Ranked #1 Career Coach Worldwide | Helping Senior ICs & People Leaders Land $200K-$500K Dream Jobs

Ready to grow your salary and land a role you actually love?

I've helped over 300 professionals break through salary ceilings and land life-changing positions at Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, and other top companies.

Here's what makes my approach different:

Most job seekers waste months applying to hundreds of jobs with no results. My clients land multiple offers in 6-12 weeks using "The Simple Success Method" - my distilled 5-step system that focuses only on what gets you hired. After 300+ successful placements, I've learned that executive-level results come from doing the RIGHT 5 things perfectly, not overwhelming yourself with complicated processes.

My track record speaks for itself:
✓ 300+ clients placed at dream companies  
✓ Average salary increase: 40-80%  
✓ 220M+ content views helping job seekers  
✓ Featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Business Insider  
✓ Built my own 7-figure business using these exact strategies  

What you get in Career Leap:
→ The Simple Success Method™ (my battle-tested 5-step system)  
→ 1:1 coaching sessions with me personally  
→ Exclusive access to proprietary AI job search tool  
→ Group coaching with other high-performers  
→ Private community of ambitious professionals  
→ Complete confidentiality throughout your search  

This isn't for everyone. I only work with senior-level individual contributors and people leaders who are serious about making a major career move and ready to invest in themselves.

My guarantee: If you don't land a $200K-$500K role within 90 days, we'll keep working with you until you do. That's how confident I am in this system.

More about me: Currently living in Chicago. I worked at LinkedIn for 4 years helping Fortune 500 companies hire top talent, then founded my own 7-figure recruiting start-up. Now I use that complete 360° perspective - platform insider knowledge + hiring expertise + entrepreneurial success - to help people land jobs they actually love.

The best career advice President Obama ever gave?

“Just learn how to get things done.”

Not “be the smartest in the room.”
Not “get another certification.”
Not “grind 80-hour weeks.”

Just get things done.

It sounds obvious.
But it’s rare.

Most people:
→ Overthink
→ Over-plan
→ Wait for permission
→ Get stuck in “polish mode”
→ Confuse motion with progress

And while they’re spinning, someone else executes.

That’s who moves up.
That’s who earns trust.
That’s who gets remembered.

Getting things done isn’t about being a robot.

It’s about being reliable.
It’s about following through.
It’s about making things happen.

Because perfection doesn’t build careers.
Progress does.

If you want to lead at any level…

Start with action.
Stay consistent.
Ship the work.

Be known as the person who gets it done.

The rest will follow.

#1 for Career Coaching on LinkedIn. I help senior-level ICs & people leaders grow their salaries and land fulfilling $200K-$500K jobs —​> 300+ placed at top companies.

I see people spend 20 hours perfecting their resume.

Then blow the interview in 20 seconds.

After coaching 300+ professionals into $200K+ roles, I've seen the same pattern:

They know WHAT to say.
They don't know HOW to say it.

Here's the truth:
AI is a huge advantage for jobseekers.
It's replacing outdated interview prep.
Making it way better.

The people landing dream roles aren't smarter.
They're using AI to practice scenarios you'll actually face.

Take this prompt that helped a client land a VP role at Microsoft:

"My potential weakness is [X]. Create an authentic response that shows self-awareness, growth mindset, and proactive improvement. Include specific actions I've taken."

Or this one that generated a $40K higher offer:

"I'm interviewing for [role] at [company]. Market rate is $[X]. Generate 3 counter-offer data points and negotiation phrases that maintain the relationship while maximizing value."

These aren't generic templates.
They're precision tools for high-stakes conversations.

While others memorize canned answers, you're building dynamic responses.

While they hope for easy questions, you're ready for curveballs.

While they accept first offers, you're negotiating with data.

The gap between good and great isn't talent.
It's preparation.

And preparation is now 10x easier with AI.

Your competition is still using 2010 strategies for 2025 opportunities.

That's your advantage.

Every interview has predictable moments:
• The weakness question
• The salary discussion  
• The "why should we hire you"
• The cultural fit probe

Master these moments and you'll dramatically increase your chances of landing the offer.

That's exactly what we do in my Career Leap program.

I'm taking on 5 people this month who are serious about landing $200K-$500K roles using AI-driven prep that actually works.

If that's you: https://lnkd.in/gCKpEsYg

Googling the company name isn’t enough anymore.

Here’s how the candidates who get offers prepare.

Having coached 100s of people into $200k–$500k jobs, 
I see a pattern.

Some clients show up knowing basic facts about their 
target company.

Others understand the business like they’ve been 
working there for years.

It’s the latter who usually receives the offer. 

They do it by researching at 3 levels:

1. BEGINNER RESEARCH
- Company wins and growth moments
- Leadership team backgrounds and styles
- Product demos to see what they actually do
- Recent news to know what's happening

2. INTERMEDIATE RESEARCH
- Money trends from earnings reports
- Employee chats through LinkedIn messages
- Customer reviews to understand reputation
- Culture insights from Glassdoor

3. ADVANCED RESEARCH
- Competitors and where they struggle
- Partnerships and what they mean
- Industry problems they're likely discussing
- Executive interviews about future plans

Why spend the time? 

