Elite Career Coaching for AI Researchers

Rora helped me to negotiate all of 6 offers I received during my PhD graduation recruitment time. The negotiation tactics helped me maximize every offer, and negotiated offers were then used to negotiate further offers that occurred afterwards. Rora's recommendations were effective, timely, and personable. I felt I was able to get the most value for myself while building a strong relationship with the hiring team and technical team at every company.

Rora was greatly helpful in my negotiations! Not only did Rora help me increase my compensation package, they also provided a tremendous amount of emotional support throughout the process, and I can't imagine how stressed I would have been without them.

Rora helped me to increased my equity to the numbers that I would not have asked on my own. I was prepared me for all the calls, helped me to draft the arguments, emails, and supported me during the process.

The Rora team has been phenomenal from day one to the end of negotiations/job search. From planning the application timeline to working out negotiation scenarios, they consistently provided quality/timely advice that made a difference in my negotiation outcome. Highly recommended.

I reached the goal that I didn't imagine could come true. I would highly recommend Rora, especially if you're a fresh grad phd, because this is an area that they specialize in, and very few (if any) other firm has expertise on.

When you thought that you have overcome the interview hurdle, the negotiation process that follows can prove equally challenging. Up against recruiters who are well familiar with the process, I've encountered a range of tactics from deadline pressure, threat of offer withdrawal, to being dropped from a matched team. Working with a Rora Advocate meant having a guide to navigate through this tricky process. We worked together to develop a game-plan at every step, giving me the confidence to take more calculated risks with the recruiters. The result was a significant increase to my base salary, equity and sign-on bonus.

The most valuable part was having the current database in terms of major and compensation. So when I hear those numbers I know how much room I can push. Walking away from the offer, timing matters a lot. It's hard to walk away when you aren't sure what the consequences would be. You don't have enough background information on the candidates from levels.fyi. You have a very updated view on the market with Rora

I believe that had I not worked with Rora, my final offer would likely have been over $50k below the offer I accepted (or perhaps even over $100k below). Rora was super helpful in many ways throughout the process: (1) They provided helpful advice on setting timelines for the interview/offer/negotiation processes, (2) they provided a ton of useful data about previous offers Rora clients had received, and used this data to help me know what I should ask for at various points during my negotiation process, and (3) they helped me be calm and prepared during all of my calls with recruiters and hiring managers, by helping me write scripts and better know what to expect from these calls. I would highly recommend Rora to anyone who is going through a job search!

Rora was very understanding and respectful of my accelerated timeline and desire to push for something right away. I am grateful for the support and guidance they provided me as I was able to interview, negotiate and accept a final offer with a significantly improved amount of compensation.

I learned a tremendous amount about my employers and future managers by negotiating and going through Rora's process. I also believe that this will help me negotiate with my employer (and others) in the future. In sum, Rora helped me to recognize my value as a professional and to set the bar high for my employer and future roles as well. This not only significantly increases your present-day income but also all future income as well as how you perceive your individual value. Truly transformative!

Rora has lot of experience with negotiation processes across companies, and so have data on pay packages and great advice on how to better structure asks based on qualifications / leverage. I highly recommend them!
