Hi! I'm Stephanie! I'm passionate about building impactful partnerships, enabling businesses to grow, and making sure the social impact community thrives. With over a decade of consistently generating seven and eight figure annual revenue for companies, I understand what it takes to drive success.

Over the last 15 years working with non-profit, government and for profit businesses, I've developed a unique process for building community and generating revenue through a partnership growth mindset. I've been fortunate to develop programs and partnerships that have touched lives across the globe, from India to the United States and beyond. I've created thousands of ecosystems and opportunities that unite governments, educators, employers, and donors to make tangible change.

I believe that together we can achieve great things and am committed to paving the way for a more inclusive, impactful future.

I can coach a multi-million dollar proposal team, but coaching volleyball felt terrifying.

For years, I've lived and breathed volleyball—even having a court right in my front yard! But passion for a sport doesn't automatically translate into coaching skill. This thinking held me back.

Professionally, I'm confident coaching teams through complex proposals, government funding, and partnership strategies. 

But volleyball felt different. It was my pure outlet, my passion - what if I wasn't any good at it?

This year, I decided to challenge that fear. I took the leap and started coaching a regional training team of 15U/16U girls.

The results?

It's better than I ever imagined.

The skills I use in professional settings like mentoring, strategy, driving a team—are incredibly relevant on the court.

And yes, getting a clothespin that says "Fav Coach" at a tournament this weekend absolutely made my year! 🥳

My takeaway? Don't let the fear of the unknown sideline you. 

That simple phrase, "I don't know how to do this yet, but I'm willing to learn," is the easiest first step to unlocking unexpected growth. 

You may just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

Ready to take the leap? What small risk are you committing to take this week to step outside your comfort zone?

In two days, we hit the road for a month-long adventure.

Some vacation time, some work days, and a LOT of hours together - twenty-four a day for thirty days straight to be exact.

We did not take our annual road trip last year for a lot of reasons, so this one feels extra special.

He is my favourite person in the world, and every time we do a trip like this, I fall even more in love with him. 

For the way he sees life. 

For the way he interacts with strangers. 

For the way we show up for each other - him driving, me taking meetings.

I will share pieces of this year’s journey as we go.

Here is to adventure, love, and the balance of work and rest that somehow always feels right when you are on the road.

#JoinMe #Roadtrip

I’m equal parts terrified and thrilled to share this.

Because this one… it means something.

It’s built from every proposal written, every “not this time” email, every partnership formed, and every win celebrated over the last 20 years.

After months of work (and a few too many coffees), Sandra and I are launching something we wish existed when we started out.

Introducing The Funding Compass.

If you’ve ever spent hours searching for grants, rewriting proposals, or wondering how to turn one-time wins into steady, reliable funding — this is for you.

Between Sandra Saric and I, we’ve spent over two decades writing, reviewing, and funding proposals.

We’ve seen how competition has intensified, how partnerships have become harder to build, and how organizations are pushed to maximize their own piece of the pie instead of expanding what’s possible together.

We knew there had to be a better way.

✨ The Funding Compass helps organizations to not just find funding and win it but to turn opportunities into sustainable, predictable revenue streams.

It’s designed to bring clarity to the process, structure to your strategy, and momentum to your mission.

Because funding shouldn’t feel like chaos. It should feel like confidence.

Check it out: www.thefundingcompass.com

This isn’t just a launch — it’s a milestone built on every late night, every lesson, and every “try again.” And we’re just getting started. Join us!

Also - feedback is always welcome. We've already made improvements since it was launched to our Insider's Group.

The Funding Compass - Never Miss a Funding Opportunity Again

I woke up sick today.

And for the first time in a long time, it is just a regular cold.

Not the kind that comes from pushing too hard for too long. 

Not the kind where you finally slow down, take a break, and your body crashes the moment you exhale. The vacation cold. The post-deadline flu. The crash that happens right when you finally breathe.

Our bodies remember what we try to ignore. They hold the exhaustion we keep pushing through.

So this time, I am grateful. Grateful that this cold is just a cold. 

Just a normal, human, everyday cold.

It feels almost like a sign of progress. 

That maybe (just maybe) I am finally learning what balance looks like.

Sometimes the smallest things remind you that healing does not always look like rest. 

Sometimes it looks like living at a pace your body can keep up with.

#ProgressOverPerfection #TakeCareOfYourself #RestAndRelax

There's a light snow falling outside this morning. ☃️
Everything is quiet.
Still.

