I work with software engineers on the career decisions that matter most: pushing for Staff, taking a founding engineer role, navigating what AI means for their trajectory, leaving for something different, staying and playing the long game.

Most career advice breaks when the stakes are high.
It works for tactical decisions and falls apart when you have real options and picking wrong costs years.
