How My Student Got A $100k Remote Offer In 3 Weeks - Pedro Case Study
@Pedro Sousa is self-taught. Two months unemployed. Crippling imposter syndrome. He could build entire apps from scratch, but didn't feel "good enough" for US companies. Three weeks later? He passed ALL 3 interview processes and landed a $94K remote US job + 2 weeks PTO. Here's what changed everything 👇 Pedro was stuck in the worst kind of loop. He had the skills but was applying without strategy. He questioned if he was "too old" to break into tech. Every rejection reinforced the doubt. The turning point wasn't learning more frameworks or grinding LeetCode. It was personalized mentorship that focused on simple fundamentals. With guidance from me and my technical mentor Ivan, the first 10 minutes of Pedro's interviews completely transformed. Interviewers stopped testing him and started getting to know him. His confidence shifted from hoping he'd make it to knowing exactly what to do. Pedro said something that hit me: "Knowing the path is not walking the path. Even if you gave me a course instead of the calls... it doesn't work the same. Having a mentor makes such a big difference." That's exactly what I experienced myself in the beginning of my career. The fastest path to get where you want is talking to a person that's been through it all and can just give you direction. 3 interview processes. 3 weeks. Passed every single one. ✅ Want to see exactly what Pedro did differently? I sat down with him to break down his entire journey - the mindset shifts, the preparation strategies, and the specific changes that made interviewers lean in instead of test him.
