WHAT MENTEES ARE SAYING
Having access to someone with Lalit's experience and knowledge is transformative for one's career. Lalit addressed all of my concerns and even delved past my questions to explore more impactful topics, ensuring I gained the most from our session. His dedication to being the best mentor possible is evident, specifically through decisions such as offering this service for free and offering to help in any way going forward. After this session, I managed to gain a newfound confidence and used his advice to receive an offer within 1 month for a 33% raise.
