Question 1

What do you actually help with?

Accepted Answer

We help Sales Engineers (SEs) and Account Executives (AEs) land better jobs and increase their comp via 1-on-1 coaching.

Most people come to us because they’re not getting traction in the current job market or want to be hyper-strategic about their next move.

Question 2

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

Sales (AM / AE) and PreSales professionals (SC / SE), from people trying to break in all the way up to VP level.

This includes:
People looking to pivot into Sales or PreSales
Current AEs, AMs, SEs, or SCs who want to increase their comp
More experienced folks looking to move into more strategic roles or leadership

Question 3

What programs do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer two programs depending on where you’re at:
Core Coaching Program (end-to-end support through your full job search)
Interview Prep (for people already in process who want help closing)

We’ll help you figure out which one makes the most sense for your situation.

Question 4

What’s included in the primary coaching program?

Accepted Answer

Here’s a quick snapshot:

Resume and LinkedIn overhaul
Custom upskilling plan and career planning
End-to-end 1-on-1 coaching with a PreSales or Sales leader
2x monthly group coaching sessions with sales, presales, and recruiting leaders
Access to our network of recruiters and hiring managers

One thing to know. About 80% of interviews come from our playbook and process, and around 20% come from our network.

Question 5

Do I have to apply to roles, or are all intros made by Better Career?

Accepted Answer

You’ll be doing both.

We actively share and advocate for our clients and have built strong relationships with recruiters and hiring managers, so we do operate as a bit of a talent funnel.

That said, the majority of interviews you’ll land will come from following our playbook and process and working closely with your coach.

Also, to maintain access to our network, you need to consistently follow through and demonstrate coachability throughout the program.

Question 6

How long does it take to land something?

Accepted Answer

On average, about 90 to 100 days.

It can take longer depending on your bandwidth, how selective you are, and how you execute.

For context, the average job search is closer to 9+ months, so we’re usually getting people there a lot faster.

Question 7

Do you guarantee a job?

Accepted Answer

We work with you until you land and accept a job, as long as you’re actively searching and committed to the process!!

That’s the goal on our side. 100% placements.

Question 8

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on whether you’re pursuing an individual contributor or management role, but we break it down so it's...

50% upfront
50% when you land and accept a job

You can do a payment plan for both.

We structure it this way because it ensures everyone is committed to the process.