It's the kind of morning that reminds me how easy it is to overlook the quiet when life moves fast.

Today, I'm choosing to notice it.
To appreciate the space between what was and what is coming.

Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do is slow down enough to hear yourself think. ❄️

#Grateful #SlowDown

This week had wins. It also had moments of doubt, long pauses, and those quiet “am I doing this right” check ins.

That is the part of building something new that most people never see.

The good and the uncertain are always happening at the same time.

We launched things.
People showed up.
Feedback came in.
Progress is real.

And at the same time, I am learning, adjusting, and growing just as fast as the work itself.

It is a reminder that creating something meaningful is rarely smooth.

It stretches you, surprises you, humbles you, and energizes you… sometimes all in the same day.

If you are in a season where the wins and the wobble live side by side, you are not alone.

Both are part of the story. CHEERS TO GROWING AND IMPROVING!

What did this week teach you?

#SeasonofGrowth Jedno #Leadership #Authenticity

I AM A FEMALE ENTREPRENEUR.
Wait. What? Really? How did that happen?

I should have posted this yesterday.
You know, ON the ACTUAL National Women’s Entrepreneurship Day.
But for all the reasons I am sure many people face… I didn’t.
So here we are. One day late, still just as proud.

I never pictured myself in this world. I did the work. I led teams. I supported organizations. But entrepreneur felt like a title for other people.

And yet… here I am.

And what is EVEN BETTER than becoming an entrepreneur myself?

Building something with a cofounder who is also a woman.

Someone who brings her own brilliance and strength.
Someone who sees the vision and helps expand it.
Someone who wants to build something that makes a real difference.

There is something powerful about creating something with another woman who leads with integrity, purpose, and an enormous amount of heart. Shout out to you Sandra Saric!!!

So, to every woman who has stepped into something new, surprising, or brave this year… I see you.

#FemaleEntrepreneurship #FromFriendsToFounders Jedno

In the past few weeks, I’ve had conversations with nonprofit leaders and a common thread keeps surfacing.

Everyone’s trying to lead through change while the rules keep shifting.

The opportunities are still there, but they’re smaller, faster, and harder to catch.

A pilot project here. 

A short-term funding window there. 

A new initiative that may not exist by next fiscal year.

What I’m hearing over and over again is that leadership today feels less like strategy and more like triage. 

Leaders are holding their teams together, 
managing funder relationships, 
and trying to stay innovative when the ground won’t stop moving.

The challenge isn’t just finding funding anymore. It’s learning how to diversify it. 

Resilience has always been part of this work. But agility, well that’s becoming the new superpower.

If you are a leader in this space, the best thing you can do right now is stay curious.

Ask what else your organization could offer beyond its current programs.

Reach out to partners in different sectors.

Look at where your mission intersects with economic priorities.

Diversification starts with curiosity, not capacity.

You've got this!!!

#GovernmentFunding #RevenueDiversification #MakingADifference #BusinessDevelopment

Yesterday I had one of those conversations that fills you with pure joy.

The kind where you pause for a second, smile, and think, THIS is why I do this work.

Someone I have had the privilege of working with just had their second proposal approved.

Seeing their excitement, their relief, and their sense of possibility made my whole day.

What makes it even better is remembering the journey, all the learning, the refining, the patience it takes to get to this point. 

Every funded proposal carries a story of persistence and growth.

I am so proud of the work they are doing, and so grateful to play even a small role in helping bring their vision to life.

Here’s to more of these conversations.

The quiet wins that remind us that momentum builds one “yes” at a time.

#CelebratingWins #GovernmentFunding #ProposalDevelopment #BusinessDevelopment

Every now and then someone says something that hits you in a way you did not expect. That happened yesterday.

I was in a conversation that flowed easily. We talked about work and life. We were catching up because it had been a few years since we spoke and a lot had changed in both our lives. 

At one point she said she always remembered and valued that I wasn't an ego driven leader.

It stopped me for a moment because it reminded me why I do this work. 

I care about helping people work together in ways that feel honest, supportive, and real. 

I care about creating connection. 

I care about clearing the noise so teams and partners can do their best work together.

Her comment felt less like praise and more like a small reminder that I am on the right path. 

The work matters because the people matter.

What is something someone said to you recently that stayed with you?

#HonestConversations #Connections #Leadership #Impact

It is raining here today and honestly… it matches my brain.
When it rains it pours and I am all up in my head about balance.

