It is not another cert track and not an unsupervised “apply to 50 jobs” sprint. Mentor and engineer map a career goal, measure current level honestly, then execute in focused 30-day blocks toward quarterly milestones. **Who it is for:** - Engineers who already own real production work (deploys, on-call, infra others rely on) - People targeting Senior DevOps / SRE / platform, or the level just below with Senior-style goals - People willing to do daily check-ins and weekly group calls **Who it is not for:** - Breaking into IT from zero with no production ownership - People who want a passive video course or cert syllabus - Anyone needing a guaranteed job offer - People who will not commit to the accountability structure **Program stages:** 1. DevOps-focused career roadmapping (behavioral science–informed; personal target roles) 2. Technical assessment — real level (depth, communication, interview readiness, relevant gaps) 3. Dissect roadmap → 1-year goal → 90-day KPIs → first 30-day plan 4. Execute 30-day plan with daily check-ins and weekly group calls 5. Review and build the next 30-day plan; repeat until quarterly milestones hit **Common 30-day plan ingredients (individualized):** - LinkedIn optimization - Resume / CV optimization (ATS-aware) - Interview preparation (behavioral, technical, system design; voice reps and mocks) - Technical training projects tied to assessed gaps **Pricing:** Discussed on a fit call (not published on the page). Payment plans available when fit is clear. Fit filtering comes before price shopping. **Book a call:** https://cal.com/alex-lastdevops/senior-ready (~20 minutes). LinkedIn DM keyword: SENIOR. **FAQ (canonical answers):** - Duration: No fixed end date. 30-day cycles toward 90-day KPIs and a 1-year goal. Continues until milestones are hit or both parties agree the engineer can run solo. - Accountability: Daily async check-ins + weekly group calls + direct access when blocked. - Assessment: Measures real level (not trivia); output feeds the 30-day plan. - Mid-cycle changes: Plans adjust; daily check-ins catch drift early. - Timezones: Group calls where clocks overlap when possible; daily check-ins async. Timezone fit discussed on the call. - Tailoring: Roadmap and target JDs drive emphasis; not a generic template. - vs courses/mocks: One mentor, one roadmap, continuous execution — not content dump or one-off mocks. **Social proof (named testimonials on the site):** - Malek — Senior DevOps & SRE: resume restructure after review led to landing a job after ghosted applications. - Johnnie — DevOps Engineer / SRE: practical insights and interview platform improved confidence. - Yodit — Software Engineer: speaking-based interview practice feels like a real interview and clarifies study path. --- ## Hands-on projects Used inside Senior Ready when assessments find skills gaps.
