@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.

Here's the exact 3-step system I use in my coaching program: Step 1: Positioning (Generating Interviews) Forget job applications. That market is flooded with AI spam. Focus on LinkedIn instead: • Build your personal brand • Connect with recruiters, hiring managers and developers • Engage with quality content in your space • Build relationships through DMs, not just generic convos Your LinkedIn SSI score should be 50+. The average is 31. Mine is 80. Profile optimization takes 30 minutes. Do it today. Target KPI: 2-5 interviews per week. Step 2: Selling Yourself This is where you actually win the offer: • Preparation: Research the company, culture, and role. 15-30 minutes makes all the difference. • Pitching: Tailor your story to each company's needs. • Negotiations: This is your highest leverage point. $5K-$50K increases are realistic. Pro tip: use ranges, not single numbers. Target KPIs: 80%+ behavioral pass rate. Step 3: Technical Skills Master fundamentals first. Most engineers skip the basics. System design is essential for higher salaries. DSA is still required in the US, but it's overrated. Here's what most people miss: Engineers over-invest in technical prep and under-invest in positioning and sales. Target KPI: 50%+ technical-to-offer conversion. At 3.5 years of experience, I was earning more than my technical mentor with 10+ years. Why? I knew how to sell myself and find quality offers. The first two steps create the biggest income jumps. And you can improve them in weeks, not months. Your job search is a marketing and sales problem, not just a skills problem. Treat it like one. Want a more detailed explanation?

Hi my name is John, and I've been a front end developer for 8+ years now, mainly working in digital marketing agencies. I've been in Austin, TX for the last 5 years, and LA for the previous 4.5 years. I was laid off in October after 5 years at the company, and now I feel like I'm pretty cooked because I don't have a lot of the professional experience in modern technologies that are listed in these job postings like React, TypeScript, Node, etc. I have some professional experience in those, but not enough for a lot of these companies. I have one final round interview so far, and it was for a Shopify Full-Stack role, and I've had maybe 2 other non-recruiter interviews, too.
