For professionals

Whatever you're good at, someone will pay to learn from it.

Engineering, data, ML, product, design, finance, marketing, ops — if you do it for a living, there are people who would value learning from you. Share how the work really gets done, make meaningful connections with people entering or growing in the field, and choose the price, format, and hours that work for you.

Run it like your own shop

Your price. Your service. Your availability.

Nobody assigns you a rate, a script, or a set of hours. Share broad availability in your profile, then confirm the actual time with us before a session.

Your price

No rate card

Set it per session, based on your experience and the value you want to offer. Choose a rate that feels right for your time and expertise.

Your service

Your call

Choose a consultation or structured mock interview, then shape the conversation around what the other person wants to learn and what you can share.

Your schedule

Flexible

Open one hour a week or ten. Share the days and general windows that usually work for you, then confirm each proposed session by email—there are no minimums or quotas.

Earnings

You set the price. Not us.

There's no rate card. You price every session yourself — most professionals land somewhere between $80–350, but that's a starting guide, not a rule. You decide how much your time and experience are worth.

You set the price, every time — $80–350 is a typical starting range, not a ceiling or a floor
Independent referrals are optional, subject to your employer's policies, and never guaranteed

Referrals

Your call, without pressure.

Referrals are optional, independent, subject to employer policies, and never guaranteed. Every session pays on its own either way.

You decide who's worth it

Your call

You'll meet candidates and use your own judgment. Referring is never a box you're asked to check.

Any open role, not just yours

Wide open

If you choose to refer someone, follow your employer's existing policies and process. Get Above Bar does not direct or require that decision.

The bonus is yours to keep

Same as usual

Any compensation or outcome comes from your employer's normal process, if applicable. Get Above Bar never promises or controls it.

Onboarding

Verification, then we confirm the details with you.

Verify employment

Step 1

Confirm your role with a work email or a reviewed LinkedIn profile. Nothing goes live until verification clears.

Choose your visibility

Step 2

List your employer directly, or appear anonymously — e.g. "L6 Staff Engineer at a top-3 cloud provider." Your call.

Share broad availability

Step 3

Use the profile form to share your timezone, available days, and general windows. We email you to confirm a specific time before introducing a session.

Host & score

Step 4

Confirm the details, run the session, then share the agreed feedback or evaluation. Your contact details stay private until the session is confirmed.

The scorecard tool

One rubric, tailored to the session.

Categories adapt automatically to the function and session type — a product case looks different from a coding round. Four scored categories, plus two calls only you can make: badge or not, referral-worthy or not.
