From Program Management to Tech Startups: How Yasmin Made a Confident Career Pivot
After five years in the same role, Yasmin knew it was time for a change – but re-entering the job market felt daunting. She had experience, but she wasn’t sure how to position it for today’s tech landscape.
“I’d been in my previous role for a number of years, and I was acutely aware of how much the job market had changed. I didn’t know how to translate my skills or job title in a way that made sense to others.”
Gaining Clarity, Confidence, and Momentum
Yasmin was ready to grow – but like many jobseekers making a pivot, she felt self-conscious about how to present her achievements and value.
That’s when she started engaging with TechTalk’s content and support, which helped her uncover and close the gaps in her job search approach.
“You picked up a lot of things that were in my blind spot. That was super helpful – it made for a better presentation overall.”
With expert guidance, Yasmin refined her narrative, improved her positioning, and found clarity around what she really wanted – and what she deserved to ask for.
“It was so helpful to have a soundboard – someone who’s been part of these conversations before. I needed to know: am I underselling myself? Am I asking for too much? You helped me find that balance.”
Landing the Right Role with Room to Grow
Yasmin successfully transitioned from a programme manager role into a Technical Customer Success Manager position at a startup – one that aligns with her values and offers plenty of scope for growth.
“It’s a great role – lots of learning, autonomy, responsibility. All the things I was looking for in a startup environment.”
She continues to recommend TechTalk to friends, confident in the value of the insight, support, and real-world advice that helped her navigate this competitive space.
“It’s competitive in tech, and any edge – any insight – makes a difference. You really know what you’re talking about, and that comes through in everything you share.”
