How to Use a Career Reverse Engineering Strategy

Lucas and Luna explore a powerful career strategy: reverse engineering your dream role from the job description of someone five years ahead of you. They break down a concrete example—a senior marketing manager targeting a VP of Marketing role at a mid-size B2B SaaS company—and show how to map required skills, identify gaps, and build a 12-month learning plan. Listeners learn how to use LinkedIn job postings, industry reports, and informational interviews to create a personal roadmap. Lucas shares a specific method from his own career transition into business journalism, including how he targeted the 'write daily, under deadline' skill. Luna adds a counterpoint on avoiding perfectionism and staying flexible. No fluff, just a repeatable framework for career growth. #CareerGrowth #ReverseEngineering #CareerStrategy #JobSearch #ProfessionalDevelopment #SkillBuilding #CareerPlanning #LinkedIn #JobDescriptions #CareerGoals #Marketing #VPofMarketing #B2BSaaS #CareerTransition #LearningPlan #Mentorship #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
