Questions people bring
A few typical ones. You can bring any of them to a one-question consultation or work through them as part of a full strategy.
(01)
I’ve spent 10 years in operations and want to move into product. Which roles are realistic with my background — and which aren’t?
(02)
I’ve been job hunting for six months and barely hear back from employers. Is it my resume, the roles I apply for, or my whole approach?
(03)
I have two offers: a bigger title at a startup or a safer role at a large company. Which sets my career up better three years from now?
(04)
I moved to Canada a year ago after 12 years in finance. What level can I realistically target — and will I have to step down?

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH
20 years on the hiring side
I’m Tatiana Tsyganova. I spent over twenty years in talent acquisition — hiring people and building TA functions from scratch, from startups to IBM, across Russia, Ireland, Switzerland, Canada, the US and Argentina. For the last 15 years I’ve worked with the Canadian and US markets.
I’ve watched thousands of career moves from the other side of the table: who gets hired into a new field, who makes the jump to the next level, and why one of two similar candidates gets the offer. In our session I look at your situation exactly that way — through the eyes of the person making the hiring decision.

FAQ
If you have one specific question (an offer, a gap, a choice between two options), a 45‑minute consultation is enough. If you’re unsure where to go overall (which country, which role, which level), you need a strategy. If in doubt, book a free call and we’ll decide together.
Yes, that’s exactly what it’s for. Before we meet I review your experience; during the session we compare realistic options. You leave with 1–2 priority directions and a clear plan.
Canada and the US most of all: I’ve worked with these markets for over 15 years and hired for them myself. I’ve also worked in Ireland, Switzerland and Argentina. If your question is about another country, I’ll tell you honestly where my expertise is strong enough and where it isn’t.
Yes, if the question is which path is more realistic with your experience. We’ll compare scenarios from a job-market perspective: where your experience is valued, what the risks and timelines are for each. I don’t write business plans or help launch a business.
In the full strategy format, yes: a written document with priority tracks, target roles and countries, positioning and a 4–6 week plan. After a one-question consultation you get short written takeaways and next steps.
In a strategy we define how to position your experience for a new market. A line-by-line review of your resume and LinkedIn is a separate service. If your direction is already clear, it makes sense to start there.
English, French or Russian — whichever works best for you.
Yes, if you let me know at least 48 hours in advance. We’ll find another time at no extra cost.
No, and an honest coach won’t promise that: the result depends on the market, your experience and how you follow the plan. What I do guarantee is a clear picture of what’s realistic for you and concrete next steps, based on 20 years on the hiring side.
