Irina has been an exceptional mentor. She has been incredibly generous with her time and her mentorship has been invaluable. Thanks to her I understand the German labor market and industry better, and I feel more prepared to tackle my next analytics job. During our meetings, Irina always provided insightful feedback regarding my career transition and job search questions. She's been a major touchpoint during the last several months that we've worked together and I've appreciated this connection immensely.

Such a beautiful session - she provided me with more information about a university she attended and the same one I applied to. Really focused a lot more on the diversity and inclusion of companies and how to deal with it and touched a lot on portfolios and how best to present them. Thank you Miss Irina - absolutely enjoyed the session!

It was great. It made me think about perspectives that I haven't taken into account before (health care, family). It was also particularly useful for me to speak with you since you are an expat and I am planning to have a similar experience soon. You are very warm, very knowledgeable and you have an impressive experience. I appreciate your time very much and thank you for everything!
