Here’s the deal.
I just got back from Spain. Sun, wine, and no laptop for two weeks.
Then Bogdan hit me with this:
“Bro, we’ve only got 5 spots this month.”
Two are already booked — people from the waitlist.
That leaves 3 open seats, and once they’re gone… that’s it for June.
If you’ve been thinking “maybe later”...
Here is what’s happening right now:
1. Matthew (New York, USA)
Dude had been out of the market for over a year.
Most devs in that situation spiral into doubt or burnout.
Not him.
He followed the plan (even with a broken wrist)
→ now he’s got a 180ks offer from a top-tier tech company.
(that's not including benefits and stock options)
How?
With structure, accountability and a proven roadmap.
2. Alfonso (Germany)
Stuck for 3+ months. Tutorials. Random job applications.
No traction. No results.
Joined us → got hired in under 30 days.
3. Maria (Spain)
Unemployed for months. Burned by AI hype and shiny distractions.
We got her focused.
She got hired — and turned down three other offers.
But most importantly… she got her confidence back as a real engineer.
Meanwhile…
Most developers are stuck. Scared. Spinning in circles.
Hoping the market will “go back to normal.”
Spoiler: It won’t.
If you're tired of waiting, and you want a real plan:
We’ll see if you’re a fit. And if you are, we’ll get to work.
Talk soon,

P.S. Look, I’ll be honest – our Mentorship is not a magic pill. You won’t wake up tomorrow with Senior level confidence and an amazing job just because you signed up. I don’t think that’s possible. But if you are sick of being stuck, wasting time, second-guessing everything you are doing, and chasing shiny crap… this might be exactly what you need.
And yes — it’s not about being lucky or “smart. Every developer in our program is smart. What separates the developers who really win big is… they actually do the damn work. They don’t do everything perfectly. Or without self-doubt. But they do it with consistently. That’s what moves the needle.
P.P.S. And if you’re reading this thinking “maybe next month”… just know — we fill up pretty much every month. Then some folks try to join later and get stuck waiting around. Not great. If you’re even thinking about this, just book the call. Worst case? We talk and it’s not the right time. No big deal. We keep in touch. Better than sitting around waiting.
