You don't need to become a different person to get hired in tech. You need a clear strategy and someone to hold you accountable to executing it.
The capability is already in you. This program brings it out.
Your background feels hard to explain to hiring managers.
You keep applying and keep getting ghosted.
You know what to do. You just can't get yourself to do it.
You've been searching for months with nothing to show.
You want a real strategy, not more advice to "just apply more."
You need accountability and honest feedback.
Sending 100 cold applications is not a strategy.
It's a lottery.
There's a better way.
45 minutes. We look at your background, target roles, and where the search is breaking down. You leave with clarity.
Within 48 hours, you receive a 30-day roadmap built around your specific situation.
If it's a fit, you join a cohort of 7 and execute the full strategy: resume, LinkedIn, networking, applications, and interviews.

Small by design. Every client gets a real strategy, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
7 spots availableJust enroll, and if [you're] really hesitant...at least try a single session. I walked away from even that first session with genuinely useful feedback. The program is also flexible and can be tailored to wherever you are in your job search, which I found really valuable.
Ultimately, it works, I went from months of searching on my own to landing my first full-time role, and I don't think that would have happened as quickly without the support and guidance I got.
Jessica gave me practical tips that made networking feel less intimidating and more like something I could actually do consistently.
Now, I can reach out to anyone and start a genuine conversation. That genuinely would not have happened without this program.
If you're on the fence, enroll early. Jessica is efficient, she takes your questions seriously, and she will help you figure out exactly what needs to change. I'm extremely grateful for the experience.
After my session with Jessica, I had a clearer sense of all the different pieces that go into job searching, especially around targeting companies and networking strategically. I was feeling a bit lost with all the conflicting advice online because none of it provided a clear path. Our session gave me a plan and steps to act on. I still refer back to the resources she sent to guide me.
Our session was incredibly helpful. It really helped me get organized and gave me a sense of clarity and peace of mind during what can feel like a stressful process. I’ve been able to step back, identify what I needed to work on, and set clear, actionable goals for myself. That structure has made a big difference in how I’m approaching my job search.
Full refund if you cancel before your first session. After the program starts, payments are non-refundable. If circumstances change, we can discuss pausing and resuming within the same cohort.
Cohort 2 is priced below what future cohorts will cost. If you've been thinking about it, the right time to start is now.
Book Your Free SessionI'm a software engineer with a Master's in Computer Science. My path into tech wasn't traditional. I studied Geology in undergrad, discovered programming through a community college Java class, and loved it enough to go back to school and change careers.
That experience taught me something I use in every coaching session: success in tech isn't about having the perfect background. It's about telling your story effectively and executing a smart strategy.
I coach career changers and early-career engineers because they're exactly where I was. I know what hiring teams are looking for, not just because I study it, but because I work in the industry every day.
Protolith is built on the belief that the capability is already in you. My job is to help you find it.

The free session gives you a plan. The program is where you execute it — with weekly accountability and real-time adjustments as your search develops.
Knowing and doing are different problems. Most of the value here is accountability and honest feedback on the materials you're actually using.
Common situation. The program is designed around a realistic time commitment for someone balancing a job search with other obligations.
Yes, though it shapes the strategy significantly. We'll talk through what that means during your free session. Protolith does not provide immigration legal advice.
I can't control hiring timelines, but I can make sure your strategy, materials, and interview readiness are as strong as possible going into them.
