Mid-career professionals everywhere are hitting “invisible walls”—applying endlessly, stuck in senior roles, or watching others leap ahead while they feel overlooked, overwhelmed, and full of self-doubt. Traditional advice—bootcamps, LeetCode grind, more certifications—only makes it worse. It’s like trying to unlock a door with the wrong key.
But what if you could rewire how you think, lead, and present your value? In this episode, Taha Hussain (ex-Microsoft, Yahoo, SAP) reveals the mindset shifts and emotional intelligence secrets that help engineers break through plateaus and land high-impact roles—even in a tough market.
