Why online career coaching works

Online career coaching is not a lesser version of in-person coaching — in many respects, it's superior. Research supports this: according to the International Coaching Federation, virtual coaching outcomes are equivalent to or better than face-to-face sessions, with the added benefits of flexibility and accessibility.

In the tech sector, where remote work is the norm and digital skills are at the core of everything, the online format feels natural. You're not making a compromise — you're choosing the most efficient format for the type of work we do together.

Here's why online coaching works particularly well for tech professionals:

My clients achieve tangible results: promotions, offers at big tech companies, successful role transitions, salary negotiations with significant increases. The online format doesn't limit these outcomes — it enables them.

How online sessions work

The process is straightforward and structured to maximize the value of your time:

  1. Booking: choose the service and time slot you prefer from the online calendar. Payment happens at the time of booking.
  2. Preparation: you receive a confirmation email with the video call link and, where applicable, a brief pre-session questionnaire to focus our work.
  3. Session: we connect via video at the agreed time. The session is entirely dedicated to you: no generic presentations, no filler. We work on your specific goals.
  4. Follow-up: after the session you receive a written summary with key points, agreed actions, and where applicable, additional resources.

There's no mandatory pathway. You can book a single session for a specific issue, or build a multi-session journey if you have medium-to-long-term objectives. The choice is always yours.

Sessions take place on Google Meet or Zoom, your preference. If your company uses Microsoft Teams or another platform, I can accommodate without any issue.

Benefits of online coaching vs in-person

Many professionals wonder whether online coaching is as effective as in-person coaching. The short answer is yes — and in many cases it's preferable. Here's a direct comparison:

Geographic accessibility

Online: access from anywhere in the world. Ideal if you live outside major cities where qualified tech coaches are scarce.
In-person: limited to coaches available in your city. Often this means settling for less specialized professionals.

Schedule flexibility

Online: slots from 8:00 to 21:00 CET, including times compatible with lunch breaks or after work.
In-person: constrained by office hours and commute time. A 60-minute session easily becomes a 2-hour commitment.

Cost

Online: no office rental costs, savings passed on to you. My sessions start from €29.
In-person: coaches must cover physical space costs. Prices typically start at €80-150 per session in major cities.

Journey continuity

Online: coaching never stops for business trips, relocations, or holidays. Wherever you are, the work continues.
In-person: any move interrupts the relationship and requires starting over with another coach or waiting until you return.

The only scenario where in-person coaching has a clear advantage is when body language is a central element (for example, coaching on presenting to large audiences). For career coaching — where we work on strategy, positioning, interview preparation, and career development — the online format is optimal.

How much does online career coaching cost

One of the key advantages of online coaching is accessible pricing. Without the overhead of a physical office, I can offer sessions at significantly lower rates than market average, without compromising quality.

Introduction Session

Duration: 30 minutes
Price: €29
Includes: initial assessment, immediate actionable advice, next steps

Resume & LinkedIn Review

Duration: 45 minutes + written feedback
Price: €49
Includes: live CV analysis, LinkedIn optimization, written notes within 1-2 days

Compare these rates with the career coaching market average: €100-250 per session with generalist coaches, €200-500 with tech-specialized coaches in major cities. With me, you pay less and work with a coach who has direct experience in your industry.

No mandatory packages. No contractual commitment. You book and pay session by session. If after the first session you decide not to continue, you owe nothing further.

Who is online coaching for

My online career coaching is designed for tech professionals with at least 3-5 years of experience who find themselves in one of these situations:

I don't work with fresh graduates at their first job or those looking for a pre-recorded online course. My coaching is for professionals who want direct, personalized, action-oriented guidance.

Platforms and tools

Sessions take place via video call on platforms you already know and use daily in your work:

Minimum technical requirements: a stable internet connection, a computer or tablet with webcam and microphone. No special software or additional accounts needed.

For resume reviews, we use real-time screen sharing: you see exactly what I'm analyzing and why, with the ability to take notes directly. For interview preparation, the video call faithfully replicates the format of actual big tech interviews.

Booking and payment happen online through the integrated booking system on this site. You receive immediate confirmation via email with the session link.

Frequently asked questions about online coaching

Is online coaching as effective as in-person coaching?

Yes. For career coaching, where the work focuses on strategy, positioning, and preparation, the online format is equivalent to or better than in-person coaching. My clients' results confirm this: promotions achieved, big tech offers secured, successful role transitions. Research from the International Coaching Federation confirms that virtual coaching outcomes match those of face-to-face coaching.

What happens if I have technical issues during a session?

In the rare cases of connection problems, we switch to an alternative platform or continue via phone. If the issue persists and the session is significantly shortened, we reschedule the missed portion at no additional cost.

Can I book sessions outside working hours?

Yes. I offer slots from 8:00 to 21:00 CET, Monday through Friday. Many clients book during lunch breaks or after 18:00. For special scheduling needs, contact me and we'll find a solution.

Do I need to commit to a package of sessions?

No. Each session is independent. You book and pay one session at a time. There are no contracts, subscriptions, or continuity obligations. Many clients start with the €29 introduction session and then decide whether and how to continue.

Start with a €29 introduction session

The 30-minute introduction session is the best way to find out if online coaching is right for you. It's not a demo or a sales pitch: it's a real working session where we immediately tackle your primary goal.

In 30 minutes:
