Introductory Call with Orcun

At the 6-month milestone of my software engineering mentorship with Orcun, I'm excited to share my experiences. Orcun's lightning-fast responses to chat queries have been a game-changer. The exercises provided have been incredibly valuable, and every session has added significant depth to my skill set. Thanks to Orcun's guidance, I've acquired a robust set of problem-solving tools, simplifying even the most complex issues. Orcun's explanations and problem-solving methods have shattered my previous, overly complicated approach. I've witnessed substantial growth in my skills, preparing me for my ultimate goal of entering a leading tech company. Notably, my progress, though at a medium level, has attracted the interest of several recruiters. I'm eager to continue on this journey towards "big tech" under Orcun's mentorship. His ability to decode even the most "Martian" explanations has made this journey incredibly comfortable and fruitful. As I approach the 6-month mark, I'm excited about the future growth and accomplishments that Orcun's mentorship will undoubtedly bring. Thank you, Orcun, for your exceptional guidance!

Orcun is an exceptionally helpful and skilled mentor, demonstrating thoughtfulness in his approach. He is notably proactive in identifying key topics for discussion, which greatly enhances the mentoring experience. I highly recommend him!

Really helpful advice even though this was just a single 45 min session: "Design a career strategy". I got more out of this meeting that I expected! I'm currently at staff level. We looked at my CV and discussed a few potential paths forward, with some good insights and info I didn't realize before. Also: Think about what matters to me most in terms of jobs and life - a few dimensions to consider. Orcun is a good listener, easy to talk to and has a lot of knowledge about the industry.
