Strategy Sprint
Alex Migutsky
Career Strategist for ambitious engineers at high-stakes decision points
Who this is for
The Strategy Sprint is for engineers at decision points where the consequences are real and generic advice has stopped working.
Common situations:
You have a founding engineer offer and need to evaluate it on dimensions beyond equity and salary
You're at the Staff vs founder fork and the right answer depends on factors you haven't surfaced yet
You're returning to work after burnout and need to architect re-entry on your terms
You're transitioning markets (geography, industry, role type) and the move has compounding effects
You're considering starting your own company and need to pressure-test the idea before committing
If your decision can be resolved with a quick consultation, this isn't the right product. If your decision will shape the next 3-7 years of your trajectory, this is exactly the right depth of work.
How the work is structured
Six structured 90-120 minute sessions over two months, two emergency sessions, plus async access for time-sensitive thinking between sessions.
This engagement is bespoke. There is no curriculum or predefined plan.
An exemplary structure of the calls:
Session 1: Situation mapping & Profiling. We work the full system - strategy, identity, energy, execution - to surface what's actually in play.
Sessions 2-4: Decision architecture. We pressure-test options against your real constraints, identify the load-bearing assumptions, evaluate the blind spots and develop frameworks for evaluating what comes next.
Sessions 5-6: Commitment and execution. We finalize the path and build the execution plan you need to move forward with confidence.
Throughout: async access via email and your preferred messaging channel for thinking that can't wait for the next session.
You leave with a Career Architecture Stack - a living artifact of the strategic work we did together - and a decision you can act on with confidence.
Pricing and access
Pricing ranges from €5,200 to €12,500 depending on case complexity and stakes. Engineering roles are at the lower end of the range; founder and CTO cases are at the higher end.
Every Sprint begins with a Complimentary Fit Call. This is not a sales conversation - it's an honest assessment of whether the work I do is the right fit for your situation. You'll leave with at least one reframe of your situation, regardless of whether we work together.
Capacity is 10-12 concurrent clients. I work with engineers I'm convinced I can serve well.
