    After 19 years at Microsoft, John expected his track record to speak for itself. It didn't. A year into his search for an engineering manager role at Netflix, the interviews keep ending the same way. Steve Huynh has seen this before — the experience is all there, but the stories aren't showing it. He coaches John live on exactly what's getting in the way.

    Kenan is a senior frontend engineer with six years of experience trying to land his next senior role, and he has the stories to get there. A broken questionnaire costing real money, a production bug impossible to reproduce locally, and an end-to-end testing rollout the team fought back on.

    What he's missing has nothing to do with experience — and everything to do with how he tells it. Three changes. One session. Watch it happen in real time. Steve Huynh coaches him live through every story.

    Ahmed is an AWS senior engineer with 12 years in the industry trying to break into staff — and he has the stories to get there. A four week migration with 20 partner teams, a disagreement with a principal engineer, two years leading a project end to end.

    What he's missing is knowing which ones to tell and how to tell them at the right level. Steve Huynh coaches him live on the three biggest things holding him back.
