Coaching Technology Professionals for Connection and Impact

Helping tech professionals land roles at Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and 500+ companies nationwide since 2017

I’m Tim, Lead Technology Career Coach at Coaching Technology Group, Inc. and former hiring manager at Wizards of the Coast. I’ve guided hundreds of software engineers, product managers, engineering leaders, and tech professionals through successful career transitions—with an average job search duration of 4-6 months, even in today’s competitive market.

Serving tech professionals across the United States through remote coaching sessions tailored to your schedule and career goals.

• Corporate job search and career pivots with an emphasis on the actual “how-to” of job search, doing your resume, LinkedIn profile tuning, interview prep, and additional career services and counseling for you to get your tech career started or restarted. More than just career advice, we give you personalized attention and share how to do each step of the process.
• Corporate Leadership Coaching for working professionals focused on advanced communication skills and philosophy of management, especially early career and first time managers in corporate settings. Move past Impostor Syndrome and develop soft skills that corporate training seldom discusses.
• Effective Remote Management Skills for individuals navigating the unique challenges of leading remote teams at all levels of experience.
• Early-stage startup company coaching supporting all levels from C-suite to contingent staff to improve communication and culture while preserving the employee’s confidentiality. Very experienced supporting tech startups where no formal HR function exists and workers need coaching support to improve company culture and morale.

Tech Career Coaching & Job Search Services

Resume Optimization & ATS Strategy for Technology Roles

Navigate tech layoffs and career transitions with expert guidance. I specialize in helping mid-career tech professionals land their next role through:

• ATS-Compliant Tech Resumes that upload accurately to Workday. You need a resume that passes applicant tracking systems at FAANG companies, enterprise tech firms, and corporate hiring teams.
• LinkedIn Profile Optimization: Seven-point profile update that increases recruiter views and visibility in LinkedIn Recruiter, the tool most recruiters use to find candidates on LinkedIn.
• Tech Interview Preparation: One-on-one mock interviews with real-time feedback, focused on our unique behavioral storytelling approach, the SCARF method – an update on the well-known (and less effective) STAR method.
• Job Search Strategy: Time-saving tactics for software engineers, product managers, data scientists, and tech leaders, including how-to guides for networking, outreach, lesser-known job boards, and ways to cut through the AI slop polluting the job-seeking marketplace.
• Salary Negotiation Coaching: Navigate offers and negotiate compensation packages at tech companies based on real clients and their results in the marketplace.

Roles I specialize in: Software Engineers, Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Data Scientists, UX Designers, Product Designers, Technical Program Managers, DevOps Engineers, and tech-adjacent corporate roles.

Industries served: SaaS companies, tech startups (seed to Series B), FAANG and big tech, gaming companies, fintech, and enterprise software.

My Approach to Professional Coaching

Philosophy: “How You Are Turning Out Right Now”

After working with hundreds of clients in tech and corporate environments, I’ve learned everyone wants more from their career and life—better relationships, easier conversations, clearer intentions, and greater satisfaction.

My coaching philosophy centers on two questions:

• “What if there is nothing to be fixed?”
• “What if your life is exactly what you are committed to it being?”

Your current results—career trajectory, relationships, satisfaction—reflect the sum of your conscious and unconscious commitments. Together, we uncover what you truly care about (revealed through your actions and choices) and decide if those commitments serve you.

There’s no judgment, nothing “wrong” to fix. We discover what we find, you decide what works, and we create an action plan with specific commitments you set for yourself.

This approach works for:

• Career transitions (planned or unexpected tech layoffs)
• Mid-career professionals feeling “stuck” or unfulfilled
• Leaders seeking breakthrough results in communication and influence
• Anyone ready for meaningful change in their professional life

I am 100% committed to you getting whatever it is you want to have happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does tech career coaching cost? Totally transparent pricing. See the pricing page for detailed package information. Investment ranges from single-session interview prep to comprehensive 3-month job search programs.

Do you work with clients outside major tech hubs? Yes. I serve tech professionals across the United States via video coaching sessions. Clients are located nationwide, in the major hubs of Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, Boston, and Denver, and cities with smaller tech footprints like Atlanta, Houston, and Milwaukee.

What’s the difference between a career coach and a recruiter? Recruiters work for companies to fill roles. I work exclusively for you—helping you identify your career goals, optimize your job search materials, develop interview skills, and negotiate offers. You get personalized 1-on-1 attention focused entirely on your success. I meet with professional recruiters twice a month to stay up to date on the latest hiring trends.

How long does it take to land a tech job with coaching? You will have updated materials in seven days, so you can be back on the market quickly. Most clients land offers within 4-6 months of starting our work together. The timeline varies based on role seniority, market conditions, and your specific situation (e.g., employed vs. laid off, relocation requirements, etc.).

Do you coach software engineers specifically? Yes. I work extensively with software engineers at all levels (junior through staff/principal), as well as engineering managers, product managers, data scientists, and other technical roles. My background includes tech recruiting and understanding what engineering hiring managers look for.

Can you help with tech career pivots? Absolutely. I’ve coached professionals pivoting from non-tech to tech roles, from IC to management, from management back to IC, from startup to big tech, from big tech to startup, and between technical disciplines (e.g., software engineer to product manager).

Do you offer remote team management training for entire teams? For individual managers, yes. For team-wide training, I can design custom programs for your organization—contact me to discuss corporate training options.
