Who is Unni Edge designed for?

This is for you if you're an Asian woman in tech (ages 23-30) who's done being the "quiet, hardworking one" and ready to claim your seat at the table. Whether you just graduated and feel like you're drowning in imposter syndrome, or you're a few years in and tired of watching less qualified people get promoted around you—if you're juggling family expectations with your own ambitions while trying to figure out this whole "professional Asian woman" thing, we need to talk.

How is Unni Edge different from other mentorship programs?

Most mentorship programs are basically group therapy with motivational posters. Unni Edge is just you and me—no awkward networking mixers, no sharing your deepest career insecurities with strangers. I get the specific weirdness of being an Asian woman in Silicon Valley (yes, even the part where people assume you're in engineering when you're actually running product or in sales). We'll work on the tactical stuff—negotiation, executive presence, political navigation—while also untangling the identity knots that come with breaking stereotypes and family expectations. It's a career strategy meets cultural therapy, minus the generic advice about "leaning in."

What can I expect from the mentoring sessions?

Want to vent about your micromanaging boss? Let's do it. Need a structured roadmap for world domination (aka career advancement)? I've got templates. We can freestyle through whatever's keeping you up at night, or dive deep into the good stuff: executive presence that commands respect, workplace politics you actually want to play, negotiation tactics that work, and building a long-term vision that doesn't involve burnout. Bring your messiest challenges and wildest ambitions—this is your space to figure it out without judgment.

If you’d like to schedule a free, 30-minute introduction, please contact me.

How long does the program last?

Many people like the full transformation package—6 to 12 months of going from "please notice me" to "obviously I belong here." But maybe you just need a quick confidence injection or someone to talk you off the ledge before your next performance review. Whatever works for your life and career chaos, we'll make it happen.

How is a mentor different than using AI?

Sure, ChatGPT can spit out generic career advice, but it's never had to smile through being called "articulate" as a backhanded compliment or navigate being the only woman of color in a room full of tech bros. I bring real intuition from actually living this stuff, plus the ethical backbone to tell you when to push back and when to pick your battles. Sometimes you need someone who gets the cultural tightrope walk—and knows how to turn it into your superpower.
