Client Success Story: Roger

The result: a full level up to Director of Transportation, a $10,000 raise, and a $24,000 sign-on bonus.

What do you do when a bad boss and a worse culture start following you home?

When Roger came to me, he was angry and worn down. A terrible boss and a bad culture had made him so unhappy that it was bleeding into his life outside of work, affecting his wife and kids. He was already in a strong role as a group manager of transportation, paid well — but he was ready for the next level, and he didn't see a path to get there where he was.

He needed to leave, but leaving wasn't enough on its own. He needed to land somewhere better, at the next level, not just somewhere different.

We built his case around:

●        Rebuilding his entire professional portfolio — resume, LinkedIn, everything — to reflect director-level scope and impact

●        Sharpening his elevator pitch until he could speak with total clarity and confidence about why he was the right fit for that next level

●        Preparing him to compete at the top of the market, which paid off with four major interview opportunities at major companies

By the time he sat down in his top interviews, he wasn't asking to be considered for director — he was showing them exactly why he already belonged there.

The Outcome:

●        Landed a Director of Transportation role at a global CPG company — a full level up from group manager

●        Negotiated $10,000 more in base salary

●        Negotiated a $24,000 sign-on bonus

The true win: Roger didn't just escape a toxic culture that was bleeding into his home life — he stepped into the next level of his career, with a role, a raise, and a bonus that reflected exactly where he belonged.

A bad boss or a stalled title doesn't have to keep following you home. Let's build the case for what's next.
