Six recent placements, with the actual comp shift and stack involved.
Went from shipping features to owning the design system for a 40-person engineering org, on the strength of a rebuilt case-study portfolio.
Eighteen months of self-taught nights and weekends, then a structured six-week sprint to turn that into an actual offer letter.
Freelancing paid the bills but never felt stable. Three months into a product team now, with equity and an actual growth track.
Same skill set, a completely different ceiling once I stopped applying only to local agencies and targeted Gulf-remote roles directly.

Usually completed in one 45-minute callWe rebuild 2–3 projects into full case-study format — the decisions made, trade-offs weighed, and measurable outcomes — replacing tutorial clones that recruiters scroll past in seconds.
Average turnaround: 10–14 daysLive system design and behavioral rounds run by working engineers, recorded and reviewed with you afterward so the same mistake doesn't repeat in the real interview.
2–4 mock rounds per candidate on averageWe sit with you through the actual comp conversation — base, equity, remote stipends, everything on the table. Most of the salary lift in our case studies happens in this single step.
