneur so looking for a job is very painful to me. I am good at hiring people but not finding a position for myself. However with Dan I can see that he can point me to the right direction. Which is gold.

I was riddled with imposter syndrome at the start of my job search for senior fullstack engineering roles, and the process at Career Compass is what kept me pointing in the right direction. I will admit that although I followed the steps clearly outlined by Dan, I didn't fully buy into it right away. When I decided to genuinely commit and accept the unique paradigm shift nestled at the core of Career Compass, I saw real results. Take it from me... just go full tilt into the program. Leave your reservations and doubts behind and watch the process work for you.

Dan’s approach truly left me stunned at just how good someone can be at their job. He is a professional that truly cares. I felt heard, respected, encouraged, and left the call with so much clarity. The fact that this call was free still surprises me, and writing this review is the least I can do to return the favor. If you’re looking for real career guidance, I can’t recommend him enough.

I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer with 7 years of experience under my belt. Career Compass has helped immensely in my 2024 job search, as I went from unemployed to a full-time contract role, and ultimately to full-time permanent employment. Their advice was most helpful, especially in the areas of how to routinely conduct my job search and stand out from the crowd, and particularly about how to evaluate job offers and negotiate for a good salary & total compensation. Dan gave me fantastic advice on several occasions, bringing up points that confirmed feelings I had but had big uncertainties about, and also coming up with brand new insights I hadn’t considered. As a pretty indecisive person, it helped me a lot to have such experienced professionals advising me on what factors to weight heavily in comparing opportunities and offers, which so often include multi variate tradeoffs. They’ll help you cut through the noise and find the signal!

I am a Regional Ops starting with TikTok Shop. I connected with Career Compass after my Regional Operations Director position was eliminated in a layoff and I was looking at my next role. Two distinct pieces of the service really helped me: 1. Tracking applications and focusing on getting referrals for every application. Dan was very helpful in explaining how to find contacts, track if they got my email, and ensure my request leads to positive referrals. 2. Understanding how my interviews are going by immediately taking notes on what went well and what didn't so I can adjust in future interviews.

The skills I've learned through Dan's program will stay with me and compound throughout my entire career. It's the best career investment I've ever made, and I recommend Career it to anyone looking to level up and take the stress away in their job search!

My name is Theodore and I am looking for my next product manager role.

I am a software engineer in India working remotely for a US based startup. Career Compass has been a great help in my job search journey.

The platform deeply cares about your journey, encouraging you to share personal stories that resonate and guiding you through the intricacies of the application process.

Hey there, I'm Janar, and I wanted to share my experience with the career service that completely turned things around for me. After graduating from the Hack Reactor BootCamp, diving into the job market felt like a mental obstacle course. I applied to numerous positions but couldn't even score an interview. Then, along came Dan, a fellow Hack Reactor alum and a senior software engineer at Microsoft. The connection was a game-changer. He didn't just wave a magic wand; he crafted a solid job-search plan. He took the time to dig deep into my background, break down my resume, and even threw in some mock interviews. Suddenly, my interview percentages started to climb. It wasn't just about the technical stuff; he genuinely cared about my personal narrative and made the whole process less intimidating. What sets Dan apart is his personalized approach. He didn't just hand out generic advice; he tailored his guidance to fit my journey. His insights were like gold, offering perspectives and resources that other career services just couldn't match. Dan didn't just help me navigate the job market; he became my go-to support system and guide. I can't express how grateful I am to have had Dan by my side. He's not your typical career advisor; he's a mentor who genuinely invests in your success. Thanks to him, I not only learned a ton but also gained the confidence and skills needed to secure my dream job. If you're navigating the job search, having someone like Dan in your corner is an absolute game-changer.
