"I got a $180k compensation increase in 4 weeks"

Hey everyone, I’m excited to tell you about Relentless. I got over 20 interviews at companies like Uber, Amazon, Genentech, and a $180,000 compensation increase after just four weeks of working with them.

Working with Kareem has been really good. I’d been stuck in academia for a long time and had never even made a resume—only used a CV. The first thing Kareem did was help me tailor a resume for roles I’d be a good fit for, and distill my academic experience into industry-relevant content recruiters actually care about. That alone was already really valuable. I’d been reluctant to leave academia, but Kareem helped me make the leap—including even setting up my LinkedIn profile, which I’ve been using to expand my network throughout the process.

Once the resume and LinkedIn were ready, interviews just started rolling in while I kept doing my day job. I’d struggled for months trying to find time for applications and interview prep on my own. Kareem gave great feedback—how to interview, how to build templates, what to say. After the first few rounds, I started feeling like an interviewing pro.

That work paid off quickly—I landed an offer with Illumina, and Relentless even helped me navigate the negotiation, which went really well thanks to Kareem’s guidance.

I’m excited about the role, and I really don’t think I could have made this jump without Relentless. It’s been a great experience, and I absolutely recommend it—especially for folks in academia looking to break into industry, or really anyone trying to level up or switch careers.