We have our very first Jedno workshop next week and I am so excited about it. 

It is free, it is useful, and it is built to help people avoid the funding mistakes we see all the time. And did I say it's our FIRST!?!?! Eeekk!!

And yet here I am trying to walk that fine line between sharing something exciting for us and not turning my feed into a parade of promotions.

People do not come to LinkedIn to be sold to.

They come for connection and insight and a little bit of humanity.

So here is the balance I am trying to hold today.
I want to share what we are building because I know it will help people.
I also want to respect the space and the people in it.

If you are in the world of government funding or know someone who is, the workshop is there for you next week. Link in first comment (hope to see you there).

If not, I hope you still see me as someone who shows up with intention, not noise.

Maybe that is the real balance.

Leading with value first and letting people decide what they need.

What helps you stay centered when everything starts to pour at once?

#Leadership #FromFriendsToFounders #GovernmentFunding #SocialImpact

If your feed is full of budget reactions and you’re thinking about scrolling past, I get it.

But here’s why it might be worth a closer look (at the document itself, not my post lol).

This year’s federal budget puts most of its weight behind a few big focus areas. 

Nearly 80 percent of the investments are directed toward two priorities: protecting Canada’s long-term economic and national strength, and reducing costs for Canadians.

The biggest areas of investment are housing, infrastructure, artificial intelligence and innovation capacity, national defence and cybersecurity, and support for businesses looking to scale or stay competitive.

There’s also a shift in how the government plans to spend overall: less on day-to-day operations, more on long-term projects it believes will shape Canada’s future economy.

What’s quieter this year are broader investments in education systems, immigration supports, nonprofit capacity, or community development — except for some targeted programs like youth employment and support for personal support workers in health care.

So while you don’t need to read every page of the 300-plus page document, it’s worth spending a few minutes looking up the areas that matter to you. 

Budgets don’t just reflect spending — they reflect priorities. And those priorities affect where opportunities flow next.

Launching something new always comes with a mix of excitement and nerves.

And this week has reminded me why I care so deeply about this work.

Over the years I have watched incredible organizations pour their hearts into proposals only to hear no.

Not because their ideas were weak.

Not because their mission lacked value.

But because the application itself got in the way.

So for our very first free workshop at Jedno, we chose to tackle this head on.

Three Proposal Mistakes That Make Funders Say No

This is a live session for leaders who want more clarity, stronger positioning and a better understanding of what funders actually look for.

If you work in a nonprofit or start up organization and you're trying to be more successful with funding, this session will absolutely support you.

It is practical.

It is accessible.

And it comes from years of reviewing, writing and winning proposals across sectors.

You can grab your spot here:

I am really looking forward to this one. It is going to be a powerful conversation and I hope to see you there.

Crack the Funding Code: 3 Proposal Mistakes That Keep You From Winning Big

I love a good audience engagement moment, don't you? 

During a recent presentation, the facilitator asked a simple question:

“When you hear the word performance, what’s the first word that comes to mind?”

The answers filled the screen in a word cloud: results, excellence, consistency, mindset, success, talent, grit.

What struck me most was how few of the responses were about people.

So much of how we measure performance focuses on outcomes and efficiency, not the human side that makes those results possible.

Performance is more than metrics.

It’s Connection. 
Clarity. 
Consistency. 
Care.
(I'll stop here cause I can't think of any more C's 😂 )

It’s how people feel supported enough to keep showing up and growing.

If you asked your team this question, what word would you hope to see appear?

I’d love to hear yours.

Yesterday I saw so many posts about gratitude. And I LOVED READING EVERY ONE OF THEM!!!

But It also reminded me that thankfulness does not need a date on the calendar. 

It is a practice. Something we can choose every day.

Today I am thankful for amazing friends who always show up, a business that is finding its rhythm, and a cofounder who is just as inspired to make a difference with the work we do. (And tissues, I'm so thankful to the inventor of tissues)

Gratitude changes everything. 

It turns the everyday into evidence that we are moving in the right direction.

What are you thankful for today?

The Canadian War Museum invites you to learn more about Canada’s military history during Remembrance Week.

Co-founder @ Novorésumé 👉🏻 need a free resume? Visit novoresume.com ✅

1,000+ applications. Zero callbacks. Then I discovered the hidden pattern behind resume rejections.

Most job seekers think they're competing on experience. They're not.

