The deal senior engineers signed up for isn’t the deal anymore.

A senior software engineer with ten or more yearsof production work behind them. Recently laid off, or watching the writing on the wall — the org chart restructure, the quiet PIP, the headcount memo that always lands on a Friday.

At least three months of runwayin the bank. Not because the program needs that long, but because the work doesn’t mix with desperation. If your rent is due in six weeks, you need a bridge job first.

Already tired of the corporate cycle beforethe layoff happened. Already sketching side projects in the margins of standups. Already comfortable with AI tooling — not as a novelty, but as a tool you reach for daily.

And honest enough to admit that going back to L5 at another big-co is the path of least resistance, not the path you actually want.

The program runs on a structural rhythm, not a content drip. Each stage has its own instruments, its own deliverables, and its own way of breaking. You move through them once, in order, with me on the other end of the call.

The first three clients pay $7,500as a founding cohort — a real trade, not a marketing discount. In exchange, each writes a short case study after week 13: what worked, what didn’t, attached to a real name. Once those three seats close, pricing reverts to $10,000 and the case-study requirement disappears.

Payment plans are available — three installments, one at kickoff, one at week 06, one at week 11. No interest, no upcharge for splitting. The total is the total.

And there’s an effort-based guarantee: show up to every call, submit every form on time, do the work. If you finish the thirteen weeks without shipping, I keep coaching you — free — until you do.

Still happily employed.If you’re reading this from a job you mostly like, bookmark the page and come back when something changes. Wait until you’re not.

Less than three months of runway.Take a bridge contract first. Stabilise the cash. Come back when the rent isn’t the loudest thing in the room.

Looking for job-hunt help.Resume rewrites, LinkedIn polish, recruiter intros — that’s a different program with a different coach. This one ends with a paying customer, not an offer letter.

Wanting a self-paced course. Everything here is delivered live, on calls, with deadlines that move when yours do. There is no portal to binge on a Saturday.

Wanting community or a cohort experience. This is 1:1 by design. No Slack channel of strangers, no breakout rooms, no group accountability theatre.

Senior software engineer, fourteen years in the chair — shipping since 2012. Based in the UAE, on a stapled work visa for most of that career, which is a detail that matters more than it sounds. When the second 2023 layoff came with no severance, I had ninety days to either find another req or leave the country. That’s the deadline this program is built around.

What I saw, while I was in it, was that none of the existing options were honest. The career coaches were pacifiers — warm, expensive, vague. The indie-hacker survivors were lying by omission about how their first year actually went. And panic-applying, the default, was identity-erosion dressed up as productivity. None of it would have gotten me out.

So I rebuilt the path I needed myself: a 90-day, four-stage program with hard instruments, weekly calls, and a single non-negotiable definition of done. The Exit Pipelineis what I wish I’d had in February 2023. It’s the program I’d sell to a friend without flinching at the price.
