Engineer Career Rebuild · for engineers who are not getting the right interviews
I test your target, then rebuild your positioning and your search around it.
I test your target first: role, level, market and the evidence behind it. Then I rebuild your positioning and the way you reach the market around that decision. By Mike Salari, a staff mobile engineer with 500+ technical interviews from the hiring side.
Secure card checkout by Stripe.
After you pay. First, a readiness check: I make sure there are enough real openings for your target. If there are not, you get the full amount back.

“It was eye opening to find out how much those 2 things matter and how important it is that their respective messaging is aligned. … This rebuild has helped me get to the table.”
A target is a decision, not a guess.
Job boards give you inventory. They cannot tell you whether the role you are aiming at is the right one for your evidence, your level and your market.
What you are paying for is that decision, tested, and a search built on it: the right level, the right country, the right work authorisation, the right scope.
What this is
Most broken searches were broken before the first application: a role nobody checked against your evidence, a level the CV cannot carry, a market that cannot legally hire you.
So the target comes first. I test it against the market and your evidence, rebuild your positioning and material around it, and set up how you reach the roles.
Only then do I check openings by hand, five of them, each with why it made the cut. They are the first proof that the search works, not the point of it.

What you get
- A readiness check first. If there are not enough real openings for your target, you get the full amount back.
- One target, decided together and tested: role, level, country, work model, work authorisation
- Your CV in the versions the target needs, your LinkedIn, and a portfolio in PDF and HTML
- Target lists, search strings and a search playbook
- Cover letters, general and per company, and outreach templates
- A committee report: how a hiring panel would read you, and a voice guide for each person in the loop
- Five live openings checked by hand, each with why it made the cut
- You apply yourself
Not this: mass apply, a spreadsheet of links, automated matching, recruiter placement, a guarantee of interviews, or someone applying for you.
This is manual work and one client takes me several days, so I take a limited number at a time.
Get it nowChoose Engineer Career Rebuild if
- You are not sure which role, level or market your experience actually supports.
- You are applying steadily and getting very little back.
- You cannot tell which roles are actually open to you.
- You are spending your applications on roles that were wrong before you applied.
- You want fewer targets and a reason for each one.
It is not for you if
- You want someone to apply for you. You apply, and you decide what is sent.
- You want volume. The search is built for fewer, better-aimed applications, and that is deliberate.
- Your interviews are where it breaks. That is Engineer Career Reset.

FAQ
Which engineering roles do you cover?
Mobile, frontend, backend and QA engineering. The search stays inside the engineering evidence I can judge from the hiring side.
Are you a recruiter?
No. I sometimes share a role I think is good. You apply through the link, the same as anyone else.
Do you apply for jobs for me?
No. You apply, and you decide what is sent.
Do you give referrals?
No. I only refer people whose work I know.
Why only five roles?
Because each one is checked by hand and I have to be able to explain why it deserves your time. Five I can defend is worth more than fifty I cannot.
Why not use AI to find jobs?
AI can find links. What you are paying for is judgement about which ones deserve your time, for you specifically.
What is the readiness check?
Before anything else I check that roles at your level exist, in places where you can legally work, in enough numbers to pick five. If they do not, you get the full amount back.
Do you guarantee interviews?
No. Anyone who does is selling something they cannot control.

“I spent the last 7 years not thinking about my CV or LinkedIn for that matter. It was eye opening to find out how much those 2 things matter and how important it is that their respective messaging is aligned. The engineering rebuild helped me with a core issue. Simply facing the truth of how to present myself. Every detail matters and the rebuild was critical to putting the whole package together. Details like what to say or not say in a cover letter was particularly useful. The rebuild comes with an almost shocking level of content, but it is all personal/relevant. It really is a window into the other side of the table and almost fascinating to see all the details that should be considered. The voice guide is a useful call out. Mentally super helpful to break down each member of the interview loop to target your voice towards each. Also on flip side it was helpful to think about presenting a consistent message to each stage of the loop. This rebuild has helped me get to the table. There is so much more work to do, but this was critical to establishing a foundation to work from. Josh”
Josh Kneedler Gumroad verified purchase“I came across this through a deal and decided to give it a try. So far, I’ve found it really useful and I feel like I have a much better idea of what I should be doing and where to focus my efforts. I haven’t found a job yet, but I understand the process a lot better now and feel more confident about the direction I’m taking. Overall, I’m happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking for some guidance.”

“After 5 months of searching and getting rejection after rejection, I was honestly tired. I have 6 years of Android experience, but my CV, LinkedIn, and the way I was presenting myself were just not working. I found Mike through a recommendation, followed his advice, and started getting recruiter responses in about 1.5 weeks. Soon after, I signed with a great company as a contractor. The craziest part is looking at my old CV now. I'm honestly embarrassed by it. The experience was there, but the presentation was completely wrong. I also bought Mike's Android interview book. Great value and great content. I can't really compare them to anything else I've seen on the market. No magic, no BS. Just a strategy that worked.”
