Mock interviews, story reviews, and the questions that actually get asked. Impress them the same way you always had to.

Why this isn’t pay-to-play for referrals

Every candidate pays the same listed price, so nobody buys an edge — you’re paying for a seat at the table, not the outcome. Who a professional chooses to refer stays entirely their call, made off-platform, exactly as it works today. The only thing that changes: the person giving you thirty minutes of hard-won judgment is no longer doing it for free.

You already take these calls. Now they respect your time.

  • · Set your own price and keep 80%. List only the windows that fit your week.
  • · Verify once with your work email — or join as an alum with zero conflict.
  • · You never sell outcomes. Who you refer, if anyone, stays entirely up to you — off-platform, same as always.
  • · Check your firm’s outside-activity policy first; a donate-your-earnings option is on the roadmap for firms that restrict personal compensation.
