About this Session

Sometimes, a strategy is needed to accomplish a future career change, or simply to get further in your current position. Should you go back to school? Look for a new job? Learn a new set of skills by yourself? Become a freelancer?

One of our mentors could be the outside view you need. They understand the challenges that come with a career change, and are happy to help you come up with a solid strategy on how to reach your goals.

As I describe on my profile, I have a 25-year career, but I only managed to get it onto a successful path about 10 years ago. Prior to that, it's been a lot of mistakes, pinballing around, and stall-outs.

I didn't have a career plan, and I really should've had one.

So, I have a lot of empathy for people who are either just starting their career, or ended up in a dead-end.

Making lots of mistakes is insufficient for being a good mentor. One also needs to have corrected their mistakes. I am fortunate in that I was able to get my shit together, correct my mistakes, and I now hold an executive position at a great company. I know how to correct mistakes.

Making lots of mistakes on one's career, and fixing them, is still insufficient for being a good mentor. One has to have practice advising other people, and receiving feedback on their advice. Luckily, in my capacity as Manager, Director and VP, I have advised dozens of people on their career progression, and have witnessed the outcomes: promotions, exciting opportunities, and amazing jobs.

I hope to do the same for you, and I am looking forward to us working together.

Over the past 6+ months Yuri has helped me transition from a solo dev to the CTO of a small start-up.Yuri has the rare combination of connecting the technical aspects with the business's needs and the stakeholders' psychological needs. Beyond just getting the code written, Yuri is good at getting higher-level results.What Yuri is also great at is listening and understanding what my situation is, and then using his experience to pattern match of what distinctions I need to make that I'm not making to overcome the situation.And whenever I am stuck with a technical architecture question, Yuri is great at asking the right questions and then simplifying down whatever design I started with into something better.Super versatile.

I highly recommend Yuri as a mentor for anyone who seeking guidance in setting and achieving their goals while maintaining a structured schedule. Yuri has been instrumental in assisting me with defining clear objectives and developing actionable plans to reach them. Yuri not only provides valuable insights and advice but also ensures accountability by regularly checking in to monitor progress and offer support. With Yuri guidance, I have been able to stay focused, motivated, and on track to accomplish my goals. Yuri dedication to my success and willingness to provide guidance and encouragement make Yuri an invaluable mentor.

Yuri is the best engineering mentor you could have. That sums up my experience. When I first had my session with him, I was truly lost in my 3-year-old engineering career. The very first day was an eye-opener, and the next few sessions enabled me to throttle forward toward purpose and clarity. I would like to thank Yuri for being authentic, to the point and having an insatiable flair to help those seeking help.
