Philip Lakin

Hello! So nice to see you here. If we haven't met yet here is a bit about me: By day, I'm a Solutions Architect at Compass. By night, I'm a No Code maker and the Founder & CEO of Propulsion Lab.

I love the startup world and the people in it. As our community has been hit pretty hard by the economic impacts of COVID-19, I would like to offer my time, free of charge, to those that need help in bouncing back:

If you are currently seeking new job opportunities in the tech startup space, I'd love work with you in a one-on-one interview strategy and prep session. I can also help get you more proficient with automation tools that make you a more attractive candidate to potential employers. As a Bar Raiser at Compass and 3x startup founder, I have interviewed candidates for countless roles. There is ZERO COST for this. No strings attached and no up-sell. I myself have been a part of a mass lay-off before and know how tough it it can be, and I'd like to help where/how I can.

All the best,
Phil
