1-on-1 (Email) Consulting
How it works:
- Read the “Specific Services Offered” section below to make sure this is something I can help you with. If you’re not sure, send me an email of 2-3 sentences to ask.
- Go to the payment button and pay the $10 fee or $20 if you want faster response. (If you pay $20, put “$20” in the subject line)
- Email me (revy.at.home@proton.me) – your inquiry / request – that you paid, and how much – If you were sent by someone I sponsor, please mention them – If you would be okay if I post a heavily-censored-to-avoid-doxxing transcript of the consultation on my site? (see “past consultations”)
- I will provide whatever advice / technical consultation you’re looking for
- There will probably be a little back-and-forth afterwards to clarify things
Rate for the initial email plus some minor followup:
- Regular: $10. No guarantees on time, but if I haven’t responded in a week or so, send me a nudge. If you can afford it and really liked my advice, you can pay more afterwards if you want. If not, don’t.
- Rush: $20. For faster response. Again, if you can afford it and really liked my advice, you can pay more afterwards if you want. (Put “$20” in the subject line so I notice it and respond faster.)
- High schoolers applying for college: Free, but if you can pay that would be appreciated, even if that’s years later after you get on your feet
Note that my “standard” rate is $100/h, these are discounts because I’m trying to help the MGTOW community. Not free because I don’t want to open the sperg faucet completely, but still low enough to be borderline free.
Don’t hesitate to ask for refund if I’m not able to provide good advice. (No garuntee, but so far, between Project Waifu and this, I haven’t refused any refunds.)
Specific Services Offered:
1) TECH CAREER CONSULTING
I’ve been wildly successful in my own career. I have achieved more in my 20s than most people will achieve in their entire life, and people are typically surprised when I tell them my age. I can pass some of this success on to you.
- Plan to get into the tech industry without a college degree
- How to advance your tech career
- Resume review, personalized interview tips (Please send your resume as word, google doc, libreoffice. Something that I can edit. Do NOT send it as PDF.)
- Plan to get work as a 1099 freelance consultant, including legal paperwork
- Plan to create a tech startup, including legal paperwork
- See below for the “Big Helpful Career + Academics Guide” that covers more of these topics. I highly recommend reading the relevant sections before using this service, which is intended more for 1-on-1 advice.
Requests should follow the approximate format:
- Current situation
- Where you want to go
- What have you attempted to do / are currently doing to try to get there
Disclaimer: Admittedly, I am a freak outlier in terms of my achievements. This means that techniques that worked for me might not work for you. I will try to give you the best advice I can while taking this into account regardless.
Disclaimer: I’m kind of blunt. Party because I focus more on “correct” solutions than emotional motivations, but partly to shock people out of doing stupid stuff. I’ve gotten feedback of “4/5 stars, knowledgeable and a domain expert, but kind of rude”. Anyways, don’t ask for my help if that’s going to be a problem.
2) ACADEMIC CAREER CONSULTING
I’ve been extremely good at manipulating the academic system, both for myself and my mentees. From getting admissions into prestigious engineering programs to petitioning courses to minimize workload and maximize GPA.
For high-schoolers (free):
Free, but if you can pay that would be appreciated, even if that’s years later after you get on your feet.
- Standardized testing advice (how to study, when to take, which ones to sign up for)
- Undergraduate-level college admissions essays (I will help you write a really good one)
- There’s an art to it, which I can teach you. For how important these things are to college admissions, it pains me how little effort people put into these compared to “normal” highschool courses.
For college students:
- Planning academic course schedules: I would tell you to not trust your academic advisor, but you probably already know that. Advice I’ll give you includes things like:
- If there’s a “weed-out” class, take it at another school over the summer and transfer the credit in.
- Petition courses into your schedule that you know will be easy As.
- Getting into research labs, getting academic publications, research grants, patents
- Admissions to graduate programs (master’s, phd).
- There’s a lot more space for “bending rules” here than there are for undergrad admissions, but you need to take proactive steps, well before (several months before) the admissions period.
See below for the ““Big Helpful Career + Academics Guide”” that covers more of these topics. I highly recommend reading the relevant sections before using this service, which is intended more for 1-on-1 advice.
3) TECH PRODUCT IDEA EVALUATION / DESIGN ROADMAP
Technical Product Feasibility
I can evaluate your tech product ideas for feasibility, or point you towards more feasible alternatives. With only a brief interaction with me, I can either:
- Explain (in very technical terms) why your idea is stupid and save you a ton of wasted time. (Admittedly, 90% of ideas fall in this category. No you’re not getting a refund if you’re one of these people.)
- Give you a game plan that will drastically reduce the amount of trial and error you need to do. (Don’t expect me to do the actual work for you. That would be billed at my full rate of $100/h and will take A LOT of hours)
Note: My specialty is HARDWARE products. That is, you have to have a physical product. If your product is software-only, I can help you, but that’s not really my specialty. I’ll probably end up sending you to someone who’s actually a pure software engineer.
Note: I often get feedback of ““4/5 stars, knowledgeable and a domain expert, but kind of rude””. Anyways, don’t ask for my help if that’s going to be a problem.
Startup Ideas
If you want to create a tech startup but don’t have ideas, I have a list of “good” startup ideas. The disclaimer is that all my ideas involve a certain amount of technical skill for you to pull off. So if you have no engineering skills whatsoever, you won’t be able to execute on them.
Note that this advice contrasts with Aaron Clarey’s advice, who says “if I had a good idea, I wouldn’t tell you”. I disagree with this advice. IMO, assuming a certain amount of industry knowledge and technical still, there are more “good ideas” than there is time in the day to pursue. I generally shelve almost all of my “good ideas” because I don’t have enough time to commercialize them.
Some of these ideas, I have already done a good amount of the design work for. However, there is still a significant amount more work required to “bring them to market” that I am too lazy to do.
I’ll try to connect you with other people that you might be able to work together with if I can.
4) UNRELATED OTHER STUFF
-
Surrogacy for men who want to have kids without the risk of losing them in divorce (free, but you do have to have ~$70,000 in the bank). If you’re looking for a general document rather than specific questions, check out my surrogacy guide here.
