Career Coaching for Engineers in India
Stuck in the same role for years?
Wondering if you should switch to AI, Data Science, or MBA?
I'm Sanjeev Nichani, an engineering manager with 20+ years across India, USA, and Singapore. I help engineers navigate career transitions, break through plateaus, and figure out what's next.
Career coaching by an engineer, for engineers.
Pay-per-session, no commitments.
Where Most Engineering Careers Feel Stuck?
If you're a mid-career engineer in India, you've probably struggled with these questions:
“How do I get promoted when I've been in the same role for 5 years?”
You're technically strong, but career growth feels invisible. Promotions go to people who are more visible—not necessarily better engineers.
“Should I switch from core engineering to AI, data science, or should I get an MBA?”
Everyone's chasing the trend of the year. But is it right for YOUR career goals and skills?
“How can I get international engineering roles?”
You see peers landing jobs in the USA or Singapore and wonder: Is my resume good enough? Do I have the right experience?
Sound familiar?
Engineers think careers are linear equations, but career growth is messy and non-linear. You've been trained to optimize problems with data, but career transitions don't work that way.
That's where career coaching helps.
Career Coaching by Someone Who Walked in Your Shoes
I'm not a typical career coach with an HR degree. I'm an engineer who has actually lived the career changes you're thinking about.
20+ years as an engineering manager and R&D engineer
I've worked in India, USA, and Singapore—switching roles from FEA to design to HR to engineering management. I know what it takes to transition between engineering specializations and into leadership.
I've made major career transitions myself
From corporate engineering manager to self-employed recruiter, trainer, and career coach. I've coached 100+ engineers through promotions, role changes, and career pivots.
I understand engineering AND modern trends
I've taught myself data analytics, Python, AI/ML basics, and Scrum/Agile while working full-time. I can help you evaluate if upskilling in these areas makes sense for your career.
I've navigated career plateaus, international moves, and complete career switches.
I can help you figure out if your next move is right - without hype or false promises.
