I had a rather complex request, as I’m in a challenging situation: I need to change not only my profession but also transition from the service industry to the IT field. Alexey brought my attention to aspects of a potential career path that I hadn’t considered. His advice helped me gain a deeper understanding of my strengths and better identify which career opportunities align with my situation. We also had an insightful conversation about soft skills in German companies. Also our conversation helped me recognize the key indicators and advantages from my previous experience that I should highlight to present myself effectively. Alexey was very engaged in our discussion, genuinely eager to assist, and provided me with valuable links and resources.

I thoroughly enjoyed the mentoring session with Alexej. The insights I gained from his mentoring were not only professionally sound and reflective, given his product expertise, but also personally friendly and positive. It wasn't just about theoretical knowledge or analyzing things; he provided practical impulses and methods to systematically approach answers to the questions I currently have regarding building up a company. I can definitely recommend a mentoring session with Alexej!

I had questions about the strategy of applying to the companies and self-presentation during job interviews, as I am actively searching for a Product Manager position. During our mentoring session, Alexej, with his vast experience as a Product Lead, supported me during this challenging stage of career change, gave me feedback on my resume, and reflected on my doubts and thoughts. He was very attentive and polite. As a result of our session, I got ideas on how to improve my resume and approach interviews. Best of all, I feel more confident and prepared for tomorrow's (first!) interview. Thank you very much, Alexej!
