What if your next career move came with a $150K increase in total compensation?
That’s exactly what happened when I helped one of my clients, Samantha (name changed for privacy reasons), land her dream offer at Meta.
But this journey wasn’t just about money. For months, Samantha struggled with imposter syndrome and self-doubt.
Despite her years of experience leading business-critical initiatives, she constantly questioned if she was truly ready for the next step.
She was second-guessing her worth.
She felt invisible in the job market.
She feared rejection more than she feared staying in the same place.
Until she decided it was time for a change.
Here’s the exact process I guided her through to position herself as a top-tier candidate and break into leadership at Meta:
Step 1: Conducted a comprehensive career audit
I worked closely with her to assess her career goals, refine her target roles, and identify her unique value proposition. This clarity ensured she pursued opportunities aligned with her strengths and ambitions.
Step 2: Revamped her resume for leadership impact
Samantha’s old resume undersold her. I helped her revamp the resume to showcase her leadership in enterprise-wide initiatives and highlight her impact on business outcomes - ensuring hiring managers instantly saw her as a high-caliber candidate.
Step 3: Leveraged a well-networked referral strategy
Instead of relying on job boards, I helped her build a well-networked referral strategy to her land a direct connection to the hiring manager.
This didn’t just bypass the traditional application pile - it positioned her as a high-value candidate before she even stepped into the interview.
Step 4: Mastered interviews using the SOARR(c) framework
Samantha had the skills, but she needed to articulate her impact with executive presence.
Through multiple rounds of mock interviews, I coached her to handle tough questions, and demonstrate her ability to drive outcomes at scale.
We used our proven SOARR(c) framework, so she left no doubt that she was the right hire.
Step 5: Negotiated a life-changing compensation package
When the offer came in, we didn’t settle for the first number. We used a data-driven negotiation strategy, and it helped her successfully maximize her base salary, RSUs, and bonuses, adding an extra $150K in total compensation to her package.
The outcome? She got her dream job at Meta with a transformative financial uplift.
And this isn’t a one-time success story.
Every week, we help our clients land high-impact roles in tech, spanning Software Development, Product Management, Product Marketing, Data Analytics, and more.
