Career coaching for people who are done being underpaid

Get in the room. Get what you're worth.

We've sat on both sides of the interview table and both sides of the negotiating table. Now we use that experience to help those just like you, to craft resumes that actually get chosen, interviews that actually get offers, and offers that actually reflect your value.

The two founders of The Unfair Leverage

We're highly paid executives who know how to play the game — and we're here to help you play it too.

Between us, we've spent over four decades interviewing for roles and negotiating pay, on both sides of the table. We've navigated this landscape ourselves, successfully, and we know exactly what separates an offer that reflects your value from one that doesn't.

We see too many capable people get undervalued once they start a new job, or passed over before they even get an interview, not because they're not good enough, but because their resume isn't in the right format, or nobody prepared them to negotiate. That's the gap we close.

How each service runs

No packaged templates. Every engagement starts from your specific background, your specific job description, or your specific offer letter.

Resume writing & re-writing

We start with an in-depth discovery of your background and achievements, then write and tailor the resume to the specific role you're targeting.

Interview prep

One hour on the phone before your interview, built directly from the job description. We cover the basics of the company and role, then run through live role-play for the questions you're most likely to face.
