DM "CAREER" to join my FREE Live Job Search Masterclass: Recession-Proof your Career (Sign up link in bio). I help ambitious women in Tech/Engineering quit underselling themselves and land $300k+ leadership roles in 90 days or less, without collecting more certifications, doing non-stop networking, or applying to 100s of jobs online. If you’re tired of being the go-to person without the title, pay, or respect to match, you’re in the right place. 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 👉 Senior woman in Tech/Engineering (Product, TPM, Engineering, Data, Strategy Ops, etc.) 👉 Already earning $200K+ but feeling underleveled, underpaid, or overlooked 👉 Ready for Manager, Sr Manager, or Director roles at top companies (US/Canada) 𝐌𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 In 2009, I packed my bags and landed in the US to pursue my big American dream. I did all the “right things” — the right schools, the hard work, the extra projects. I thought my path to success was guaranteed. Instead, I found myself stuck in a role for 4 years, being passed over for promotion by a junior male colleague. That's when I realized my big mistake: I was waiting to be noticed instead of learning to fearlessly market myself. This one skill, LITERALLY, changed my career and my life. I: → Earned 5 promotions in 10 years, leading projects with Board level visibility → Transitioned from the Energy to Tech, landing a leadership role at Amazon → Self-petitioned my EB1A, without a PhD or piles of publications → Built the largest women’s leadership program run across the federal Government → Started Pinkcareers, top career coaching company specializing in Women in Tech → Became a global speaker, executive coach, and podcast host Now I teach ambitious women the exact skills and systems I wish I had 10 years earlier. 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐃 (350+ 𝐖𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍) Inside my signature career and leadership coaching program, THE FEARLESS HIRE, my clients have: 👉 Moved from Senior IC to Director roles with 70–100% pay raises 👉 Landed $300K–$500K+ offers at Amazon, Meta, Apple, Amazon, eBay, and more 👉 Gone from feeling “I’m lucky to be here” to believing "any company is lucky to have me" 👉 Bounced back from layoffs into bigger roles with better boundaries 👉 Negotiated comp packages they once thought were “too much to ask for” My clients land $300k+ offers and, more importantly, build careers that actually feel aligned with who they are. Ready to take back control of your career and step into leadership roles? 👉 DM me “CAREER” to join my FREE Job Search Training: Recession Proof your Career
