"I landed a job at Citix with a good salary after 3 weeks from starting mentorship. interview preparation questions that we prepared for with Yerke covered all questions asked by the hiring manager"
"before mentorship with Yerke I accepted several job offers without signing legal contracts, as a result after 1 month employers rejected to pay me. I stopped doing this."
"I am implementing product managers' tool from Yerke directly at my workplace. our platform is benefiting from it already."
"Yerke guided me in building a new LMS system for the client, structuring our work as contractors, and gathering the product and tech team."
"I understand that getting into YC-backed company is a challenging goal. But the mindset shift I am getting from mentorship is exactly what I need to have the right attitude towards mt goal."
“before I met Yerke I had vague understanding of how to get offer from a tech company, what I had to do. We went through my strength and weaknesses and built individual growth strategy.”
