You've got what it takes for a senior iOS role in the Netherlands — I'll help you prove it.
1:1 coaching from someone who made this exact move himself, leads 40+ engineers today, and shows up for you the way he wishes someone had shown up for him — with the hiring-side playbook most people never see.
You're qualified. So why does the European market keep passing you over?
Your CV reads fine to you — and gets auto-rejected here for reasons no one tells you.
You can't get in front of the people who actually decide.
You walk into interviews built for a hiring culture you've never been shown.
You're not the problem — the system just hasn't seen you yet. I'll help you make sure it does.
I'm not a coach who read about this. I lived it — and now I show up for people the way I wish someone had shown up for me.
I came to the Netherlands as an expat engineer and had to crack this exact market myself — the rejections, the silence, the figuring-it-out-alone part. I remember exactly how it feels.
Today I'm a Lead iOS engineer at KLM, one of Europe's largest airlines, and I lead a community of 40+ iOS engineers across the group.
I also sit on the hiring side, which means I know exactly what gives a candidate a real shot here — and what quietly gets them passed over. I know the parts no recruiter explains, too: the 30% ruling, relocation, how European interviews really work.
That combination is what I bring into every session with you. Not a product, not a script — someone who's been exactly where you are, and believes you can get where you're going.
Mo Gharari — Lead iOS Engineer, Amsterdam
From qualified-but-overlooked to a signed NL/EU offer — the path we'll walk together.
Positioning & target map
Honest gap analysis + a real target-company list — where you actually fit and stand out.
CV, LinkedIn & portfolio
Rebuilt for the hiring eye — the way the person reading the pile actually scans it.
The access system
How to actually reach hiring managers here — past the auto-reject, in front of the deciders.
Interview prep
Technical (Swift, concurrency, architecture) plus the European behavioral and cultural layer.
Mock interview + teardown
A live run, then an honest teardown from the hiring side — what landed, what got you skipped.
Offer stage
Negotiation + relocation and 30%-ruling navigation, so the number on paper works in real life.
Plus a direct channel between sessions for "I have an interview Thursday, help."
I can't promise you an offer, no honest coach can. What I give you is the system, the insider read, and someone in your corner holding you to it.

Is this for me?
Mid-to-senior iOS engineers aiming for a role in the Netherlands or EU. If you're earlier in your career, tell me on the intro call — I'll give you an honest read on fit.
Can you guarantee me a job?
No — and I'd be cautious of anyone who tells you otherwise, especially in this market. What I do guarantee is the system, the hiring-side perspective, and straight feedback, every time.
I'm still abroad — does that work?
Yes. Sessions are remote, and landing an NL/EU role from abroad is exactly the path I've walked myself.
How are you different from a recruiter?
A recruiter works for the company. I work for you — and I just happen to also know exactly how the company decides.
How does payment work?
For now I invoice you directly once we agree on a package — simple and personal while I get this off the ground.
