This program completely changed how I approach job searching and my daily work performance. It gave me a long-term strategy and proven method that helped me stand out and get ahead of other candidates. Having a mentor who provides invaluable insights was a huge bonus. I made two major career jumps - first to Workshop, and now to the US with Datadog from Madrid.
The community is hands down the best part. Thanks to Engineer Game, I've gained a much broader perspective on my software engineering career, expanded my network, and improved my interview skills to land my dream job in San Francisco. I've worked at eBay, Walmart, and now I'm at Google making $242k.
I had 4 years of experience as a software engineer and was studying for my master's in the US when I started looking for opportunities in Silicon Valley. The mentoring helped me optimize my profile and crush my interviews. I secured an offer at Meta with total compensation over $190k in no time.
I landed 3 job offers above $115k + bonus from Malaga for companies like Homa, Superbets, and Stream. This was all thanks to improving my visibility and personal brand, plus interviewing with companies like Meta, Google, and Datadog.
Thanks to this program, I got interviews with companies like Deel, RocketChat, and many others, reaching my ceiling above $100k working remotely from Spain. Don't give up - you can achieve results you never thought possible.
I've been a bit MIA but wanted to share that I got an offer with Nvidia as a Frontend Engineer. When I joined Engineer Game, I was unemployed and felt like depression was going to eat me alive. I found a decent-paying job shortly after, but Alejandro kept pushing me to keep looking and show my best self in every interview. Now I'm making more than double and want to thank Alejandro and the program for all the support and inspiration throughout this process.

Thanks to the entire community, especially Alejandro for helping me transition into cybersecurity.
I want to share a huge achievement - the first of many thanks to this incredible program that taught me confidence, direction, and critical branding insights. I just moved from $35k to $100k, joining the $100k club. I started this week at Mercado Libre as a Data and Analytics Engineer.
I wanted to share that starting Monday I'm beginning a new position with McKinsey as an SSE, which will greatly improve my current work situation. Thanks to Alejandro for guiding the process with his experience and knowledge.

I wanted to share some exciting news: I accepted an offer as Senior Software Engineer at Versapay in Austin, Texas. This achievement is a direct result of applying the Engineer Game strategies. My compensation has increased significantly and now I work for a leading fintech company.
Hey! A bit of a late update, but I'm super happy. In June I got the offer for Senior Engineer as a full employee at American Express (I was a contractor for 7 months). This almost doubled my pre-Engineer Game salary! Already seeing the ROI on the program investment. Patience and perseverance pay off.
Hey everyone!! I want to share that after 3 months without work (I got laid off) TODAY I signed a contract again 🙌🏻🙌🏻 After a really tough period where I lost my job due to layoffs, I managed to bounce back and land a new position as Senior Frontend Engineer at Raftr. This experience taught me the importance of perseverance and keeping my skills sharp even during the hardest times. The program helped me structure my job search and maintain confidence during those 3 difficult months.
They just called me with the verbal offer! They started at $75k and I pushed back and got $85k + 10% bonus! It's been an incredible process where I had multiple offers (Capitole, Nestlé) but closed with Quantum as Customer Success Engineer with almost $100k total between salary and bonus. The key was visibility - I had 40 interviews in 2 weeks, plus solid prep for technical interviews and especially learning to negotiate.
I've been pretty lucky. I was able to turn a part-time job into full-time this year and it's really flexible. So I'm doing overemployment, which has been perfect because I'm also close to my wedding. Work-wise, I've organized myself to be productive without having to work long days every day. As a Data Engineer from Uruguay, I've shown that you can grow professionally while maintaining flexibility for life's important moments.
In one year I went from Mobile Developer to getting interviews for Principal Android Engineer at Yahoo (remote) and Amazon, plus Meta reached out to me the same week. I also launched my own software consulting firm. Thanks to the program for giving me the tools to reach this level!
I just received an offer for $170,000 after negotiating up from $150,000, up from $100,000 at my previous job. The process wasn't easy at all but we made it happen, thanks to all the help from the program. I'm in Mexico waiting for my visa to start, and the company has been patient with the entire immigration process. I had the offer locked down since December - the challenge was just the visa process.
After doubling my salary from $100k to $210k + 10% bonus, I'm now evaluating new opportunities that could get me to $420k+ in total compensation. The program taught me to identify and negotiate offers that are actually worth it, and now I have the confidence to make strategic career decisions.
I crushed a coding interview with Apple Maps. The recruiter called me back 15 minutes after the interview offering me $110/hour ($228k annually). I started the contract with Apple three weeks ago on the builds and integrations team, where we work on the pipeline so every Apple update on every device touches our service. The scale of Apple's environment is just incredible. I also have the final round of interviews with Sentinel One, where my ex-manager is the hiring manager. I'm in a win-win situation and plan to use the program's strategies to negotiate once I get the offer.
I was able to land a second job at $80k. But I think the most important thing is getting three interviews with major companies like Amazon and Uber. The program helped me prepare for these opportunities and understand how to better position myself in the job market.
I got connected through a middleman - it's a US client paying me $50/hr and I think I can handle it as a second job. The program taught me to identify freelance opportunities and negotiate better rates with international clients.
Hey Alejandro! I'm doing well - the new company is still getting set up to give me the official VP title, but I'm already Acting VP and working closely with the team. They gave me the compensation I was looking for, and I'm also the hiring manager for PR (just 2 employees including me for now). You know how it is - lots of work to set things up, but I'm enjoying it. A million thanks.
Thanks to Engineer Game, I was able to strategically diversify my professional career. I currently work at Analytics 8 and am developing my consulting firm Your Analytical Partner, where I already landed a client for $130k + 10% bonus, plus I'm working with clients in Colombia and exploring opportunities with international NGOs. The program taught me to value project variety and how each one helps me be more creative and prepared for my business vision.
I started with Alejandro and the classes in July and began implementing what he taught us, especially the mindset change and tips. He explains complex things simply and quickly - that's a real skill. I applied what he taught us and by September I started the process that ended with me signing a contract - a 100% salary improvement as a remote backend engineer for a Swiss AI company. I see this more as the beginning of the path than the end, and there's still room for improvement and applying the knowledge.
With Alejandro's help, I got a job as a software engineer at Google and significantly improved my interview skills, as well as my technical and soft skills.
Before meeting Alejandro, I was struggling to find work in San Francisco. Despite going to numerous job interviews, I kept getting rejected. However, with Alejandro's help, I was able to perfect my interview skills and successfully land a position as Program Manager at Amazon.
I started the program a year and three months ago. At that time I was in a really stressful situation, completely overwhelmed by work, managing a large team and taking on tons of responsibilities. Thanks to this program and a deep mindset change, I've managed to reduce my daily workload by more than 50% and develop a completely different approach to my career and professional life. During this time, I also achieved a 40% salary increase, already exceeding the $100k barrier, without even changing companies.
I was working at Oracle as a QA Engineer doing automation and wanted to switch to Backend, but didn't know where to start. The program helped me update my professional brand, improve my resume, and lose my fear of LinkedIn. Although I started slow, small consistent actions made a huge difference. Today I successfully transitioned to Backend, increased my salary by 50%, and got a 100% remote job. What I learned is that it's not about doing it perfectly, but about making progress every day.
I'm Álvaro, I lost my job as a Project Manager in Spain. 4 months ago Alejandro recommended I switch to data. Today I have an offer at Axel One (Argentina) for $58K/year and I start on Tuesday. Between this and nothing, I'm happy! Thanks Alejandro. To everyone: keep pushing and working hard, it pays off.
