“SV Academy is free, but the catch is that it was a lot more challenging than I expected. You have to put in a lot of time and be prepared to receive a lot of feedback. The program is designed with employers, so everything I learned was directly related to the types of work I am doing now in my full-time job.”

“I speak to senior professionals at F500 corporations everyday. They are busy and have high expectations. A lot more conversations end in a “no” than a “yes”, so you have to have a tough skin and not take things personally. The experience is incredible. I have the confidence to speak to anyone now.”

“Once I started the fellowship I began to appreciate how big the opportunity really is in Silicon Valley. I felt that I had an instant community of friends and mentors from interesting companies around the industry. The social events are such a great way to build relationships with people who are around your age doing the exact same thing you are in a new city.”

“The idea of being a salesperson was very intimidating to me when I first decided to accept my offer to join SV Academy. After starting in business development for an AI software company, I’ve moved into a different part of the company in a more senior role. My SV Academy coach has stuck with me.”

“When you complete the first three months of the program, your resume is sent through a special system to hiring employers for first-round interviews (vs. applying through their websites, which I’ve tried before and usually received no response). It took about 4 weeks to complete interviews and sign a full-time offer.”
