Pathrise: A full-cycle tech job-search accelerator (SWE, data, PM, design) built on an income-share agreement — 1:1 mentorship, application strategy, interview prep, and salary negotiation, paid as a slice of your first-year salary once you land a job. (Program (1:1 mentors + curriculum) · Income-share agreement — $0 upfront, then a % of your first-year salary once hired (reported 7–14%, roughly $12k–$24k caps; Pathrise doesn’t publish a fixed rate card — confirm current terms with them).)
Career Cohort: The accountability + honest-coaching layer for the months-long job search: a real career coach, an AI that drafts your weekly plan, a small squad on the same path holding you to it, and a skill roadmap you can watch move — with a free interview-practice on-ramp. Extractive, not generative: it helps you articulate what’s genuinely true about your fit, and never invents it, auto-applies, or keyword-stuffs.
• You’re comfortable signing an income-share agreement
Pick Career Cohort if…
• You want a flat, transparent price instead of a slice of your salary
• You want a coach AND a squad holding you to a weekly plan, not just 1:1 mentoring
• You want fit-first — a few applications you can stand behind, not apply-to-everything
Where we’re honestly behind
– We’re early — the matched cohort is invite-only while we onboard the first coaches and squads by hand. The free Interview Rehearsal on-ramp is live today; the full cohort is a waitlist
– No pay-when-hired / income-share or money-back job guarantee — Pathrise and the bootcamps put real money behind an outcome; we don’t (yet)
– We’re not a technical-interview cram — Interview Kickstart, Formation, and interviewing.io go far deeper on FAANG DSA and system design
– We don’t host jobs or applications — that’s LinkedIn/Indeed. We’re the layer on top, not a job board
– We’re newer than the established coaching brands — no decade-long track record or published outcome study yet
