This is your direct line to me. Career decision, CV, interview, salary, a technical wall, "should I take this offer" - post it here and I'll give you a straight answer. No question is too basic. To get the best help, give me the context: - Where you are now (role, level, location) - What you're trying to do - What you've already tried or what's blocking you I read everything in here, so don't sit on a question for weeks. Let's break it in: what's the one career or job-search thing you're stuck on right now? First one to post, I'll answer in full below 👇

This is where software engineers actually move - into senior roles, AI-engineering roles, better salaries, across the European market. No hype, no panic about AI, just the honest playbook from someone doing the job and coaching people through it. I'm Toyib - a practising engineer and career coach in Dublin, founder of SyncReel.io. I built SHIFT because dev-career advice online is either US-centric or all noise. This is the European, AI-native, no-nonsense version. Do these 3 things now (takes 5 minutes) 👇 1. Drop your intro below 👇 - your current role, the role you're targeting, and the #1 thing blocking you right now. 2. Try the AI Job-Search Prompt in the 🤖 AI Stack section - you can use it in the next 10 minutes. 3. Post one win this week in 🏆 Wins, however small. Applied for a role? Rewrote your CV? Shipped something with Claude? It counts. Two things worth knowing: - Ask me anything in 🧠 Ask / Coaching - I read everything. - The more you engage, the more you unlock. Levels aren't a gimmick here - the best resources (CV audit, salary-negotiation scripts, the full AI stack) open up as you climb. Now tell me in the comments: what role are you aiming for, and by when? 👇

Copy this, open Claude, and run it against one real job you'd actually apply for. Ten minutes, and you'll have an honest match score, a tailored CV, and your likely interview questions. You are a senior technical recruiter and career coach for the European tech market. Here's my CV: [paste your CV] Here's a role I'm targeting: [paste the job description] 1. Honestly, how well do I match this role - and what are my top 3 gaps? 2. Rewrite my CV summary and the 4-5 most relevant bullet points to map directly to this spec. Keep it truthful, cut the fluff, use the language from the description. 3. Give me the 5 interview questions I'm most likely to get for this exact role. Done it? Drop your before/after in the comments 👇 - what did it flag that surprised you? New to Claude? It's free to start at https://claude.ai

This is the most important room in SHIFT, so I'll go first. Win this week: I finished building this community and I'm opening the doors. Terrifying and exciting in equal measure. Your turn. Post a win here every week, however small - it all counts: - Applied for a role - Rewrote your CV with the AI prompt - Booked an interview - Shipped something with Claude - Said no to a role that wasn't right Why it matters: writing down your own progress keeps you moving, and seeing someone else land the thing you're chasing proves it's possible. That's the whole engine here. So - what's one win from the last 7 days? Doesn't matter how small. Drop it below 👇

This is the room you won't find anywhere else: the honest European tech-market picture. Real roles, real ranges in € and £, real company insight - not US numbers that don't map to Dublin, London, Berlin or Amsterdam. I'll be dropping roles and salary intel here regularly. But it works best as a two-way street. So tell me, so I can tailor what I post: - Which city or market are you targeting? (Dublin, London, remote-EU, elsewhere?) - What role and level? - Are you benchmarking a salary right now, or actively applying? Comment below 👇 - the more specific you are, the more useful I can make this section.
