I enjoy the one on one session with Pathrise Industry mentors and also the fact that the program is sensitive to mental health issues that fellows may face in their journey. Depending on the job salary, the monthly payments to Pathrise could be pricey! So I think maybe the monthly credits for booking sessions can increase from the current 4. Finally, the main issue I had was the availability of jobscan because it is such an important tool in the pathrise application flow, I think the jobscan or a similar ATS service should be part of the perks provided. I have been using the JobAlytics extension however it is honestly below par.

Great Service IF you come from a traditional background
TLDR: If you don’t have internships under your belt or relevant work experience in the corporate world, this might not be the best place for you.
I joined the Pathrise program in October, ended up leaving 4 months later after experiencing difficulty landed a job. I don’t come from a traditional background in terms of work experience (IE: straight out of college launched a series of small businesses, learned as I built, pivoted directions multiple times).
They pair you with a career mentor and you can pick & choose your industry mentors. Your career mentor helps with your resumes. Your industry mentors help you pinpoint strong and weak points. Industry mentors also help you practice for interviews, case studies, and overall industry knowledge.
You probably want to join Pathrise from the countless “UGC” tiktok ads they’ve been putting out, and their 96% success rate. Well, if you have past internships and/or relevant work experience in the roles you’re looking to get into you might have some luck.
Overall, the service is great, the mentors definitely care about you. Ultimately, it is your decision whether or not to join. However, in my experience I believe this is best suited for someone who’s already gone beyond the first stage of going down the corporate path. I hope this helps someone, Happy Hunting.

Pathrise is great, income share agreement is eh.
I have been truly fortunate to work with Pathrise; they have entirely transformed my job search. As a healthcare professional who recently completed a bootcamp to transition into software engineering, I needed support and resources to help me navigate this change. Pathrise provided just that.
The income share agreement model is palatable at best. However, the total cost has been well worth it for the top-notch resources and industry connections I have gained through Pathrise.
While I am thoroughly impressed with Pathrise, a stronger focus on making high-quality network connections and increased support during the job search would enhance the experience even more. The team at Pathrise has been accommodating, but I would appreciate additional assistance in streamlining my job search efforts.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Pathrise to anyone looking to jumpstart their career or transition into a new field. My experience with Pathrise has been exceptional. Therefore, I am giving them a 4-star review in recognition of their impact on my job search journey and the valuable resources they have provided.

Pathrise is a life-changing investment
The value added to my professional profile during my time with Pathrise is priceless. I have never felt more confident in my ability to get interviews and job offers, and the uncertainty I felt in transitioning from academia has been completely dispelled.
My mentors were world-class professionals. The amount of guidance and support I received will accelerate my carrer growth for years to come. And the connections I made with my mentors will last for a lifetime.
The dashboard platform is still in its early says technically, but the resources provided are well worth the occasional headache. Additionally, it would be nice if my coordinator didn't ghost me immediately after beginning the program.
All in all, I would recommend Pathrise to anyone struggling to land interviews and/or offers in their chosen field. They will work with you systematically to get you in track to your dream job. Providing all the resources and support you could ever need.

Touchpoints with Coaches and Mentors
Meeting with industry-centric professionals was truly helpful in my quest to finding new career opportunities. The resume workshops with my coach alongside engaging in mock-interviews with mentors provided me with the tools to succeed.

Highly recommended - founders are very customer centric
I started the program in December on the technical track and by January received a handful of competitive offers. My mentor was great because she was very supportive, even after I experienced bad interviews or received rejections. There's a lot of depth and breadth included in the program, so you'll want to be mindful of how you're spending time. The founders care deeply about the customer experience and I felt like any concerns or questions I had were quickly addressed. It's good to fully understand the pricing of the program before committing as that could trip some people up. Remember that it's still challenging to get a SWE job in this kind of market where layoffs and hiring freezes are frequent, but Pathrise will definitely provide a lot of mentorship and support behind you and that matters a lot when you're going into interviews. I definitely felt like I received value from the program and I'd strongly consider doing it again when I start my next job search.

Looking to be Ripped Off, Try PathRise
Boy Oh Boy, What a Rip-Off! I honestly don’t even believe the employees of this company believe in the product. I had been considering using Pathrise for some time yet I wasn’t sure if it met my needs. I had a call scheduled twice with an Admissions Manager, in which the second time he just failed to call and I gave up. Finally, I decided to try connecting with someone else and she was extremely helpful. Multiple times this Admissions counselor who was a Team Lead told me that my two weeks wouldn’t start until I met with a Career Mentor, for my free trial.
So I explored the platform for two days, and schedule a call with my Career Mentor. On the day of the scheduled call about 1-1.5 hours before the call, the mentor cancels the call and doesn’t even send me an email, just sends over an updated invitation. I felt that is kinda rude and not really courteous. Then I log into the link and low and behold the time has already started I have 6 days left in my free trial, so the idea that my free trial starts when I have this call is an absolute LIE! They get you into the free trial hoping you won’t see that clicker that’s now on for 6 days. I emailed to cancel my trial because it’s a rip-off and a joke.
Chatting with someone else considering using this service who won’t be using it has said, “I have spoken to a few leaders in the business and they say STAY AWAY!”
Also, so you’re aware this is definitely a rip-off. This company collects a supposed 8% on the program I was being signed up for the trial. 8% of $40,000 is supposed to be $3,200 but they are very shady and shifty because they're collecting it off your base salary and you pay $6,400 so they are collecting 50X more than they would if it was from your annual salary. The same goes for $156,000 per year, 8% is $12,480 and they're collecting $18,000 which is 12% of my income.
This is a rip-off.

I would love to talk with you, if you're willing, so that I can clear up any confusion in how the ISA was explained and connect you with folks who can support you immediately, starting your Trial over and giving you the support you deserve for 2 weeks so that you can get a more accurate idea of what Pathrise has to offer! I'm going to email you shortly - please look out for my message.
