Another offer secured: SVP of Cloud at a mid-sized FinTech firm. Base Pay: $400K+, Total Comp: $1M+
A builder whose ambition ran out of room
This client came to us after having spent the last year and a half building an AI data platform from scratch. He wasn't calling because he'd been laid off or because he hated his job. He had genuinely enjoyed his work and had a knack for building things, not maintaining them.
We notice this inflection point in all the top performers we work with. You spend years creating something, and then your ambition just runs out of room. That’s when you start thinking about other options.
"Get me in front of hiring managers"
He hadn’t started looking yet, and he came across our service while scrolling through social media, just like you are right now. In our first interaction, his only ask was: “Get me in front of hiring managers”, and so we did.
A few months later, he'd had conversations with companies like Databricks, Docker, AMD, HP, Postman, UKG, American Express, and a long list of others. 25 VP+ interviews in total.
He went with the SVP offer since they were just getting started with a HUGE cloud-native data platform which would keep his ambition engaged for a very long time.
If you’re also a builder who feels stuck in maintenance mode, book a call with us and you might be going to a different office by the end of summer break.
