Hands-on support
👋 Hi! I’m Kuai, currently a Director of Engineering at a Fintech unicorn. With experience at Two Sigma, Google, and Citadel, I have a decade-long track record in tech and finance. I mentor both software engineers and managers, helping them navigate and succeed in their engineering careers.
My mentees have received offers from 30+ companies, including trading firms (Citadel, Jump Trading, HRT, Two Sigma, AQR), big tech (Google, Meta, Doordash, LinkedIn, Coinbase, Amazon), and startups (Glean, Databricks, Stripe).
5 out of 5 stars
I came into my session with Kuai thinking I knew what I wanted: a Director of Software Engineering role at a FAANG company within 3-4 years. I'm currently a Solutions Architect making significantly less than I did as a consultant, and I wanted to map out a path back to higher compensation. What I got was far more valuable than a simple roadmap. Kuai helped me understand the actual day-to-day realities of different roles and how they map to compensation bands. He was direct about what the interview process looks like now and what skills I'd need to demonstrate. He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear. The most valuable insight was around alternative paths I hadn't fully considered. When I described what actually excites me (high-level architecture, organizational design, strategic technical direction), Kuai helped me see which roles align with both my interests AND my compensation goals. That's a combination I didn't think was possible. He also gave me practical guidance on interview preparation and what 20 hours a week of dedicated practice could accomplish. No fluff, just actionable information. If you're feeling stuck between what you're passionate about and what pays well, Kuai can help you see options you might be missing. Highly recommend.
