I reached out to Alessandro after relocating from Switzerland to Boston, knowing that navigating the US job market would be a whole new challenge. He turned out to be exactly the support I needed. Alessandro helped me adapt my CV for the US market, pointed me to the right job platforms, ran mock technical interviews with me, and gave really valuable feedback on my take-home assignments. He was thorough, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to land a job offer and feel confident throughout the process. I'd highly recommend Alessandro to anyone!

I’m incredibly grateful to Alessandro for the mentorship and guidance he provided during my job search. Thanks to his support, I was able to land my dream job in the USA. Alessandro is an outstanding mentor, knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success. He has a deep understanding of how the tech job market and recruiting process really work, and his advice is both practical and strategic. From resume feedback to interview preparation and positioning my experience correctly, his suggestions made a real difference. What I appreciated most is how open and available he is to help. He takes the time to listen, gives honest feedback, and provides clear direction on what to improve. I’m truly thankful for his mentorship and would highly recommend him to anyone navigating the tech job market.
