Career Roadmap & Promotion Strategy with

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.

I’ve navigated multiple high-stakes career transitions myself, from international PhD student at UBC, to Google intern, to startup CTO and I’ve helped students and professionals make similar moves since 2020. I understand the AI/ML job landscape from both sides: as someone who has hired, evaluated candidates, and built teams, and as someone who has personally faced the uncertainty of choosing between academia, industry, and entrepreneurship. I’ll help you map a realistic, personalized path from where you are to where you want to be, with honest trade-offs, not generic advice.
