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

Most people don't have a career strategy. They have a career reaction: applying to whatever looks good, hoping the next move lands better than the last one.

This session is about changing that.

I'm an Engineering Manager with 10+ years across startups and large tech companies. I've managed and grown engineers at every level, from junior hires to senior principal engineers, and I've been a hiring manager long enough to understand what the top 1% of candidates do differently. More importantly, I've mentored 100+ professionals through pivots, promotions, and big career decisions.

In this session, we'll build a clear, honest picture of where you are and a concrete plan for where you want to go:

Honest audit: What are your actual strengths, your blindspots, and your market value right now?
Goal clarity: Define what "success" looks like for you in 1, 3, and 5 years (most people have never done this properly)
Gap analysis: What skills, experience, or visibility are standing between you and the next level?
Action plan: Specific, prioritised steps you can start on immediately

This works whether you're a few years into your career and feeling directionless, a senior engineer considering the path to Staff or management, or someone planning a pivot into a new domain.

Sessions run 45 minutes via video call. The more honestly you show up, the better the output.

His guidance completely transformed my communication with my new manager, from mastering the "Bottom Line Up Front" approach to creating a "Manager Operating Manual" for clear expectations and zero surprises. He taught me to be more strategic with my network by mapping out key stakeholders and proactively focusing on how my team can contribute to their OKRs and solve their pain points. The practical tips, like setting up a "Yellow/Red Radar" for proactive problem-solving and leveraging new AI tools for personal productivity, have been game-changers for my daily effectiveness. If you are looking to accelerate your career by developing robust systems for managing up and stakeholder engagement, I cannot recommend Krunal highly enough.”

We have done few rounds of mock interviews and in every round he is able to pinpoint some of my weaknesses and provide good suggestions to improve them. The follow-up documents that he provides is also good for me to refer and revise. Definitely recommend 👍”
