The truth is it is always hard to write this “about us” thing. Not because we don’t know who we are (of course we do), but because putting it on a website often sounds too serious, corporate, or worse: fake. So we’ll try to tell it as it is, without excessive embellishments or PowerPoint phrases.

We are several people behind this site. We don’t hide behind a logo, although we prefer to keep a collective focus: it doesn’t matter who wrote each line, but what you can take away from what you read here. All of us have worked for more than ten years in multinationals. That means —for better and for worse— we have sat in endless meeting rooms, gone through long interview processes, negotiated, had brilliant bosses and not-so-brilliant ones, and learned both the shiny and the tough side of the corporate world.

And above all, we’ve realized something simple: almost nobody directly teaches you how to handle your career. At university, in a master’s degree, or in your first jobs, they talk about technical things, teach you theory, maybe you take a “soft skills” course… but how do you really prepare for that interview where everything is at stake? How do you say “no” in a negotiation without feeling like your world collapses? How do you balance professional ambitions with the fact that life is not only work? That is what we wanted to capture in Career Roadmap.

Why this page exists

We didn’t wake up one day with the romantic idea of “changing people’s lives.” It was more a mix of frustration, accumulated experience, and desire to do something useful. We all went through the same thing: we saw colleagues or friends with plenty of talent, but they froze in an interview. Or they entered a negotiation and accepted the first offer out of fear. Or they burned out too much because nobody had told them that personal balance is not a luxury but a vital resource.

So we thought: what if we created an accessible space, without so much fluff, where anyone could read practical articles, download resources, and truly train their ability to take the next step? That’s how Career Roadmap was born. There isn’t a big business plan behind it (though we do like to think things through), but a clear motivation: to share tools we would have loved to have handy from the start.

What we offer (our way)

Our content doesn’t aim to sound academic or like a perfect manual. We’ve divided it into several types of resources to make it easy to navigate:

1. Training resources: here you’ll find learning materials. Think guides, diagrams, frameworks (but explained in an understandable way, no unbearable jargon). In other words, what helps you train as if you were in a gym, but instead of muscles, you train professional skills.

2. Support articles: more free-form texts that complement the training. One article might tell anecdotes about dealing with a difficult boss, another about why you shouldn’t go into an interview without preparing your answers. They are written to be read on the subway, during a coffee break, without the need to sit down for three hours with a manual.

3. Job interview preparation: this section is the heart of Career Roadmap. It may sound exaggerated, but we’re convinced that the job interview is the most important gateway. You can be brilliant in what you do, but if you can’t reflect that in the interview, the opportunity closes. Here we want to give you everything: practical guides, examples, common mistakes we’ve seen time and again (yes, even we made them).

In addition to the articles available for everyone, we offer personalized coaching sessions. We don’t want to sound like “gurus” or anything like that: we see it as a space where we help you prepare for a high-level interview, train negotiation, improve personal communication, or understand how not to get lost in the endless search for work–life balance.

And one detail: although we touch on all these topics, we’re clear that where we may contribute the most is in interview preparation. Because that’s where everything is usually decided, and where we’ve seen the biggest difference between someone prepared and someone improvising.

The style (and the limitations)

We’re not going to promise that in Career Roadmap you’ll find the complete theory on every topic. That’s what entire libraries, official courses, and expensive consultancies are for. Our goal is more down-to-earth: to give you resources you quickly understand, use the very next day, and that don’t just stay as abstract ideas.

We focus on the corporate world, yes, but not on its boring version. We want to talk about real meetings, real interviews, real fears. For example: what do you do if in an interview they ask about your weaknesses and your mind goes blank? Or how do you tell an interviewer your salary expectation is higher without them cutting off the conversation? Those things that always happen and rarely get seriously prepared for.

What drives us

It may sound obvious, but what drives us is seeing someone come into Career Roadmap, read an article, and use it. That one day we get a message like “hey, thanks to your material I got the interview I really wanted” (yes, it’s happened before, and I assure you that’s pure fuel to keep going).

We don’t have a perfect speech or master motivation plan. Nor do we want to sound like those sites that tell you “come here and change your life in 10 steps.” We prefer to be clear: changing your professional life depends on many things (some in your hands, others not). But what *is* in your control is preparing better. And for that, we want to help you.

What you can expect if you stay here

• That we tell you things directly, without three paragraphs of fluff.
• That you find practical resources, even if we sometimes go off on tangents with day-to-day corporate anecdotes.
• That our focus will be, above all, on job interviews, because we know from experience how decisive they are.
• That sometimes there will be mistakes, because we prefer to publish something useful even if it’s not dressed in academic clothing.
• And above all, that we don’t speak from a pedestal. We are people like you, with long CVs in multinationals, who have had successes and failures, and who want to share what we learned along the way.

And that’s it

We could stretch this even more, but you probably have better things to do than read an endless biography of a website’s authors. The important thing is simple: if you’re here because you want to advance in your career, fine-tune your interviews, improve your negotiation skills, or just better understand the corporate world, you’re in the right place.

The rest you’ll discover among the articles, the trainings, and, if you’re up for it, the coaching sessions. We’ll still be here, writing, sharing, and also learning along the way. Career Roadmap is that: a professional roadmap made by people who have already walked part of the path.
