Job Search Cohort
Six live sessions with Nicola on running a job search with criteria, on the Euro Top Tech platform. You leave with a search plan you built, not with a promise.
17 Nov 2026 to 12 Jan 2027, Tuesdays, 12:30 to 13:45 CET
20, applications close Fri 13 Nov 2026
EUR 1,000, paid once
10 to 20 hours a week for six weeks
A job search, run with criteria
The method I use with coaching clients, taught in six weeks on the tools you already have as a member.
Most searches are a pile of applications and a lot of waiting. This one starts from where you stand and what you are going for, reads the market for those roles, builds a target list with tiers, positions your CV for one lane, starts the referrals that get interviews, and times the applications to when hiring actually happens.
Each week you build one piece of it in the Career Lab or on the boards and bring it to the call. In every session I teach for 45 minutes and then review participants' actual artifacts for 30. Between sessions, questions go in the cohort's private Discord channel, which I answer on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Who it is for
- Engineers, data and ML people, and the product and engineering managers next to them, anywhere in Europe or planning to move here.
- People who want to run their next search with a method instead of applying to whatever shows up, whether the target is big tech, a scaleup or a solid remote role.
- People who can put in the hours. The sessions are the small part; the work between them is the program.
Who it is not for
- Anyone who wants a job handed to them. This teaches you to run the search; it does not run it for you.
- Anyone who cannot free the hours for six weeks. The next cohort will exist.
Tuesdays, 12:30 to 13:45 CET, 75 minutes each
Five sessions build the search in November and December. The sixth, in January, fires it when hiring reopens.
Where you stand and what you are going for
How I read a profile against the market, the criteria that separate a target from a wish, and the three tiers every search needs.
You bring: Your Path and career thesis, with three target tiers.
Reading the market for your roles
Skills Pattern Analysis on live postings: what your target roles actually ask for, where you are short, and when a second lane makes sense.
You bring: Your Skills analysis and a plan A and plan B lane.
Target companies and roles
Building a target list with the job boards: company tiers, comp and savings, which postings to skip, and the alerts that keep the list alive.
You bring: Your target list in the Tracker, with alerts set.
CV and positioning
What a CV has to say for the lane you chose, the CV review loop, and the LinkedIn profile that recruiters find.
You bring: CV version 2 reviewed, and your LinkedIn headline and about section.
Networking and referrals
Who to write to, what to write, and how referrals actually get made at big tech and scaleups. The Outreach tool and the contact planner.
You bring: Ten outreach messages sent, tracked in the contact planner.
Apply week: applications and interview prep
When hiring reopens: application cadence, the prep plan for your lane, timing against the hiring peak, and the first negotiation rules. Each participant presents their plan.
You bring: Your interview prep plan and a 90-day calendar.
EUR 1,000, paid once
The cohort is for members on the Full search plan (billed EUR 99 every 9 months) or the yearly plan. If you are not a member yet, the plan comes first and the application after it, so the all-in for a newcomer is EUR 1,099.
Readers of the newsletter and members of the Discord received a code worth EUR 200, valid until Sun 1 Nov 2026. The public price is the one above.
- 20 seats. Applications close on Fri 13 Nov 2026 or when the seats are gone.
- No refunds. The cohort runs with at least 10 paid participants; below that it does not run and everyone gets the full amount back.
- Every session is recorded. Cameras are optional.
- Plan 10 to 20 hours a week. If you cannot, wait for the next cohort.
Tell me where you stand
Five short questions. The seat is paid after the application, in a separate step.
Checking seats
Before you apply
Is this coaching?
It is the method from my 1:1 coaching, taught to a group, with your own work reviewed in the hot seats. The 1:1 program stays separate and is for people who want weekly attention on their search.
Will I get a job out of it?
No one can promise that, and I do not. What you leave with is a search you can run: a thesis, a target list, a positioned CV, a referral pipeline started, a prep plan and a calendar.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is recorded and the recording is in the cohort channel the same day. The hot seats are live only, so bring your artifact to the ones you attend.
Why do I need the 9-month or yearly plan?
Every week you build a real artifact in the Career Lab and the job boards: the Path, the Skills analysis, the target list, the CV review, the Outreach tool. You need the platform for the six weeks and for the search that follows.
Can I get a refund?
No. Seats are limited and the work starts before session one. The one exception is on my side: if fewer than 10 people have paid by the application deadline, the cohort does not run and everyone gets the full amount back.
Want weekly 1:1 attention on your search instead? The coaching program is the other door.
