Tanya Rodchenko Career CoachingReviews of tanyarodchenko.com

Working with Tanya was honestly one of the best decisions I made for my career after moving to the US. Coming into the US job market with only international experience felt completely overwhelming. After a long break following my move, I had lost my direction – I was anxious, second-guessing myself, and honestly at a point where I was ready to settle for just about any job just to get my foot in the door. I was also worried that Tanya mostly worked with professionals with established US careers, but she completely put those fears to rest right away. Right from the start, her professionalism gave me so much confidence. Before our first session, she sent a formal service agreement and a deep-dive intake questionnaire. It wasn't just a basic form with standard questions; she really took the time to dig into the details of my situation. By our very first call, she already understood my background and came prepared with concrete ideas for our roadmap. We built a clear strategy focused on three specific career tracks. Every week, she assigned structured homework between our sessions – from updating my career positioning and breaking down my past achievements to crafting tailored CV versions for each track. These assignments were incredible for keeping me accountable and helped me gain a much deeper understanding of my own strengths. I was dealing with heavy impostor syndrome, a fear of not having "big enough" accomplishments, and hesitation around corporate English. Tanya created a non-judgmental, safe environment where I felt completely supported. Since all our sessions were held in English, it naturally dissolved my anxiety and polished my business communication. By the time we wrapped up our 5th session, I had several job offers on the table and was interviewing with multiple companies. The polished resume versions we worked on yielded an amazing response rate. Tanya is not just an exceptionally skilled career coach; she is an incredible source of mental support. I’ve already recommended her to a friend who is also thrilled with their results. If you are looking for top-tier expertise and real, tangible outcomes, I cannot recommend her enough!

Tanya helped me a great deal! I was finishing my PhD and looking for a job in the industry. We had an introductory call, when we carefully discussed the possible strategies for my case and how to leverage my background. She was very supportive and I would recommend her to anyone who thinks they can get a good job, but they don't know.

Have had quite a few sessions with Tanya so far on developing as a chief executive. Tanya is helping me with delegation, transition to a new role, and getting my mindset to a proper state. I like that Tanya delivers practical tips and methodologies on sessions instead of generic advice. Tanya is approaching sessions very responsibly and overall a very useful advisor for a vast range of cases due to her experience. Highly recommended!

I worked with Tanya during a career transition, when I was trying to clarify what I wanted to do next and translate that into a focused job search. She has been extremely helpful at both the strategic and practical levels. Tanya helped me get much more specific about the types of roles and companies I should target, sharpen the narrative around my experience, and improve how I presented that story in my resume and conversations with employers. She also connected me directly with several relevant companies and helped me secure a near-term contract opportunity while I continue pursuing the right full-time role. What I find particularly valuable is that Tanya is very much a “playing coach.” Her advice is grounded in real experience rather than generic career frameworks, so she is willing to get into the details of a particular opportunity, message, interview, or decision and give a clear point of view on what to do next. I would particularly recommend her to experienced professionals who have built a strong career but are trying to figure out what the next chapter should look like and how to pursue it effectively.

Tanya brings clarity and structure to a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming. She understands the nuances of my situation, and as a working mom herself, she gets many of my concerns without much explanation. Her coaching feels genuinely tailored and very actionable. She also has a strong read on the current job market and the art of networking. Her advice is especially valuable because she understands the challenges of transitioning out of consulting and choosing the right next step. I’m still in the middle of the process, but I already feel more empowered, confident, and ready to make things happen.

Working with Tanya has been a genuinely valuable experience for my career. She has helped me identify a clear career direction, using several exercises and techniques that push me to think beyond my first instinct. From there, she has helped me build out concrete next steps, working together on tailoring my CV, preparing for applications, and figuring out how to build a network and connect with the right people. What I appreciate most is how structured her approach is. At every stage, you know exactly where you are and where you're heading under her guidance, which makes an often overwhelming process feel manageable. She's also incredibly transparent -- whatever question you bring to a session, she answers it clearly and practically, without vague generalities. On top of that, she draws on real examples and insights from her own career path, so her advice never feels theoretical. Everything she suggests is practical and something you can actually apply. Highly recommend her if you're navigating a career transition.

Amazing experience with Tanya! I was not sure which career path to choose: spin off, startup or corp career. Tanya helped me to structure the approach to finding a new job, highlighted my CV strengths and weaknesses. Highly recommend!

I am moving to the US with my wife to pursue an MBA at Yale. Given such a drastic shift in objectives, I desperately needed someone who could help me gather my thoughts, bring structure to the chaos, and clearly map out the path forward. I found Tanya through recommendations and genuinely consider it a stroke of good fortune. She is incredibly engaged, grasps things instantly, and is precise about goal-setting and execution, yet at the same time, she is incredibly empathetic. I have spoken with her both individually and together with my wife. We work on everything from defining long- and short-term goals to handling specific tactical tasks. She structures everything exceptionally well and helps with defining and breaking down tasks, but—crucially—she is truly invested in your success, and that really comes through. We have already done a lot of work together, and I hope to continue working with her for a long time.
