5 out of 5 stars
I reached out to Basil to help fuide me to a lead or principal software role. Basil has a wealth of experience in multiple tech stacks. He performed multiple technical interviews. We were able to update my resume to reflect my leadership experience. We created a game plan and were able to execute it successfully. I have received an offer and should receive at least one more shortly. It was a good experience and helped me take positive steps forward as opposed to continuing to spin my wheels.
