I was on the fence about joining futr.prf system because I thought the modules wouldn't teach me anything dramatically different from what I already knew. A lot of the information you need about almost anything is free or cheap on the internet.
I finally decided to join after I had spent 3+ months in the recruiting process without any success. I was so engrossed in the material that I had finished the majority of the modules within a few weeks. It was surprisingly helpful to have everything laid out on one platform that I could constantly revisit. And there was definitely a lot of content that covered topics that I would otherwise have never known about.
I was able to land my current job after 1.5 months of actively job-searching. Even now, though I landed a full-time role, I still revisit the notes I took from the futr.prf system regularly to help guide me when I do research on other industries, ask professionals for informational interviews and more. I anticipate I will revisit the modules even more when I decide to make my next career move and apply for my next job.
In retrospect, the opportunity cost of slowly gathering high quality, free information might be thousands of dollars of compensation and years of experience. You also don't know what you don't know until you're exposed to it. The futr.prf system is an example of having most of your job-hunting needs in one place. It's great for recent grads or seniors, or those earlier in college to make yourself marketable in the workforce.

The futr.prf system was very helpful with valuable insights into each aspect of the process of a career path.
What I liked most was how everything flowed so smoothly.
The resume modules were my favorites because the template of answering 'why, how, and what' for each bullet point. As someone with limited work experience, that really helped me to frame a better narrative with what I do have. Although there was a lot of content, I liked that it was split up pretty evenly. The videos were pretty well paced and compact.
The modules did not just provide tools and resources helpful to launching one's career, but its preamble of assessing whether one is pursuing the right path for them was extremely insightful. It forced me to take time to think about what I actually like doing and whether it's a field I'd like to build a career in. I started thinking about and researching industries I'd like to work in based on my own interests.
I would highly recommend the modules!

I would rate the modules at 10 and would definitely recommend it to my friends. I haven't received such insightful advice about networking from other resources like my Universities or career modules.
I used to religiously attend networking sessions and career fairs; but I never knew how to actually connect with specific people who are working in my dream professions. In retrospect I was wasting my time!
I also loved the interview modules. It showed me exactly how to craft behavioral responses so creatively and specific to the job field. Overall I've liked everything about these modules -- it was elaborate yet organized.

Special Assistant at White House
As a military member about to separate, I was lost on the current state of the job market. I sent in dozens of applications and heard nothing back. Nishal taught me a process on how to better approach high level positions at desirable companies. Using his process I landed interviews at some of the biggest companies in the country and even a high level political position. I highly recommend Nishal.

Nishal helped me get multiple interviews with top defense tech companies. After deciding to pursue my own start up he's pointed me in the right direction and connected me with the right people.

Investment Banking
Nishal coached me through both investment banking recruiting and on-cycle private equity recruiting, and was a huge help throughout the process. He has a great way of explaining technical concepts - especially accounting, valuation, and M&A in a way that's easy to understand and actually stick. What really made a difference was how practical and focused his advice was.

The futr.prf system enabled me to go from reactive to proactive in my recruiting journey. The tactics are simple, but hard to actually execute. The foundational modules were well laid out that I knew exactly what to execute on. I went from graduating without a job to landing my dream role within 2 months. This would not have been possible because I simply would not have known what to do. Even today, I utilize the tactics, and am glad I spent the money to join the community.
