the two of us, in your corner

Work With Us, One on One

The rooms are good for perspective. Sometimes you want two people who know your situation by name, looking at your actual resume, your actual search, your actual offer.

✻ Five sessions for $500 · or one hour for $150

every version starts with a free 20 minutes

HOW WE WORK

01 A free 20 minutes. You tell us what has you stuck and where you want to start. Everything after this gets built around your answer.
02 Your action plan. We write it up and split the work between us based on who is better suited to each piece.
03 Your edits. Change anything in it. Then we start.
04 Your timeline. Once a week works best for most people. Every other week works too. Spread them out if your bandwidth is thin.

Between sessions you have us on email and WhatsApp, plus worksheets for whatever you're working on. The calls are the anchor, not the whole thing.

✻ THE ONE-OFF 60 MIN · $150

One hour, one problem, both of us.

for the thing in front of you

For when there's a single thing on your desk. An offer to counter by Friday. An interview on Thursday. A resume you keep rewriting and keep hating. You get both of us on the call, which is unusual for an hour and useful when the stakes are near.

what we cover

The Birdie topics, pointed at your life.

Sessions go wherever you need them. Pick one lane or move through several.

The job search

Where searches stall and the fixes for each one.

Resume and LinkedIn

Translating past experience into the new role so a hiring manager gets it in three seconds.

Mock interviews

Real rounds and honest feedback on the stage where you keep getting stuck.

Outreach

Who to contact, what to write, and what gets answered.

Personal brand

The through-line in a career with detours, and how to say it out loud without flinching.

Negotiation

The number, the script, and the nerve to hold the pause.

The first 90 days

Starting strong in the new role instead of starting over in it.

WHO YOU'RE GETTING

Soumya
soumya

Soumya

MIT. 1,500 people coached through career transitions. Runs Happy Hustle full time.

Whatever your search is doing, she has seen your exact version of it, many times over, and she remembers what worked. She is the reason people leave a session with a plan for Monday instead of a feeling.

Kelsey
kelsey

Kelsey

Duke MBA. Chief of Staff at a venture-backed startup. Built a 1,000-member community and handed it off.

She has sat on the hiring side of the table, written the job descriptions, and read the pile. She knows what a hiring manager reads in the first three seconds and what they skip entirely.

One of us has coached the search a thousand times. One of us has been the person on the other side of it. You get both, and we hand you off to each other based on the work in front of you.

What this isn't

We don't write your resume for you. We make yours sharp enough to do the work.

We don't apply to jobs on your behalf. Your search stays yours, with better aim.

We don't promise you a job in four weeks. Nobody honest does.

Everyone who has worked with us and put in their share of the effort landed faster than the average timeline. The goal is you, equipped, for this search and the next several years of your career.

how it feels

✻ We push you, challenge you, and brainstorm with you.
✻ Some days we help you vent. Everyone needs it.
✻ We're in your corner the whole way, not only on the calls.
a free one, on us

Not sure what kind of company you're aiming at?

Ten questions that name the industry, the headcount and the ownership structure where you're likely to do your best work. It's the first twenty minutes of a session, minus the session. Free, and no email required.

Take the fit quiz

Start with 20 free minutes.

Tell us what has you stuck. If we're the right fit, we'll build you a plan. If it isn't the right time, or the commitment feels like a lot, say so. No hard feelings, and we'll point you at something else of ours instead.
