you guys are amazing! I have been getting messages from recruiters all over the place asking me if i'm interested in swapping roles. you guys have completely changed my life around, went from 0 leads to recruiters seeking me out for interviews. I know you guys are trying to be humble, but what you have pulled off is actually amazing!! People are actually recognizing my talent rather than seeing me as just another applicant! All of this is possible because of SharpestMinds :))

Hi guys,

I wanted to send a small note to thank you all for helping me with everything concerning this position at Cox. I had been looking for work since May of 2018 with no success. After you guys started helping me and I started working with Upom I was sought out from just my Linked In page, something you guys helped create. As you know I got the offer something like 30 minutes after walking out of the building. I couldn't be more grateful for all of your help. So far I've very much enjoyed working at Cox and I'm putting my best foot forward.

Thank you all so much for helping me get this opportunity!

Happy New Year

Suchitra to Me

JAN 2

Wishing you a very happy New year.

‍SharpestMinds was the best thing that happened to me last year. I had a great mentor who guided me through meaningful projects, informative sessions that prepared me for interviews and a great cohort that always triggered insightful discussions in our Slack. It opened doors to my aspirations and goals and I was able to change my career. Today I have at least one recruiter knocking my door every two weeks.

I hope all success in your venture and would like to stay in touch with you.

Since @SharpestMindsAI though, the pace at which i’ve learned technical concepts has grown exponentially. And both the breadth and depth of that learning have expanded holistically. Huge shoutout to @jeremiecharris for taking me under his wing and being an inspiration!! 💯💯💯

I am proud to announce that I have started a new job at GSK as a data scientist. It is hard to believe that I was able to find a new position in a time when millions have lost theirs, and I am very grateful for this opportunity. I must thank SharpestMinds, Edouard Harris, Tomas Babej, and the countless others who provided mentorship as I ventured into data science. I'm excited to start the next chapter in my career!
