The 3 Mistakes You’re Likely Making — and Why They Matter

If you’re a senior-level Big Tech leader and your job search feels harder than it should, this FREE session is for you.

Chances are the reason you’re not making traction isn’t because you’re under-qualified or your skills are out of date, but because many experienced professionals are still relying on assumptions that no longer hold in today’s market.

In this focused, practical workshop, we’ll break down three common mistakes we see capable Big Tech leaders making right now — and explain why they quietly stall momentum.

This is a clarity-first session with time for live Q&A. No fluff. No performative advice.

What you’ll get from this session:

• Clear insight into why these mistakes matter now

• Practical guidance you can apply immediately after the session

• Space to ask real questions about your situation

• A more accurate mental model of how hiring decisions are being made today

You won’t leave with hype or homework — just sharper signal, better judgment, and fewer blind spots.