After submitting over 1,000 resumes as a Romanian student in Denmark and getting nowhere, I uncovered something recruiters don't tell you: 94% of hiring decisions happen in the first 6 seconds. Your qualifications never even get read.

So Stefan, Cristian and I built Novorésumé to solve the real problem.

Here's what we found after analyzing 22+ million resumes:
The difference between rejected and hired candidates isn't their background, it's visual hierarchy, ATS optimization, and psychological triggers that make recruiters pause instead of scroll.

Our users don't just get more interviews. They get them faster:
→ Courtney: "My rate going from HR screens to hiring manager calls improved from 5% to 75%"
→ Mariam: "Landed interviews with TikTok, Tableau and Google despite lacking tech experience"
→ 70.9% of our users find success within 6 months
→ 52.1% see results in under 3 months

As CMO & Co-Founder, I've reverse-engineered what actually works:
While competitors focus on "pretty templates," we study recruiter eye-tracking data. Each design element is positioned based on where hiring managers look first, what makes them keep reading, and how ATS systems actually parse information.

The result? Our templates don't just look professional, they're built on the psychology of persuasion and the mechanics of modern hiring.

The companies hiring our users tell the story: Amazon, Google, Tesla, UN, Spotify, Volvo, NVIDIA.

If you're tired of wondering why your resume disappears into the void, maybe it's time to understand what's actually happening on the other side of that submit button.

78% of job seekers are drowning in a 20-week job search.

Meanwhile, I watched someone land 3 offers in 5 weeks using AI.

The difference? 7 ChatGPT prompts that actually work.

The brutal truth about job searching in 2025:
• Average search: 20+ weeks
• Applications needed: 200+
• Response rate: 3-5%
• Job seekers overwhelmed: 78%

After helping 16M+ job seekers, I've seen what separates the 5-week winners from the 20-week strugglers.

It's not about working harder. It's about working smarter with AI.

What most people do with ChatGPT:
❌ "Write me a cover letter"
❌ "Help with my resume"
❌ Generic prompts that produce generic results
❌ Wonder why nothing changes

What actually moves the needle:
✅ Hyper-specific prompts for each stage
✅ ATS optimization built into every application
✅ Company research that makes you sound like an insider
✅ Network messages that actually get responses

The 7 prompts that cut search time by 75%:
1. Resume optimization for EVERY application
2. Company research that preps you like an insider
3. Network outreach that gets 80% response rates
4. Interview prep predicting exact questions
5. Salary negotiation backed by data
6. Application tracking that shows what works
7. Follow-up sequences that keep you top of mind

Real example: Sarah, marketing manager. 12 weeks into her search, 150 applications, 4 callbacks. Started using these prompts. Week 13: 8 interviews scheduled. Week 17: 3 offers.

The uncomfortable truth:

While you're sending application #201 with the same generic resume, someone else just used AI to tailor theirs in 3 minutes and jumped ahead of you.

Your competition isn't smarter.
They're just using better tools.

Stop drowning in the 20-week average.
Start swimming with the 5-week winners.

Which part of your job search feels most overwhelming right now? 💪

Best ChatGPT Prompts for Job Seekers

Your job is not an asset.

It can be taken from you tomorrow.

But there are 6 things no market crash, no layoff, no economic downturn can ever touch.

I wrote them down as a reminder to myself. ↓

I spent 2 years trying 47 productivity systems.

GTD. Pomodoro. Time blocking. Bullet journals. 4am wake-ups.

46 failed. Here's why the 47th actually stuck:

It wasn't about managing time.
It was about managing energy.

The uncomfortable truth about productivity advice:

Most systems assume you're a robot with consistent output. But after helping 16M+ job seekers optimize their careers, I've watched brilliant people burn out following "perfect" systems.

What killed systems 1-46:
❌ GTD's endless weekly reviews (exhausting)
❌ Time blocking when life isn't predictable
❌ 15 different task apps fighting for attention
❌ Pomodoro timers creating anxiety instead of focus
❌ 4am wake-ups lasting exactly 5 days

The pattern? Every system fought human nature instead of working with it.

System #47: Energy-based scheduling

Simple principle: Match tasks to energy levels, not time slots.

High energy → Deep work, creative tasks
Medium energy → Meetings, admin
Low energy → Email, routine tasks

No complicated reviews. No perfect morning routines. No fighting your natural rhythm.

