Example journey · New grads & junior engineers
New grad to first offer
For graduates who send many applications and hear little back.
- Starting point
- Computer science graduate with few replies
- Goal
- Software engineer in a first full-time role
- Typical length
- 6–10 weeks
The challenge
The resume reads like coursework, and thinking aloud in coding interviews is hard under pressure.
What we do together
- Present internships, capstones and side projects as real engineering work
- Focus applications on companies that actually hire juniors
- Learn a clear problem-solving routine for coding rounds
- Mock interviews with written feedback after each one
What we aim for
More replies from fewer, better applications — and calm, structured coding interviews.
