Written by Ravi Mehta, a 29-year-old software engineer, worked for a well-known multinational company in Bangalore. On paper, it sounded like a dream job but the reality was far from it. His salary barely covered rent, groceries, and his father’s medical bills back home. The long hours, the lack of appreciation, and the stagnation in his role left him feeling defeated.
Each day, he saw colleagues switch jobs and double their income, while he struggled to even get interview callbacks. He knew he had potential, his work ethic was solid, and his coding skills were sharp but something was missing. He needed the right guidance, network, and direction.
One evening, during a late-night scroll through LinkedIn, he came across a post about LEAP. On a whim, he signed up.
Within a week, Ravi was connected with Amit Khurana, a seasoned tech leader who had worked at Google and several startups. Their first video call was eye-opening. Amit didn’t just review Ravi’s resume, he helped him reframe his career story, showcase impact-driven results, and strategize his job hunt.
Through LEAP’s network, Ravi also attended mock interviews, portfolio review sessions, and exclusive webinars with CTOs and hiring managers. Most importantly, he was added to a private community of professionals where job leads were frequently shared. That’s where he found a listing for a fast-growing product company in Pune, looking for a backend engineer.
With Amit’s reference and Ravi’s improved pitch, he cleared all interview rounds.
Three months after joining LEAP, Ravi accepted an offer, a 75% salary hike, flexible remote work, and a healthy work culture. Today, he not only supports his family comfortably but also mentors new LEAP users, paying it forward to others stuck where he once was.
His story is a powerful reminder, sometimes, all it takes is the right connection to change your trajectory.
