"They told my story at scale and got it in front of decision-makers—without going through the black hole of traditional applications."

I landed a VP of Engineering role with a first-year total compensation of $900K, growing to $1.2M in year two, and potentially $1.4M+ with refreshers. That’s a $300K increase from my previous role at $700K. It’s a better position with more upside—and more certainty—than other VP offers I was considering.

What made Relentless valuable for me, especially as someone who spent 10+ years at one company, is that they told my story at scale. I’m not naturally strong at networking, and I didn’t have a personal network built specifically for job searching. That’s where Relentless came in: they opened doors and got my profile directly in front of decision-makers—not through the usual recruiter filters or internal politics, but through direct outreach.

For executives or operators like me—especially introverts who haven’t built a network for career moves—Relentless is a game-changer. They help you articulate your leadership value, highlight the gaps you can fill, and reach the people who actually need to hear it.

I wasn’t just looking for more money. I wanted to stop feeling stagnant. I’d spent years building internal-facing products, but I knew it was time to gain experience building for external users. This new role checks every box—and Relentless played a big part in getting me here.