To stand out, you can’t just answer questions well.

You have to ask better questions.

Discuss challenges like an insider.

Sound confident because you understand the business.

This preparation may take hours.

But it's what separates a "good candidate" from a 
"must-have hire."

You don’t get what you deserve.
You get what you negotiate.
And most people negotiate poorly.

Staying silent can cost you up to $1.5 million over your career.

After coaching hundreds of professionals into $200k+ roles, here’s what I’ve learned:

Most people don’t get underpaid because they lack experience.
They get underpaid because they use language that weakens their leverage.

One weak phrase can cost you $50k+ instantly…and that compounds over time.

❌ Lower raises
❌ Smaller bonuses
❌ Less equity

Your negotiation language sets the baseline for everything that follows.

If you catch yourself saying things like “I’m flexible on compensation,” stop right there.

Here are 3 powerful phrase swaps that changed the game for my clients:

❌ Never: “I just really need this job.”
✅ Instead: “I’m excited about the opportunity and want to ensure compensation aligns with the value I bring.”

❌ Never: “I’m currently making X at my job.”
✅ Instead: “Based on market data for similar roles, I’m seeing a range of X–Y. How does that align with your budget?”

❌ Never: “I’d be willing to take less to get started.”
✅ Instead: “I’m very interested in this position and would like to work together to finalize the compensation.”

See the difference?

You’re not being difficult.
You’re being clear.

You’re not demanding more.
You’re defining your worth.

Weak phrases cost you for decades.
Strong language changes everything.

You're one interview away from changing your life.

But here's what nobody tells you about landing
a great job:

It's not about having all the right experience.
It's about telling the right story.

I just watched a client (who was laid off) beat out
7 other candidates for a $300k role.

His secret?

He had answers that made the hiring manager
lean in and say “tell me more.”

Today, I’m giving you those exact
kinds of answers. For free.

After helping 300+ professionals land roles
they love (many with 40%-80% salary jumps)...

I’ve decoded what separates forgettable candidates
from unforgettable ones.

The truth is:
You already have what it takes.
You just need to package it right.

Companies aren’t looking for perfection.

They're looking for someone who can articulate
their value with confidence and clarity.

That someone can be you.
Starting today.

33 Tough Job Interview_Questions (With A Answers) 

I stopped asking “What’s the culture like?” in job interviews.

Not because culture doesn’t matter.
It determines everything — your growth, confidence, stress, performance, and well-being.

I stopped asking it because it never reveals the truth.

Ask any hiring manager and you’ll hear the same three lines:

“Collaborative.”
“Innovative.”
“Like family.”

Vague. Rehearsed. Meaningless.

If you want real insight, you need questions that force specifics — not slogans.
Questions that uncover actual behavior, not branding.

Here are 12 that expose what it’s really like to work somewhere:

“What surprised new hires in their first 3 months?”
 ↳ Hesitation or generic answers = hidden chaos.

“Can you give me an example of someone who grew here?”
 ↳ They should name names, not speak in theory.

“What employee feedback turned into real changes?”
 ↳ No examples means your voice won’t matter.

“How are achievements celebrated here?”
 ↳ Only sales wins = limited recognition.

“How does the team encourage different viewpoints?”
 ↳ Buzzwords without action = fake inclusivity.

“What does professional development look like in practice?”
 ↳ Ask for budgets and examples, not promises.

“How does information flow between leadership and teams?”
 ↳ One-way communication kills trust.

“When did your values guide a tough decision?”
 ↳ If they can’t recall one, the values don’t matter.

“What’s changed since you started working here?”
 ↳ No change = stagnation.

“How can I understand how people think here?”
 ↳ Being caught off guard = culture isn’t intentional.

“What happens when someone makes a mistake?”
 ↳ Fear-based answers reveal toxicity instantly.

“What would your team say about you?”
 ↳ Discomfort here is a major red flag.

The best companies don’t have perfect answers.
But they do have leaders who:

- Lean forward when you ask
- Share specifics, not slogans
- Name real people and real examples
- Admit where they’re improving
- Aren’t threatened by honest conversations

The worst companies?

They hide behind mission statements.
They dodge specifics.
They get defensive.
They try to sound “fine.”

Remember: You’re not just interviewing for a job.
You’re interviewing for the next 2,000 hours of your life.

Ask the questions most people are too afraid to ask.
You deserve real answers.

What question would you add?

6-figure offers don't go to the best candidates.

They go to the ones who follow a system, not luck.

Applying to jobs feels like shouting into a void.
Recruiters get 250+ applications for every role.

Your resume has 6 seconds to make an impact.
But there's a better way to stand out.