Real example: I write best at 10am, not 5am. Fighting that for 2 years made me less productive, not more.

The shift that changed everything:
→ Stop managing time, manage energy
→ 3 energy levels beats 47 complex systems
→ Consistency beats complexity
→ Working WITH your nature beats fighting it

After 2 years and 47 attempts, here's what I learned:

The best system isn't the one with the most features.
It's the one you'll actually use.

Your productivity isn't broken.
Your system probably is.

Which failed productivity system are you still forcing yourself to use? 👇

Best Productivity System

I made a resume for Charles Leclerc. 🏎️

Not because he asked. But because I am a fan and watching this Ferrari season, I figured someone should.

Here's what surprised me:

-> When I actually sat down to translate his skills into corporate language, I realized he'd crush it in any boardroom.

-> "Team Orders Compliance (reluctant but professional)" → Executing leadership decisions you disagree with while maintaining professionalism.

-> "Patience Management" → 7 years at Ferrari waiting for a winning car. That's startup energy.

-> "Resilience in the Face of Repeated Disappointment" → That's not even a skill anymore. That's just corporate life.

But the real insight?
His side projects.

→ Ice cream brand with GROM founders 
→ Piano EP that hit #2 on Billboard Classical 
→ Massive Twitch following built during COVID 
→ Just launched his own clothing line
All while driving for Ferrari.

He didn't wait until he needed a backup plan. He built these at the top of his game.

That's the move. You diversify when things are good, not when you're desperate.

Just got laid off? Your brain is screaming "APPLY TO 500 JOBS NOW!"

STOP. That panic will destroy your comeback.

After helping 16M+ job seekers land roles, here's what actually works:

What everyone does wrong Hour 1:
❌ Sign documents immediately (they're negotiable)
❌ Panic-apply to random jobs
❌ Badmouth the company on LinkedIn
❌ Make financial decisions in shock
❌ Hide from your network

What smart people do Week 1:
✅ File unemployment Day 1 (processing takes weeks)
✅ Screenshot ALL work samples before losing access
✅ Negotiate severance (yes, even the "final" offer)
✅ Join layoff support groups
✅ Tell your network - vulnerability creates opportunities

The money moves that save you:
→ COBRA costs 3X marketplace insurance (check both)
→ Roll 401k to IRA immediately (avoid penalties)
→ Calculate runway: savings ÷ monthly burn = months left
→ Negotiate EVERY bill (I've seen 40% reductions)
→ Cancel subscriptions ruthlessly

The LinkedIn transformation:
• Add "Open to Work" banner → 2X recruiter views
• Post your layoff story → connections want to help
• List skills, not just titles → algorithms love keywords
• Get 10+ recommendations NOW → social proof matters

Here's the brutal truth about job hunting:

70% of jobs never get posted publicly. While you're refreshing Indeed, someone's getting hired through a warm intro.

The hidden market strategy:
→ Coffee chats > 100 applications
→ Alumni networks > job boards
→ "Can I pick your brain?" > "Are you hiring?"
→ Informational interviews > formal interviews

Interview prep after layoffs:
Never: "I was let go" (sounds passive)
Always: "The company restructured" (neutral fact)
Then pivot immediately to YOUR value and achievements.

The mindset shift that changes everything:

20.2 million Americans faced layoffs in 2024. Fortune 500 CEOs get laid off. The best performers get caught in cuts.

You're not a failure. You're experienced talent in transition.

Your comeback starts with your resume. Generic templates get 5% callbacks. Optimized ones get 75%.

That's 15X more interviews with the same experience.

Ready to turn this setback into your comeback?

Follow me for templates and strategies that are landing jobs right now.

What was your first move after a layoff? 💪

Your personal brand is worth $1M+. But 99% of professionals are invisible online.

The brutal truth? Being good at your job isn't enough anymore.

What most people think personal branding means:
❌ Posting selfies with motivational quotes
❌ Becoming a "thought leader" overnight
❌ Faking expertise you don't have
❌ Copying Gary Vee's style

What it actually means:
✅ Being discoverable when opportunities look for you
✅ Proving competence before the interview starts
✅ Building trust at scale
✅ Controlling your professional narrative

After helping 16M+ job seekers land roles, here's what separates the invisible from the inevitable:

The 80/20 rule of online presence:
• 80% lurk → 0% get discovered
• 15% post randomly → 5% get noticed
• 5% post strategically → 95% of opportunities

Real example: Sarah, marketing manager, zero online presence. Started sharing weekly campaign breakdowns. 6 months later? Three Fortune 500 recruiters in her DMs.

