“I haven't looked for a new job in nearly 20 years, and when I finally decided it was time for a change, I was a little shocked by how much the landscape had shifted. Resumes, leetcode, behavioral interviews: nothing felt familiar, and I wasn’t sure where to begin. A colleague recommended Shine to help accelerate my preparation, and working with her turned out to be one of the smartest investments I could have made.

Shine didn’t just help me kick-start my job search, she helped me step back and ask deeper questions. Why was I ready for a change? What did I actually want from my next chapter? She asked tough, thoughtful questions that made me stop and reflect on why I still love software engineering. She also gave me some hard truths, which were invaluable: worth the price of admission on their own.

She became more than a job search coach, she was my career counselor: insightful, honest, preternaturally calm, and deeply committed to helping me align my work with my interests and values. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for clarity and momentum in their career path.”
