New Product Launch: Managing Your Career
Welcome to In the Trenches. It’s great to have thousands of you here. My goal with this newsletter is to be all signal and no noise. To that end, make sure you let me know each week how you liked the content.
It's been ~4 months since I started writing to you all weekly and the reception has been more than I could have imagined! Over 10,000 folks have subscribed; better yet, every week I receive tons of messages from you all on your challenges, backgrounds and aspirations - it's really fulfilling.
I started this newsletter because I am super passionate about teaching and sharing. A large part of the reason I have written so consistently on the internet over the past few years is because I want to help millions of people build the career of their dreams.
In that spirit I’m trying a new experiment - I am putting together a comprehensive course that will give people all the tools they need to really take control of your career. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I have heard over the past 4 months since starting the newsletter is "I wish there was a place where all your writing was consolidated in a concise actionable format. Something I could refer to whenever I needed to dig on something specific in my life"
So I decided to try to build it. The course will cover everything I wish someone told me (including major lessons I learned at Harvard Law, McKinsey, and in scaling a business to $50M+ in revenue and exiting to private equity).
It won't be like usual online courses - it will be much more specific, focused and structured. Think tactical tools and strategic frameworks that set you up for success in answering each of the most important career questions. My intention with this project is to accelerate you by years - if we do this right, it should help you avoid painful mistakes and level up more quickly to achieve your goals.
I am collecting feedback to make sure this course is as helpful and effective as I know it can be.
I have created a survey to get your feedback and would love if you would fill it out.
If you are in the first 100 to fill out this survey, we will meaningfully discount the price of the course! Below is the course outline:
1. Learn how to choose the right day job
- How to set goals for your career
- How to identify top companies
- How to get in touch with the right people
- How to stand out so companies want to hire you
- How to choose the right offer for you
- How to negotiate to maximize your upside
2. Learn how to thrive at work
- How to solve (the right problems) and make a massive impact
- How to deal with an ineffective manager
- How to gain leadership visibility
- How to position yourself to get promoted
- How to give on and off track feedback
- How to demonstrate leadership skills and become an exceptional manager
3. Learn how to get ahead outside of your day job
- How to build a powerful network
- How to build an internet presence
- How to build skills that will add value to your career
- How to start an income generating side business
I wish I had all of these lessons, frameworks and tactics available to me in one comprehensive format earlier in my career. As I mentioned above, if we do this right, it should help you avoid painful mistakes and level up more quickly to achieve your goals. Let me know your thoughts!
Until next week,
Romeen

Welcome to In the Trenches. It’s great to have thousands of you here. My goal with this newsletter is to be all signal and no noise. To that end, make sure you let me know each week how you liked the content. I am a firm believer that most people can achieve an order of magnitude more than they believe. Why? Because over the last 15 years, I have seen so many normal people achieve incredible outcomes. It is true that many of these outcomes have had a flavor of luck in them. But luck was only...
