Mentorship
Before you spend a year applying into silence, spend an hour with a person doing the job you want, in the city you want, on the visa you would need.
A structured hour with an industry expert in your function and target market. What the hiring bar actually looks like, how teams are structured, which employers sponsor, and what your profile reads like from their side of the table.
Sit alongside a professional through a working slice of their week — the rituals, the tooling, the meetings, the pace. You leave knowing whether the role is what you imagined, and with vocabulary that lands in interviews.