The hidden cost of being invisible:
→ Recruiters can't find you (they search LinkedIn, not your resume folder)
→ Your expertise dies in closed Slack channels
→ Someone less qualified but more visible gets YOUR promotion
→ You're competing on paper instead of reputation

What actually builds a $1M personal brand:
• Document, don't create (share what you're already doing)
• Solve one problem really well, publicly
• Show the messy middle, not just wins
• Engage with others' content before expecting engagement
• Be consistent for 90 days before judging results

The uncomfortable truth: Your competition isn't more talented. They're just more visible.

While you perfect your work in private, they're building reputation in public.

Your choice: Stay invisible and hope someone notices. Or start building the brand that makes you impossible to ignore.

What's stopping you from sharing your expertise online? 🚀

Harvard just dropped a bomb: AI killed 22% of entry-level jobs.

Not in 10 years. Already happened.

285,000 companies tracked. The cliff? January 2023. Exactly when ChatGPT went mainstream.

The brutal truth nobody wants to admit:

Companies didn't fire juniors. They just stopped hiring them.

After helping 16M+ job seekers navigate this mess, here's what the data actually shows:

The damage since ChatGPT:
• 7.7% total decline in junior employment
• 3.7 fewer entry-level hires per quarter
• Senior employment? UP 0.8%
• 10,599 companies adopted AI

Who got destroyed:
❌ Retail/Wholesale: -40%
❌ Professional Services: -25%
❌ Finance: -20%
❌ Tech: -18%
✅ Healthcare: -10% (barely touched)

The plot twist that changes everything:

Ivy League grads: Down 5%
Mid-tier universities: Down 8%
Community colleges: Down 1%

The middle class of education got crushed while the extremes survived.

Hidden opportunity most are missing:

Junior promotions INCREASED 20%.

Read that again.

While external hiring dropped 22%, internal promotions jumped 20%. The only way in might be already being in.

What AI can't replace (target these):
→ Physical presence roles
→ High-stakes decisions
→ Complex human interaction
→ Creative problem-solving
→ Emotional intelligence

The uncomfortable truth: 96.3% of companies haven't adopted AI yet.

You're not competing against robots. You're competing against the 3.7% of companies that think they don't need humans anymore.

Contract-to-hire is the new entry-level.
Healthcare and education least affected.
Non-tech hubs still hiring normally.

Stop applying to the 3.7%.
Start targeting the 96.3%.

Which industry do you think will resist AI longest? 🤖

AI & Entry Level Jobs

$65,000 is the new death zone for careers.

Too expensive to ignore. Too cheap to protect.

Harvard tracked 62 million workers. The finding that broke my brain:

Elite grads: -5% job decline
Community college: -1% decline
Mid-tier grads: -8% decline

Wait. What?

The brutal truth nobody wants to admit:

AI doesn't target the top or bottom. It hunts the middle.

After helping 16M+ job seekers navigate this mess, here's why you're screwed if you make $60-70k:

Why elite grads survive:
✅ Too expensive to replace carelessly
✅ Network effects matter
✅ Prestige protects them
✅ Complex problem-solving training

Why community grads survive:
✅ Too cheap to bother automating
✅ Hands-on roles AI can't touch
✅ Already cost-optimized
✅ Not worth the investment

Why mid-tier grads are doomed:
❌ Expensive enough to matter
❌ Doing automatable knowledge work
❌ No prestige protection
❌ Perfect ROI for replacement

You're literally in the automation sweet spot.

The salary breakdown that explains everything:
• Elite schools: $86k average
• Strong schools: $71k average
• Solid schools: $64k average
• Lower-tier: $60k average
• Community: $52k average

See it? The $60-70k zone is where AI feeds.

Industries eating mid-tier grads alive:
→ Marketing agencies (junior strategists)
→ Accounting firms (basic analysis)
→ Consulting (entry analysts)
→ Tech (support roles)
→ Finance (back office)

The "good but not great" jobs are vanishing.

Your survival playbook if you're mid-tier:
• Specialize aggressively (become top 10%)
• Go senior faster (promotions up 20%)
• Target elite company programs
• Build rare skill combinations
• Consider geographic arbitrage

Move up or move out. There's no middle anymore.

The uncomfortable truth: Your degree doesn't protect you. Your salary range targets you.

