David really helped clear up my doubts about which career path makes the most sense for a startup tech generalist like me. He asked the right questions, cut through the confusion, and mapped out a clear, practical roadmap to help me get ahead and reach my goals. I appreciated how streamlined and well-structured the plan was.
