Want to take your tech career to the next level?

If you’re seeking to advance your career and become a standout in the technology industry, then mastering the art of acing coding interviews, crafting targeted resumes, and expanding your scope of influence is essential.

I can help.

You CAN Become An Industry Leader In Your Chosen Field

Have you ever wondered why some people have the amazing ability to excel in any position, and jump from success to success as they progress in their career? These people are like shooting stars, destined for greatness from their first role.

Here’s the truth:

It’s most often NOT who they know… Starting out, almost every rising talent has ZERO connections. They build their networks as they go.

It’s most often NOT that they *just* work harder than everyone else… There are many very, very hard workers who don’t make much progress in their careers. This doesn’t have to be you.

It’s most often NOT pure luck or “being in the right place at the right time”… In fact, each one of these high achievers has some very CONCRETE things in common.

…The truth is, career success is an intentional process – if you have the right skills and mindset, you too can succeed and climb the career ladder to any position you want.

My Story, And How It Can Help You

My name is Carlos Garcia Jurado Suarez.

I’m a tech-savvy career coach that has been a Software Engineer for 25 years. I have two master’s degrees—one in Computer Science, and one in Applied Math—that I got while working full time. I have touched nearly all facets of the business during my career. Ultimately, I transitioned into Machine Learning and management.

I’ve worked for big companies like Microsoft, Facebook, and a $4.4B “unicorn” startup. This gives me insight about the tech industry that is, frankly, hard for other coaches to match.

But my greatest strength is that, along the way, I met some amazing people who took me under their wing and showed me one of the greatest skillsets in the world: growing yourself to grow your opportunities.

This involves developing your skills in a balanced way, on both the soft-skill and technical skill sides, as well as learning what intelligent risks to take to maximize your chances at BIG success. And as a result, I went from junior level college graduate at Microsoft to Principal, and when I saw the right opportunity, I took a high-level engineer position at Facebook.

But what I’m most proud of is the fact that after Facebook, I took 3 months off to travel around the world with my family. Before I left for the trip, I had secured my next (higher) position at Microsoft. Yes, with the same skills I have learned, you too can create this kind of freedom!

Learning how to plot your own career with a coach like myself is not an opportunity to be passed over lightly. The investment you make in your career today will pay “dividends” for decades to come — and my own story is the best proof I can give you that this works!

Why I Might Be The Best Career Coach For You

In a nod to the ever-changing nature of technology and society, the “work environment” is taking another turn, and to join the frenzy, you must get hold of certain skills that position you for success. 

As someone who has been a high-level engineer, a manager, and now a director, I have ample experience with how hiring decisions are made. I’m offering to help you knock off a few years and take on a job you’re prepared for. 

I’m a firm believer in teamwork. I’ll do my best to help you find employers and make sure that you’re prepared, willing, and able to take charge. 

You can’t get this anywhere. Many career coaches lack the technical depth. But we can have in detailed discussions on anything from high-level organizational challenges down to the time complexity of an algorithm

Other companies provide cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all packages. I offer handpicked services, crafted especially for you. It’s the value of personalized, one-on-one coaching. We can have custom sessions that offer more flexibility than a standardized 12-week course.

What My Clients Have to Say

The career consultation is the perfect chance for you to ask questions by opening up your career. Carlos can also offer his opinion in depth. I tried the career consultation because Carlos's career is the perfect example of my career aspirations; doing the master's while working full time, getting into the new fields, leading the team as a manager, and most importantly, never ceasing to improve his career. I can't recommend it enough for people who need guidance and questions in the software industry.

Practically everything in our conversations was useful. For me, it's the breadth of your expertise that covers not solely programming but also Machine Learning, R&D, and management. Thanks to you, I wasn't only prepared well but also felt confident about my skills and as a result passed all of my ML interviews. You helped me see multiple sides of every situation realistically - starting from building my resume, choosing jobs to apply to, and ending with offer acceptance/rejections decisions - so I knew what I was doing and how to change the course of action if needed. Fourth - you were very responsive to all my requests be it a mock interview, a conversation, or a lengthy email with multiple concerns. I knew you were always there for me if I needed guidance, and I could be open about my goals, my problems, my growth areas. Finally, you helped me boost my confidence to go for the job titles that I thought were unreachable for me - and I eventually got one of them!

After having an initial consultation call with Carlos, I had an immense clarity on what skills and programming languages would be beneficial for me. After discussing my area of interest and work experience, I realized where I need to invest my time to educate myself before setting out for job search. My area of interest and work experience aligned with machine learning. I received guidance on how can I start my journey of programming. Courses in mathematics suggested by you were very beneficial for my learning. As an EE , I spent considerable time in understanding foundational concept.
