Alex F.

Alex F. Landed A $200K Remote Job In 2.5 Months

Senior Software Engineer10 Years ExperienceOakland, California, USA

After 10 years as a software engineer, Alex was talking to 3–4 recruiters a day and getting ghosted every time — zero interviews for months, despite upskilling in AI engineering. DevSchool overhauled his LinkedIn positioning and helped him find clarity on the exact direction to take his career. Within 2.5 months, recruiter inbound flipped to roles he actually wanted, and he landed a $200K remote offer — $40K more than his last job — without submitting a single application.

AJ Negotiated A $180K Lead Engineer Offer In 12 Weeks

Lead Engineer20+ Years ExperienceChicago, Illinois, USA

After being laid off, AJ spent 6 months unemployed in a tough Chicago market and settled for a job that paid the bills but didn't reflect his 20+ years of experience. He didn't know how to optimize his LinkedIn or tell the story of his own career wins. DevSchool rebuilt his profile with the right keywords and metrics — so well that a company found him and reached out directly. Twelve weeks later, he turned a senior-level interview into a Lead Engineer offer and negotiated the pay up another $25K to $180K, without ever applying.