Stop competing in the death zone.
Start escaping it.

Which salary range feels most vulnerable in your industry? 💭

Why AI targets Mid-Tier Graduates

"Hustle culture" daily routine:

→ wake up at 4am to post about waking up at 4am
→ drink 6 coffees and call it productivity
→ skip lunch because "successful people don't eat"
→ guilt yourself for taking breaks
→ work 16 hours on things that don't matter
→ brag about not seeing your family
→ post motivational quotes instead of doing the work
→ crash on weekends from exhaustion
→ wonder why nothing's actually moving forward

Palantir Technologies just offered 18-year-olds $65K to skip college entirely.

22 teenagers said yes. Universities are panicking.

The brutal truth? These kids are outperforming MBA hires at a $100B defense tech company.

What Palantir discovered that changes everything:
• 18-year-olds coding better than CS grads
• Zero debt vs $37K average
• Working at 19 vs starting at 22
• Real production code vs theoretical knowledge

After helping 16M+ job seekers navigate careers, I've seen the pattern: The most successful people don't follow traditional paths.

What universities tell you matters:
❌ Perfect SAT scores
❌ 4 years of prerequisites  
❌ AP classes and credentials
❌ $37K in student debt

What actually moves the needle:
✅ Shipping real code
✅ High agency mindset
✅ Building things that work
✅ Maturity beyond years

The Palantir fellowship breakdown:
→ 500+ applied, 22 accepted
→ $5,400/month during training
→ Full-time role after 5 months
→ Philosophy debates AND production code
→ Field trips to Gettysburg (yes, really)

Real kicker: York (Head of Talent) found fellows with coding skills BETTER than post-undergraduate hires. 

No degree. Better skills. Think about that.

CEO Alex Karp's take: "Every single system is parasitic. Our job is to break that."

Translation: While universities debate curriculum, we're hiring teenagers who can actually build.

The uncomfortable truth:

Your competition isn't more educated.
They're just younger, hungrier, and debt-free.

Traditional path: 4 years → $37K debt → 40% underemployed
Palantir path: 5 months → $0 debt → $85K+ at 19

The college industrial complex wants you on their timeline.
Smart companies want you on results.

"How would you reduce pit stop time by 0.1 seconds?"

90% of candidates just failed the F1 interview.

Their answer: "I'd work faster."

The brutal truth about F1 interviews? They're designed to eliminate, not include.

After helping 16M+ job seekers land roles, I've seen brilliant engineers crash and burn in technical interviews. Not because they lack skills. Because they give vague answers when recruiters want evidence, stories, and numbers.

What kills 90% of F1 candidates:
❌ "I'm a hard worker"
❌ "I love racing"
❌ "I'm good under pressure"
❌ Generic answers that could apply to any job

What actually lands F1 roles:
✅ "I analyzed suspension data and reduced weight by 15%"
✅ "Coordinated a 5-person team to fix failure in 90 minutes"
✅ "Cut miscommunication delays by 30% across 4 time zones"
✅ Specific stories with measurable impact

Real example from the carousel:
Q: "Tell me about working under pressure"
Bad: "I'm a good team player"
Good: "During Formula Student, we had electronics failure before finals. I coordinated mechanics and data engineers, fixed it in 40 minutes, placed top 5."

The difference? Evidence. Numbers. Results.

The STAR method isn't just advice. It's survival:
• Situation: Set the scene with specifics
• Task: Your actual responsibility
• Action: Exactly what YOU did
• Result: Quantified impact

Pro moves that separate winners from dreamers:
→ Bring CAD designs, dashboards, project portfolios
→ Ask about their 2026 technical challenges
→ Follow up within 24 hours with portfolio links

Your passion for F1 means nothing if you can't prove competence.

Stop saying you love racing.
Start showing you deliver results.

Hardest F1 Job Interview Questions

Your career isn't broken. The system is working perfectly.

The brutal truth after helping 16M+ job seekers:

Every rejection is just feedback in disguise. Most people see error messages as failures. Winners see them as free diagnostics.

Resume getting ignored?
→ Missing keywords recruiters search for
→ ATS can't parse your formatting
→ Your achievements lack numbers

Applying to wrong roles?
→ Chasing titles, not skills match
→ Ignoring company culture fit
→ Following prestige over growth

Presentation outdated?
→ LinkedIn profile from 2019
→ Portfolio showing old work
→ Interview stories getting stale

The uncomfortable truth: Your dream job doesn't exist until you build the skills to deserve it.

