Aditya Sharma — Co-Founder
I came to the US in 2014 for a master's degree at Duke University. Post-graduation, I was fortunate to start my career as a Tech Consultant at PwC and then with Deloitte in San Francisco. However, I always wanted to utilize my tech skills to start my own business. In 2020, I decided to leave my job and launched HiCounselor in San Francisco. The decision wasn't easy as I had many open questions, concerns about immigration, and fear of failure. Fortunately, the decision turned out to be the right one. ✅ Generated millions in revenue ✅ Raised VC funds from top investors in Silicon Valley ✅ Employ more than 40 people in the US, Canada, and India. 👉 These four years have taught me a lot about starting a company as an immigrant in the US, and I want to share this journey with every technical professional who wants to make side income or become a full-time entrepreneur. ✉️ Join my newsletter (https://lnkd.in/gPBziwZ3), where I share weekly actionable tips. 👉 If you are not ready to leave your full-time job at this time, that's okay. You can join hicounselor.com/mentor and make a side income by sharing your technical expertise. If you need any help, feel free to message me or comment on my posts. I will respond as soon as possible.
