Through her thoughtful guidance and advice, I’ve gained tools to genuinely connect with others and gain job leads at a pace I had never experienced before! She has a rare gift for helping you see your value and the 'big picture' of job searching, which made a real difference in my confidence and results.

☕️ "Anna is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the job market, especially in technology, engineering, and marketing. I had to pleasure of working with her while I was seeking a new role and she assisted me in securing a great position. She is confident, helpful, and willing to share tons of valuable advice on job seeking tools, including networking and interviewing, which personally made a great improvement in my search."

Early-career Engineer


☕️ "I’ve been following Anna on LinkedIn for about 6 months, and her insights and advice have been invaluable to me during my job search. After completing a bootcamp and entering the competitive field of software engineering, I applied many of the tips she shared regarding networking. Thanks to her guidance, I secured a software engineering role in under three months!

What really stands out about Anna is her generosity in sharing her knowledge and her passion for helping others succeed. Her content and advice made a significant impact on my job search. I highly recommend Anna to anyone seeking advice or mentorship in their career journey—she’s a true expert and a positive force in the job search space."

🌻 Anna Miller

This Software Engineer was stuck with 0 interviews for 8 months…then landed 3 offers in just 4 months.... (Yes, not 1 but 3 Job offers!)

Here’s how →

The 3 reasons that kept her stuck:
→ Lack of a weekly routine for Leetcode practice
→ Relying on online applications (no warm intros)
→ No interview feedback to understand the gaps 

Imagine having 3 years of Software Engineering work experience, plus a Masters and working as a Research Assistant instead of starting a career as a Software Engineer....

That was Cassie’s reality.

Then Cassie joined Outlier Mentors. Once she committed to the system—weekly feedback, consistent DSA and System Design practice, and a much improved resume — everything changed.

She got an interviews for Paypal and JP Morgan... 

Both are strong opportunities to work alongside talented engineers, so she went to work. After 6 weeks of interview preparation and multiple interviews rounds, she got the answer:

She passed all the interviews 🎉

In fact, these 2 new opportunities came after she already got a job offer, but declined it due to below market rate salary and re-location requirement. 

Today, she can choose the best offer from these 2 new opportunities. 😉

Here’s how you can do the same:
 → Practice DSA every week and track your learning
 → Get feedback from someone who actually understands interview skills
 → Build your network, not just your resume

If you feel stuck right now, your momentum can shift very fast, once you commit to your goals using the right strategy.

Instead of wondering why you're not landing an offer, your next 4 months could change everything. 💜

Since I started coaching software engineers, I've helped over 100 software engineers land in new jobs, here's just a few of them:

Corey works at Braze (Technical Support Engineer)
Hannah landed an offer at Arketa (QA Lead)
Dino got an offer at Visa (Fullstack Engineer)
Redoan landed at Google (Fullstack Engineer)
grant got into Amazon (Fullstack Engineer)
Michael K now works at CVS (Python Engineer)
Madison got a role in Airtable (Support Engineer)

These offers helped change their lives, move to new cities and support their families - and of course changed the trajectory of their careers.

Most importantly, they invested in themselves to get support instead of staying stuck - remember, you make your own luck 🍀

The market is hot, companies are hiring - yet many talented Software Engineers struggle to get seen 👀

That's because the rules of the game have changed...

No longer is getting interviews a result of your work experience....someone has to actually see you first before you can even share who you are. The resume is much less important... working in tech is all about building #connections.
