Say goodbye to your “perfect on paper” job and hello to a “perfect for you” career
Career coaching by high achievers for high achievers looking to redefine success on their own terms
Are you feeling…
Unfulfilled in your career?
You’ve checked every box—graduated from a top university, landed a prestigious job, earned an impressive title, and bring home a big paycheck. On paper, everything looks perfect. But deep down, you’re asking yourself: “Is this really it? Is this all my career was meant to be?”
Limited by career choices?
Maybe you grew up believing your only options were finance, law, or medicine—and now you’re stuck, unsure what other fulfilling careers could be a better fit for your skills and passions.
Lost about your true goals?
You’re great at pleasing others, meeting expectations, and chasing external success—but when it comes to your own dreams, you have no idea what they are?
Escaping instead of thriving?
Do you find yourself splurging on luxury goods, planning exotic holidays, or filling your calendar with distractions—just to justify why you’re still in a career that doesn’t light you up?
If any of this resonates, then the Ctrl Alt Career coaching program was designed for you. We specialize in career coaching for professionals in Singapore and Hong Kong, helping high achievers stuck in prestigious but unfulfilling roles identify their next chapter.

Why Work With Us?
1) We've Been In Your Shoes
We are a team of high achievers who were frustrated with our careers just like you. We’ve graduated from the top universities across the world and have had that “perfect on paper” job in big name companies like BlackRock, Google, Goldman Sachs, Nike, etc… But we weren't happy settling for good enough. We all wanted more in our careers but also felt guilty for not being more grateful with a job so many people would kill for. So we get it. We get you. We’ve all now managed to get to the other side and have built fulfilling careers we love and we’d love to help you get there too.
2) Not Textbook Knowledge But Lived Experience
We’re not here to regurgitate concepts from a textbook or a self help book. Because we’ve all had lived experiences and come out the other side through years of trial and error, we know how to help you in a way that no self help book or Youtube video can. We know our method works because we've put it to the test for our own careers and honed it over the past few years working with hundreds of clients.
3) Not Another HR professional Offering Bandaid solutions

We have coached over 150+ high achievers from Google, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey and more to pivot from their “perfect on paper” job into a “perfect for you” career that they wake up EXCITED about.

To get results fast, you need a duplicable system and accountability. Our coaching style is results driven and action oriented. We don't waste time going through fluffy concepts trying to make you feel good but leave you still feeling lost.

Along the way we’ve built an incredible community of high achievers from different industries, functions and seniority - each dedicated to building a career that aligns with their own definition of success (even if it challenges societal norms).

What People Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The Ctrl Alt Career Program was a great help when I was stuck between staying on in my current job or accepting an attractive offer from a successful startup. My career coach was an excellent listener and empathizer, and always asked the right questions that helped me contextualize my priorities and identify whether those were genuinely aligned with my long term interests or whether I was a victim of my own personal biases. And subsequently, how to factor those into my career decisions.
I always came away from our conversations feeling like I knew myself a little better.
For young, driven professionals, navigating career paths can often be a challenge and I highly recommend Ctrl Alt Career for anyone looking for a change.”
— B, BlackRock
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I have thoroughly enjoyed the Ctrl Alt Career coaching program. My career coach was excellent at cutting through the noise to crystallise the essence of the matter, be it uncovering the underlying limiting belief, motivation, strengths and weaknesses.
I love how the program lends a structured approach to analysing job prospects, it has been useful in weighing my options in a more measurable way.
I love my career coach’s enthusiasm and sincerity. This process of pivoting can get exhausting at times and she has been encouraging throughout, she celebrates my wins and seems way happier about it than I am haha. I truly appreciate having her on my team!
— Cindy, Accenture
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My career coach’s genuine interest in helping her clients understand their career goals is evident. She is great at shepherding our conversations towards career topics important to me without being prescriptive. I definitely felt that my thoughts & concerns were being heard and after going through the Ctrl Alt Career Program, came away with clear and actionable steps to explore & craft my dream career.
In my case, I was struggling to identify what my passions were, but had a fairly comfortable and engaging current role. Through working with my coach inside the Ctrl Alt Career Program, she was able to help me identify what skills used of my past & current roles resonated with me and how to vet whether careers using those skills might interact with my true values (instead of internalized beliefs).
For anyone who is ready to do a deep-dive to answer if their career is aligned with their values and what to do if not, I'd definitely recommend the Ctrl Alt Career Program.”
