How it started

Daniel finished a CS bachelor's at 24, but found himself with 0 interviews when he started job hunting. His CV was submitted 80 times with no response. ENP Tech-Career was the solution.

ENP Tech-Career — 12 decisive months

Olim Beyahad — keep climbing

A month after his hire — he enrolled in Olim Beyahad. His mentor (a deputy engineering manager at a strong corporate) accompanied him for 2 years. Mostly on the move to senior — how to own a whole system, how to manage 1:1 with your manager, and how to evaluate job offers.