After helping 300+ professionals land amazing roles, 
I've noticed a pattern:

The most successful job seekers aren't 
using the same LinkedIn as everyone else.

They're using these 5 proven hacks that most people miss:

1️⃣ Your profile is your sales page, not your resume

Headline: Role + industry Focus + your Impact
About: Tell us who you are, what you do, why it matters
Featured: Showcase wins with real evidence

2️⃣ One good comment can outperform ten average posts

Comment on executives' content (they notice)
Add genuine insight to show your credibility.
Ask a thoughtful question to build a relationship

3️⃣ Consistency beats viral content every time

LinkedIn rewards weekly posters with 5X more 
profile views and 7X more connections. 

Your formula:

Start with a valuable insight
Add a quick personal example
End with a simple call-to-action

4️⃣ The DM template that gets 50%+ response rates:

"Hey [Name], I saw your post on [topic]. 
Really resonated with your take. 
I've worked on something similar, 
curious how your team is approaching [X] right now?"

5️⃣ The hidden "Open to Work" hack

Set your status to "Recruiters Only" - 
you'll get the algorithm boost 
without broadcasting to your network.

The job market has SERIOUSLY changed.
97% of recruiters find talent on LinkedIn, not job boards.

Most still apply the old way and remain invisible.
While others wait for luck to strike, you need to be creating your own opportunities.

These 5 hacks are your system for standing out.
→ Your strategy beats talent every time.

This right here is why I tell my coaching clients to spend as much time interviewing the manager as they do interviewing for the role.

The quality of your manager directly impacts your growth trajectory.

In my career, I've seen all three types:

1. Bad bosses who held me back, refusing to acknowledge my potential.

2. Good bosses who helped me grow within their organization, creating paths for me to learn new skills.

3. And great bosses who supported me even when my growth meant moving on. One even helped me network for my next role because she knew it was the right step for me.

When interviewing, ask these revealing questions:

↳ "How many people on your team have been promoted in the last year?"
↳ "Can you share an example of someone who left your team for a better opportunity?"
↳ "What's your philosophy on developing people who might eventually outgrow their roles?"

Their answers will tell you everything.

Remember: You're not just choosing a job, you're choosing a boss who will either accelerate or stall your career.

Who's had a great boss who encouraged their growth, even when it meant leaving?

Your next job isn't coming from your best friend.

It's coming from that person you barely know.

LinkedIn did a massive study with 20 million users to test this theory.

What it revealed:

↳ You're 2x more likely to land a job through weak connections vs. strong ones.

↳ Weak ties = people you aren't close with (e.g. former colleagues, acquaintances)

↳ LinkedIn's definition of a weak tie: less than 10 mutual connections

Why weak ties are powerful:

- Access to new information
- Connections to new people
- Exposure to fresh opportunities

Strong ties play in the same circles you do, limiting access to new opportunities. 

Your action plan this week:
Reach out to 3 people you don't know well or haven't spoken to in years.

Your next big opportunity might be just one weak connection away.

CEO & Founder @CoderFarm | Insurance to Your Project's Success by Providing Specialized Developers & Dedicated Support | React JS & Node JS Resource Augmentation

👋 Hi, I’m Dheeraj — Founder | Builder | Hiring Optimist
🚀 What I’m Building
I’m creating a remote hiring platform for IT startups to find developers who truly align with their mission — not just their tech stack.

Think:
✅ Culture-fit > Resume
✅ Shared vision > Transaction
✅ Purpose-driven matches > Just skills

🔍 Why This Matters
🎓 It started in 2013...
At my first campus interview, I saw hundreds of students chasing jobs they didn’t understand — driven by fear, not clarity.
That’s when I asked:

“How can you choose a job if you don’t even know what it’s about?”

Later that year, I lost my father in a car accident. I was 19.
That grief made me fearless. I promised myself to build something that helped others.

💼 17 Jobs Later...
I worked at 17 companies — searching for a team I aligned with.
I never found it. So in 2019, I started my own agency with my wife.
We even built a mud-walled, nature-filled office.

Clients came — Canva, SmartData, IIT Roorkee — but I saw the same old hiring problems:

Resume obsession

No curiosity

Misaligned teams

💡 The Turning Point
In 2023, I tried to solve it. Built an internal team. It failed.
Why? They weren’t aligned with the mission.

“You can’t build culture without the right people.”

I started studying hiring deeply — from books to behavioral psychology — and built a system focused on:
✅ Curiosity
✅ Culture-fit
✅ Honest work

It worked.

🛠️ Now, I'm building…
A remote staffing platform where:

Startups find developers aligned in purpose & values

Developers find work that fits their mindset

Both sides are matched based on real compatibility, not just keywords

✨ Features: culture-fit filters, real feedback, purpose-based profiles, and a trust-driven reputation score.

🙏 What I Need
I’m in the ideation stage, and learning from founders like you.
If you’ve ever struggled to build a team that cares — let’s connect.

Thanks for reading 🙏
Let’s build something better than job portals — something with heart.
