We will provide you with the resources, coaching & accountability you need to conduct an effective technical job search
One of the most challenging parts of job searching is staying motivated. Along with your coaches support, you will have access to feedback & accountability from a team of peers. You will also deepen your agile & software development skills while working on a team.
You will be matched with a group of peers in your job search, and collaborate weekly to identify your job search backlog, scope out your to-dos & get feedback.
Every morning, you will have the opportunity to update your progress & get feedback.
At the end of each week, you will submit a pull request to your team's Github repo, including a link to your weekly blog posts, personal project & Sector job tracker. You can ask for general or targeted feedback from your team members to help you make improvements.

As a team of nontraditional professionals in tech, we know that job searching is hard enough without an income share agreement or high tuition weighing on you.
Instead of taking a percentage of your salary when you get hired or charging $5,000 - $7000 like most job search accelerators, we instead charge a lower flat tuition and ask that you contribute back to our community via an insight share agreement. We ask that you share your insights by committing to share your job search stats anonymously, making 2 referrals & 2 taking mentor calls within a year of getting an offer.
We charge $99 deposit upfront and a flat fee. That fee is $2500 when you land a full-time software job making over $70,000, $1500 for any software role between $70 & 50K, and $250 for paid internships. You have 10 days after your program kickoff starts to get a refund on your deposit.
You can receive a discount for your deferred tuition if you are an existing member of our community, and can reach out directly to camille@joinsector.com.
You can also receive a %25 discount on your tuition by opting into our insight share agreement (i.e. you commit to sharing your job search insights, to make 2 referrals & to hop on 2 mentor calls within a year of receiving your job offer).
Due to the recent shifts in US visa policy, we unfortunately are only able to accept international job seekers as auditors. If you are not authorized to work in the US, you can audit our programming for $99/month.
Every coach and member of our team has a background in career coaching AND a technical background in the area they coach (software engineering, mechanical engineering, sales, bus dev, marketing, data analytics). We have collectively worked at and/or coached people into every FAANG company or and 50+ more. We believe it is important to get insights from professionals who have gone through the unique challenge of breaking into tech.
