It was a delightful experience working with Soham during my MBA program at IE in 2023. Throughout this time, I aimed to transition into the tech industry while enhancing my capabilities to seize opportunities in Europe. Soham played a pivotal role as my professional mentor, consistently going beyond expectations to ensure I comprehended how to strategize my job search effectively. Moreover, during moments of uncertainty about my future, he provided unwavering encouragement and support.
I wholeheartedly endorse Soham's four-step process to streamline and reduce the stress of job searching, particularly for fellow students. His expertise is top-notch, and I highly recommend anyone seeking guidance in their career endeavors to learn from him.
I cannot recommend working with Soham enough as a career coach, whom I met during my time MBA at IE Business School this past year. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the job market and career search but created an environment of positivity, encouragement, and support. With his help and guidance, I was able to secure a position in just under a month at a consulting firm in the USA. His guidance is most effective because he provides clear, actionable tasks and breaks down the (at times mysterious-seeming) job search in a digestible and manageable way which gave me confidence as a candidate. On top of all of this, he celebrated my wins and tailored our sessions/actions to meet my needs which I greatly appreciated. If given the chance, you should definitely take the opportunity to work with Soham!
Soham Mohidekar is my Technology mentor during /after my MBA at IE Business School, Madrid. He guided me , not only throughout the process of job searching, cv customization and job applications, but also to believe in myself and reaching my personal goals. During my MBA I decided I wanted to change my career path from Retail and consumer good´s companies, where I had more than 5 years of experience in South America, towards the Tech Market in Europe. Many counselors during my MBA advised me to focus on finding a job in Retail as it was going to be easier and not to waste time trying to change industries. However, it was thanks to Soham that I was able to be true to myself and my goals and to apply to every tech company, well known companies or start ups, that would allow me to enter the Tech Industry in Europe and to develop correctly my career as I wanted. Guided by his methods, I was able to obtain more than 8 processes, more than 14 interviews, 4 final interviews and finally, my dream job at an International Tech Company here in Madrid. I would strongly recommend Soham for any industry, not just Tech. Not only he is charismatic, empathetic and approachable, He will take your processes as if it was his and following his methods, it will only depend up to you to have a job. A true example of a Great Mentor and how it is extremely necessary in everyone lives.

Generalist skilled in product management, operations and project management with 10+ years experience in scale-up companies I Focused on the intersection between technology and creativity I had the privilege of working with Soham as a career coach during my MBA at IE Business School in 2023. I was looking to leverage my experience and skills in the entertainment and tech sectors to relocate to Europe. Soham was a critical resource to me, not only in understanding my past experience and how to break it down into modules, but also in understanding the general landscape and opportunities available in the European context. With his years of experience he has developed a simple 4 step process to make the job search process easier and less stressful, resulting in higher quality applications and better results. Many times I would find myself saying, "just trust the process and follow the steps" and soon enough the results were evident. On the personal front Soham was able to help assuage some of my fears and insecurities and was there as a listening ear and advice giver.
Soham is a great resource when navigating the tech job market in Europe. Not only is he knowledgeable in the industry but he also provides job searching tips and tricks that are easy to implement and effective. I met Soham while pursuing my MBA at the Rotterdam School of Management this year. I attended two sessions with Soham that were geared towards searching for jobs in the tech industry. Although my job search was not strictly focused on the tech space, I found his advice to be helpful across industries. During the sessions he shared a straightforward methodology related to obtaining referrals, applying for jobs, and tailoring resumes. When I began utilizing his techniques, I found the job search process to be less intimidating and I also saw a larger conversion of applications to interviews. I definitely recommend reaching out to Soham!
Soham was extremely helpful as a mentor while I was applying for jobs. He guided me on every step during the whole process. He would listen to me patiently and then provide insightful feedbacks.

