About

As an active Amazon Bar Raiser with 500+ interviews, my coaching is built on the reality of high-stakes interviewing. Success isn't about memorizing Leadership Principles; it's about demonstrating calibration. I help you translate your experience into the data-driven narratives senior interviewers expect, ensuring your stories meet the exact complexity and scope required for L4-L6. If you want to move beyond generic STAR answers and build world-class LP evidence, let's work together.

I am a Senior IC and active Amazon Bar Raiser with a portfolio of 500+ interviews conducted across Europe and North America. My experience spans a wide range of roles, including SDE, TPM, PM, MKTG, SysDev, to mention a few, with a specific focus on mid and Senior (L5-L6)...

With over 500 interviews and my role as a Bar Raiser, I have a unique 'behind-the-scenes' perspective on what separates a successful career transition from a failed one. I specialize in helping experienced professionals translate their non-FAANG or mid-level experience into the high-scale, leadership-driven language that top-tier tech companies...

Salary negotiation Salary negotiation

A FAANG offer isn't a single number; it's a complex equation. I help you decode Base Salary, Y1/Y2 Sign-On Bonuses, and RSU vesting (like Amazon's 5/15/40/40 model) to maximize your true Total Compensation (TC). I will teach you exactly which levers the recruiter actually has the power to pull.

I felt good about my examples going in, but Fernando really helped me sharpen them to land better with senior interviewers. He spotted a few places where I was staying high-level and pushed me to include specific data points that I hadn't thought to highlight, which made the impact much clearer. I also really appreciated his advice on dependency questions. He coached me to focus on my specific actions and reasoning moving forward, rather than just the blocker itself. He also made sure I wasn't inadvertently hiding my personal contribution behind 'We,' so my ownership stood out more. Great calibration if you want to make sure your delivery is airtight.

I was a bit intimidated to book an active Bar Raiser but Fernando put me at ease immediately the session started. It was calm and constructive which helped me perform better than I went in expecting. That said, his approach was highly professional and the feedback was incredibly detailed. He caught subtle language habits that were weakening my examples, specifically pointing out my overuse of the word ‘we’ made it difficult to establish my personal impact from the team’s effort. Fernando guided me to default to data-driven feedback and to avoid hypothetically phrasing ‘I would’ for past actions which helped change the authority of my answers. What stood out was his genuine investment in the result of our session. We ran a bit over time so he could ensure I had the immediate actionable steps and he even sent a break down of notes just a few hours later. I highly recommend Fernando to anyone looking to get practical insight from coaching.
