About this session
Career growth rarely happens by accident. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you build a clearer roadmap for where you want to go next and how to get there. Whether you are aiming for a promotion, preparing for a bigger role, or feeling stuck in your current position, this session helps you turn broad ambition into a practical career strategy.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to define your next step, identify the skills and signals that matter, and create a plan for making progress inside your current company or beyond it. Together, you can assess your strengths, spot gaps, map out promotion criteria, and think through how to build visibility, ownership, and momentum over time. The goal is to leave with more clarity, better direction, and a concrete plan to move your career forward with intention.
Your mentor
I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft with 8+ years of industry experience, working on building scalable, high-impact, enterprise-grade products within the Microsoft ecosystem. My work focuses on system design, backend engineering, and building reliable platforms at scale.
Over the past several years, I’ve conducted 200+ mock interviews and participated in 300+ real technical interviews as both a candidate and an interviewer. Alongside this, I’ve mentored engineers on mock interviews, resume reviews, job search strategy, interview preparation, and career growth planning.
My mentoring approach is practical, structured, and experience-driven—focused on real interview expectations, clear feedback, and actionable guidance to help engineers grow confidently and move toward senior-level roles.
