How does the Pay-After-Hired option work?

How long does the mentorship program take?
The mentorship program is designed to be flexible and results-oriented. Most mentees complete the core sessions within 2-3 months, but Yiming provides ongoing support until you land your job. The timeline varies based on your starting point and how quickly you implement the guidance.
