"Kersley was instrumental in getting me through a career crisis when I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and was in a job I hated. We talked extensively about what I wanted in my career in terms of enjoyment, salary, and attainability (in regards to my resume/skill set). He explained what the cyber security roles would entail on a day to day basis and even showed me visually what the work looks like through his equipment. There were also discussions of the qualifications needed to get to some of these roles and the room for growth available for them. Despite all of the experience he has, he talked to me like I was an equal and I felt heard in the way I needed and he always left our calls in a good place even if he needed to lengthen the meeting. He truly advised me on the best route to take based on everything I wanted in a career. If you have no idea what you want to do for your computing career and especially a cyber security career you wont regret being mentored by him! "

"Working with Turker has been a wonderful experience.

Turker not only provided insights from his own experience but also equipped me with practical tools to continuously refine my own skills and thinking. His mentorship goes beyond a one-time process and "do what I'd do" approach; it's about building a strong foundation for long-term growth, personalized to your situation. Turker's support has also empowered me to better understand and leverage my strengths, setting me up to be a more effective communicator and leader within my organization.

I very much recommend Turker as a mentor for anyone looking for support in making a meaningful impact in their career. Thanks, Turker!"

"Topline: working with him paid off - I got the job!! The details: Salem is a fantastic mentor both in terms of inspiring me and really making me believe that I could make the transition to product management after 6 months of getting nowhere. And he was exceptional at breaking down my experience and framing in a way that showcased my product experience and achievements and really changing the way that I spoke and even thought about my work. His feedback on my LinkedIn generated -no lie- at least 1-2 recruiters cold reaching out to me every single day for weeks. I had 11 interviews in a single week. Really top notch guy and really happy to be working with him. My one critique is that it was a bit challenging to hear back from him sometimes as life circumstances got in the way."

"Miles is a great guy however he was never able to do anything for me personally when it came to a resume review, interview prep, portfolio creation, any industry insight, and etc. I am very disappointed due to the fact that I got no tangible results after 1 month but at the very least he is a nice guy. If you already know your weaknesses and have a plan for him, he may be able to help you. Otherwise you are on your own due to him not having any kind of plan of syllabus to help his mentees which from my perspective, kind of defeats the purpose seeing how I'm looking for someone to help guide me and fix my issues, not maybe point out one or two issues with no details and no solution."
- Josh about Miles Hunter

- Anisa about Jake Sta Teresa
"This is my personal experience, yours maybe very different. I’ve had one call with her after which I felt that she is not really supportive of my idea, which could be great if she was open to exploring how it really works and then to find ways of working around other peoples disbelief and lack of trust, but I felt that she just didn’t want to put effort into it and wanted me to invent all the ways to convince her and general audience with just pointing to general instruments available online. She wasn’t disrespectful and was kind as a person, but I started feeling like my idea sucks. Which is not what I want to feel from being mentored. I want fire and being lit up after each session. Perhaps it’s just the mismatch of ideas and stages, but that’s how it worked with us."