I've watched people refresh job boards for months waiting for the "perfect" role. Meanwhile, others are creating opportunities by fixing their fundamentals.

The real error codes that matter:
• ERROR 301: Permanently redirected (to a better path)
• ERROR 200: Success (after 50 applications)
• ERROR 503: Service unavailable (taking a break to upskill)

Stop debugging the job market.
Start debugging yourself.

The system isn't giving you errors. It's giving you answers.

What feedback is your job search giving you right now? 💪

Most bucket lists collect dust.

This one gets checked off.

The brutal truth about career wins: They happen one milestone at a time.

That recruiter notice you've been waiting for? It starts with the right keywords on your profile.

That salary negotiation you're dreading? It begins with knowing your market value.

That moment your parents finally understand your career path? It comes after proving your choices were right.

The difference between dreamers and achievers:

→ Dreamers wait for perfect timing
→ Achievers create momentum with small wins
→ Dreamers see the whole mountain
→ Achievers focus on the next step

Every career breakthrough started with someone exactly where you are now.

Time to pick your next milestone.

The #1 reason recruiters skip your profile? You turned your LinkedIn into a boring resume clone. 

And the #1 reason ATS rejects you? Your resume reads like a LinkedIn story.)

Resume vs LinkedIn

Quick test: Name the last book that actually changed your behavior...

most people can't.

That's why they stay stuck despite reading 50 books a year. 

Here's what people think learning is:
❌ Reading endless articles and books
❌ Taking course after course
❌ Collecting certificates and degrees
❌ Highlighting everything important

Here's what actual learning looks like:
✅ Applying knowledge immediately
✅ Making mistakes and iterating
✅ Teaching others what you know
✅ Questioning what you think you know
✅ Unlearning outdated beliefs

The difference between information and transformation:
→ Information collectors: Know a lot, do little, stay the same
→ Knowledge appliers: Learn less, do more, transform faster

Real learning is messy:
• Struggling through confusion before clarity
• Practicing until it's automatic
• Learning from failures, not just successes
• Connecting dots across different fields
• Simplifying complex concepts for others

The 80/20 of learning:
→ 20% consuming content
→ 80% applying, experimenting, teaching

Most people have it backwards.
They spend 80% consuming and 20% doing.
Then wonder why nothing changes.

Two types of learners:
→ Collectors: "I've read 100 business books"
→ Practitioners: "I've failed at 10 businesses and learned from each"

The fastest way to learn anything:
1/ Learn just enough to take action
2/ Take action immediately
3/ Reflect on what worked/didn't
4/ Adjust and repeat

Stop learning to know more.
Start learning to become more.

What's one thing you've "learned" multiple times but never actually applied?

Couldn't agree more with this perspective Patrick! 💯

As a bootstrapped company that's helped 16M+ users globally, we know the importance of doing more with less. But 'scrappy' shouldn't mean 'sloppy' when it comes to content.

Working with CoHo has allowed us to maintain consistent, high-quality content output without building an entire in-house studio. The specialist approach means every piece hits the mark...from our F1 career content to our resume tips.

Quality content at scale isn't about having more people, it's about having the RIGHT people 🚀

Helping Danish scaleups make consistent, quality content - without the chaos. 200+ brands grown | 150M+ DKK driven | 10M+ DKK saved | Join the next wave 👇🏼

MOST big brands think 'in-house' means control. 

But in reality, it often means chaos 😅

Lemme prove this: 

When content demand explodes, everyone becomes something they’re not.

- The designer becomes an editor. 
- The social manager becomes a producer. 
- The video guy becomes… everything.

And suddenly you’ve got a team of generalists tryna keep up, instead of consistent content that actually builds brand.

Here's the irony: 

You don’t need more hands.

You need sharper ones (and ideally a system that's scalable).

But it takes huge investment to make that shift as a scaleup 🙃

So then you're left with a team in the scrappy middle, forever chasing the perfect content setup. 

That’s why I built CoHo model the way we did - a full specialist system on tap: 

videographers, photographers, editors, designers, strategists, studios - all accessible for a flat annual fee.

No hidden costs.
And no context switching. 

Just consistent creative output at scale 🥔

I honestly don't think scaling content is about 'hiring faster'. 

I think it comes down to removing the friction that slows great teams down.

Curious how our model actually works?
