1:1 CAREER AUDIT & STRATEGY CALL
A 30-minute call with Dr. Rick Sturdivant to figure out exactly what's secretly
holding your career back, and what to do about it Monday morning.
In 30 Minutes, You'll Walk Away With:
An honest read on where your career actually stands, and what's secretly holding you back that nobody at work will tell you.
A specific diagnosis of the gap between where you are and the next level (Senior, Staff, Principal, Director, wherever you're aiming).
A prioritized 90-day action plan built around your role, your manager, and your company. Not generic advice.
Direct insight from someone who's been on the other side of the table, hiring, promoting, and developing engineers for 35 years.
One clear next move to make Monday.
How The Career Strategy Call Works
STEP ONE
Book a time below using my calendar.
STEP TWO
Fill out a short intake (~5 minutes) so I show up to our call already knowing your situation.
STEP THREE
We meet on Google Meet for 30 minutes. No pitch. No fluff. Just diagnosis and direction.
STEP FOUR
You'll get a written summary of the action plan within 24 hours.
Are You Struggling In Your Career?
A 1:1 audit isn't for everyone. It's built for engineers who are technically strong but quietly stuck. If you see yourself in any of these, we should talk:
The senior engineer who's been "almost ready for Staff" for two years now
The software engineer leading projects without the title or the pay
The aerospace or defense engineer watching less-talented peers get promoted ahead of you
The mid-level engineer who's technically excellent but invisible to leadership
The team's go-to problem-solver who keeps getting "great job, keep it up" but never the promotion
The engineer at a big company (Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, FAANG) who feels lost in the org chart
If any of this sounds like you, you don't have a performance problem. You have a strategy problem, and 30 minutes is enough to start fixing it.
ABOUT DR. RICK STURDIVANT
35 years in engineering... I learned the
hard way what nobody teaches you.
I've spent 35 years as an engineer, founding and leading an 8-figure technology company, serving as Chief Technology Officer, and teaching physics, engineering, and mathematics at Cal Poly Pomona, Azusa Pacific University, and Vanguard University.
I've seen brilliant engineers get passed over. I've watched technically average peers climb faster than people twice their ability. And I've spent years understanding exactly why.
The gap isn't talent. It's visibility, communication, and knowing how decisions about your career actually get made. That's what nobody teaches engineers, and that's exactly what I built the Engineer Career Accelerator to fix.