As part of IE’s career team, Soham was an extremely helpful and resourceful advisor. He has the ability to understand the context before giving an advice and is capable to analyze each element of a future challenge. Thank you Soham.
My first interaction with Soham was when I was pursuing my MBA at IE and scheduled a coaching session with him to crack a tech company in Europe and make it there! Soham isn't just a coach but also creates a support system that makes him extremely approachable and amicable in his ways. He doesn't shy away from giving tough facts which are beneficial for you and help you introspect in your ways. With his positive mindset coupled with his analytical approach- Soham truly does work towards the goals you have set for - in my case being able to crack a job in a tech company (Booking.com) in their marketing department in Amsterdam; within 2 months of my graduation. Would highly recommend Soham as a career mentor!
"Looking for a job is a job in itself"- Organizing career focused events as the President of the IE Big Data & AI Club, I often heard this line from various speakers. However, Soham was the only one who broke down the actual process on how to navigate the European job market and successfully land a job. With clear insights on how to develop a job search schedule to how to customize resumes to job requirements, he's always helped students streamline their efforts on the issues that mattered to ultimately landing the jobs they desired. If and when I move to Europe, I know whose services I'll be enlisting. 🙂
I met Soham through the IE network while getting my MBA. He was very helpful by sharing his personal experience so I could define milestones in my job search. He then became my Career Advisor at IE and conducted mock interviews to help me prepare. He is very structured and methodical in his approach, which in turn helped me sharpen my communication skills for real interviews. I appreciate how direct he is, as well as his industry knowledge and experience which helped me transition from the hospitality industry into tech. In the end I received 2 job offers in tech companies in New York City. He’s a fantastic addition to the IE career advising network! Thanks Soham!!!
I approached Soham when I was struggling with my application process. I had a lot of interviews but not even one conversion. How Soham helped me was to look at the application process from a different perspective and the change in outlook just boosted my confidence in the interviews. Only after 3 sessions, I had 3 offers. I would definitely recommend connecting with him if you are someone who is finding this process overwhelming. The right guidance and a knowledgeable mentor would just make this a whole lot easier!
Soham has been an amazing Career Advisor during my MBA at IE Business School.

I had the pleasure of seeking mentorship from Soham during a major stumbling block in any person's life, a perfect job search! His contributions to securing the ideal job were highly valued. Seeking Soham's advice throughout the process was a constant source of motivation. "Looking for the perfect job is like running a marathon, not a race," was one of the sentences that got me going at any given time. It can be a long and mentally draining process at times, but having a highly energetic and supportive mentor does go a long way. After speaking with Soham, I was able to land the ideal role for me in just three months. I've benefited greatly from collaborating with Soham during my journey to find the perfect job, and I know that anyone looking for mentorship for their career would benefit greatly from doing so.
I came across Soham’s profile by chance and I am so glad I did! I just landed my dream job in Netherlands (while sitting in India) and I can’t thank him enough. He made sure he was there all along from my first coaching call till the time I received my offer letter. His coaching includes everything from busting myths about building a career in Europe, knowing which job profiles might suit you, resume building tactics, the most effective and proven way to apply for jobs, landing the first call, polishing interview skills, negotiating the offer, etc. His coaching curriculum has a structure that will give you practical tools to land a job, and his coaching style is so charismatic it will push you to believe in yourself, know your capabilities and get that dream job you’ve always coveted. I will forever be grateful for Soham’s guidance and his confidence in me. If you’re looking for a career coach, he’s your man!
I got in touch with Soham before joining my MIM program at IE Business School and looking at my journey so far, he’s been nothing less than a great mentor! He guided me throughout my job hunt process - from helping me gain clarity regarding job profiles to explaining me the correct strategy for CV & Cover letter preparation and conducting my mock interviews, he always went an extra mile to make sure I’m progressing the right way! Also, despite his busy schedule he always managed to take out ample amount of time for our sessions, his availability played a huge support in my job hunt process! As an Indian student in Europe I felt the extreme stress of competition specially when it comes to work visa sponsorship, at those times Soham made sure to always motivate me and pull me up, which makes me believe that he’s not only a great mentor but also an amazing career coach!
Soham has immensely helped me during my job search phase to break down big problems into smaller structured ones and then strategize my job hunt. He equipped me with some of the finest strategies that can help me land jobs in whatever field I prefer. Soham also motivated me in the hard times and now when I look back, I see how far I have come, which seemed to be almost impossible at first. I was really surprised at the outputs of the strategies that Soham helped me to apply and I have never seen this approach before. He is out of box thinker and comes up with solutions even to critical issues that a person may encounter. In short, Soham has made it all easy for me! I strongly recommend choosing Soham as your mentor.
