About Vaibhav

Unlock Your Career Potential with Expert Guidance! With a rich background in technical and product management roles at industry giants like Microsoft and Samsung, coupled with hands-on experience at startups, I bring a unique perspective to help you excel in your career journey. Notably, I've successfully mentored 10+ non-traditional candidates, guiding them to secure coveted Product Management positions at prestigious companies like Microsoft, Intuit, Salesforce, and more. In addition, I have conducted over 100 mock interviews, allowing me to provide sharp feedback. I am currently on the product team for OneDrive and SharePoint Premium, but have also interviewed with top-tier companies such as Duolingo, Google, Databricks, Hubspot, Atlassian, Electronic Arts, and Capital One. Whether you're aiming for a career switch or seeking to advance in your current role, I offer personalized assistance through mock interviews, resume reviews, and targeted networking advice. My expertise is not limited by backgrounds; I am dedicated to helping students and professionals from all walks of life, especially those with non-traditional trajectories.

Why do I coach?

I'm excited to coach other people because many people helped me reach this point in my career. From random calls to college mentors, they have all shaped my career in impactful ways. I originally thought that given my background, I could never break into product management, but some key mentors were able to help me overcome that mental mountain.
