Senior Software Engineer | Microsoft
★★★★★ 5/5
Coming to the U.S., I was confident in my technical abilities but quickly realized that the job market here was a different beast. Enlightened’s HiredTech program was a game-changer for me. I faced challenges that went beyond just acing interviews—I needed to understand how to navigate a new culture and market myself effectively. Manoel, my coach, didn’t just give me a standard playbook; he helped me craft a strategy that worked for my unique situation.
The LeetCode access was incredibly helpful, but what stood out most was Manoel’s mentorship. He pinpointed the subtle gaps in my approach and guided me in closing them. It wasn’t just about getting better at coding—it was about learning how to present my skills in a way that resonated with American employers. Manoel’s insights were key in helping me bridge the gap between my experience and the expectations of the U.S. tech industry.
Today, I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, and that’s something I owe to the personalized support I received from Enlightened. They didn’t just help me get a job; they helped me adapt, grow, and ultimately thrive in a new environment. For anyone facing the challenges of entering a competitive job market, I can’t recommend Enlightened HiredTech enough. They’ll help you turn your challenges into opportunities.
