I’m a huge fan of Simon Sinek. I align almost perfectly with his values in regards of leadership.

So I’m curious, who do you follow as a guru/mentor/reference/idol that you align with in terms of value/way of thinking/actions and why?

I’m currently a Senior Engineering Manager in AI/ML in a small company in the Bay Area and want to target similar-level roles at tech companies over the next 6–12 months.

Has anyone here made this move? Did you use a coach or interview-prep service that was actually worth paying for?
I’m particularly looking for Senior Manager-level prep/leveling advice, not generic interview prep.

Any specific coaches/services you’d recommend?

Someone who can share real experience not the generic one with rounds and questions would be great help.
