Get Above BarShare your goals
1Tell us the role, function, and skills you want to improve through the waitlist and detailed profile form.
For job seekers
Talk with someone doing the work you want to join.
This is more than generic career coaching. Start with our technology interview pilot: talk with someone working in the role you're targeting, get practical feedback, and build a genuine connection with a person who understands the field.
A preview of the network
Tell us what you want to improve. We'll help find the right fit.
Here's the kind of professionals we plan to introduce as the network grows — each one setting their own price. During the early pilot, we review profiles and coordinate introductions by email rather than through a live directory.

Two ways to book
Insight, or an actual bar to clear.
Consult
~$80–180/session, typical
For understanding the role, the company, or the path — not a formal evaluation.
- Open conversation with someone in the seat you want
- Career-path, resume, or portfolio feedback
- A real connection with someone already in the field you're targeting
- No rubric, no badge — just their experience
Mock exam
~$150–350/session, typical
For when you want to be scored against a real bar, in your actual function.
- Structured session, scored on a 4-part rubric
- Verified, authentic badge if you clear the bar
- Referrals are optional, independent, subject to employer policies, and never guaranteed
Every professional sets their own price — the ranges above are typical, not fixed tiers, and plenty of sessions land outside them. Your fee covers the session and the feedback that comes out of it. Referrals are optional, independent, subject to employer policies, and never guaranteed.
Badge vault
Every badge, tied to a real skill and a real bar.
Each platform-issued badge names the exact skill tested and the evaluator background, with a public verification page you can share on LinkedIn or a resume. There's no cap on how many you hold — book another mock interview anytime to add a second skill or company type, and let your evidence compound over your career, not just for one job search. It may also place you in the talent pool hiring companies can search directly.
