Career classes that take your level seriously.
Job search, switching, salary, networking, public speaking, Octo writes a class weighted to your stage and your industry.
Modern Job Search
Mass-applying on LinkedIn worked once and does not now. Learn search systems that actually work in 2026, for ICs and managers, so the next search produces offers, not silence.
First Tech Job & Co-op Search
You are a CS student watching classmates land internships and your inbox is empty. Learn the resume, portfolio, behavioral, and technical work that lands the first co-op or internship.
Capstone Project Survival
Your capstone group is drifting and the deadline is looming. Learn to pick the project, scope the team, and ship on time, so the final year ends with a project you are proud of.
Senior IC Job Search
Senior+ search is different and the early-career advice does not work. Learn the narrative, network, and leverage moves that get senior ICs to senior ICs offers.
Manager & Exec Job Search
Most exec roles never hit LinkedIn and the ones that do are already filled. Learn how the manager and exec market actually works, so you find roles before they get posted.
Career Strategy Foundations
You take your career seriously and most career advice is platitudes from people who do not. Learn to build a real career strategy, so the next five years are choices, not drift.
Senior Career Strategy
You hit staff or director and the obvious next moves stop being obvious. Learn the optionality, narrative, and trade-offs that decide senior careers, so the next move is yours, not your boss's.
Career Switching
You want to switch careers and you cannot tell which moves are realistic. Learn what real career switches look like, and how to bridge credibility, so the new field takes you seriously.
Salary Negotiation Foundations
You hate negotiating and the salary advice online is full of overconfident scripts. Learn the basics that actually work, so you stop leaving thousands on the table out of embarrassment.
Senior Offer Negotiation
Your senior offer has equity, RSUs, and a sign-on, and you are not sure what to push on. Learn negotiation at the level it matters, so you walk in informed and walk out with the better package.
Raise & Promotion Negotiation
You deserve the raise and the conversation feels career-ending to bring up. Learn to negotiate internally without burning capital, so you get the raise or title without making it weird.
Personal Brand for Builders
You want an audience and you cringe at the people who currently have one. Learn to build a real audience slowly, so you grow without turning into a content machine you do not respect.
LinkedIn Presence
LinkedIn helps your career and the typical voice on it makes you cringe. Learn to use LinkedIn that does real work for you, without the agency-of-one thought leadership voice.
Newsletter as Personal Brand
A newsletter has built careers for people you respect and you have not started yours. Learn what to write, how often, and what to avoid, so the newsletter compounds your reputation.
Networking for Builders
Networking sounds gross and you wish you had one anyway. Learn the slow, real network-building practice that does not feel manipulative, and actually compounds over years.
Senior Networking
You hit senior and the obvious networking moves stop helping. Learn the peer, mentor, and sponsor structure that quietly decides senior careers, so the network finally pulls weight for you.
Public Speaking Foundations
You speak in meetings and freeze in larger rooms. Learn the talks, panels, and all-hands toolkit for builders, so presenting stops being the part of your job you dread.
Conference Talks Craft
You want to give a conference talk and your draft sounds like a job interview. Learn narrative, rehearsal, slides, and room reading from submission to stage, so the talk lands.
Exec Presentations
You present to execs and the room goes sideways three minutes in. Learn the narrative, decks, and room-reading skills that work when one VP starts asking sharper questions than you expected.
Freelancing Foundations
You are about to leave your job and you have only fuzzy ideas about pricing and contracts. Learn the operating basics most freelancers skip, so the practice survives the first dry month.
Senior Consulting Practice
You can find $10k projects and you cannot quite land $100k ones. Learn solo consulting at six-figure project sizes, positioning through delivery, so the practice becomes a real business.
Productized Services
Your consulting practice maxes out at the hours you can sell. Learn to productize without losing what makes the work valuable, so you build leverage you can actually sell or scale.
Open Source as a Career Move
You see open-source maintainers landing the jobs you want and you have not started. Learn to pick the right project, ship real PRs, and turn maintainership into the leverage you watched others get.
