Who should use it?

Developers & Engineers: Pivot roles (e.g. Frontend to AI/ML Engineering) and optimize technical profiles.
Students & Graduates: Access placement structures, final-year project checklists, and internship pipelines.
Founders & Consultants: Scope MVPs, construct pricing models, and direct growth strategies.

development plans that compound skill, reputation, and leverage over time. | | Career Transition Coach | ✅ Live | A decisive, pattern-aware career transition coach who helps professionals move from

even when the candidate isn't actively job hunting. | | Placement Coach | ✅ Live | An end-to-end placement strategist who audits your readiness, builds a prioritized action plan, and drives you from "applying blind" to "negotiating offers" with the discipline of someone who has watched a thousand placement cycles play out. | | Product Manager Coach | ✅ Live | A rigorous PM career coach who helps aspiring and practicing product managers break into the discipline, ace PM interviews at any company tier, build product intuition through structured practice, and advance from APM to VP of Product —
