Hereβs what Merit users have said about James
I had a great exchange with James! He went over my new resume and cover letter by email before we met and gave me great feedback. I had to move our initial meeting for a technical interview with a company, and he was very supportive and understanding. We talked about overall strategies and insights on the industry. It's always great to find someone down to earth as well as highly experienced in tech. James is very supportive and has excellent perspective. I highly recommend reaching out to him if you're considering.
James is an excellent mentor. He listens, and shared insightful anecdotes on his past experience. He had great read recommendations which I am hoping to takeaway before we meet again.

James was incredibly helpful in providing feedback on the variety of perspectives of how I, a founder re-entering the workforce, will be viewed by people in companies. I really appreciated his experience because I hadn't heard that feedback from anyone else.
