Sarah Ing

Career Coach For Mid-Senior Women In Tech @ Sarah Ing Coaching

Professional Background

My specialty is coaching women in tech - founders, engineers, and product managers. I also coach executives at Zinc, a social impact VC.

I am a career changer who went from being an English major to over a decade in tech as a senior software engineer, engineering manager, and VC-backed founder.

My coaching has empowered engineers to land successful career pivots, get promotions, and create a life which feels true and energizing to them.  Some highlights are 40k raises, starting a business, and getting a book deal with Penguin.

Coaching Focus

Personal growth, career development from someone who has been there and gets it

Personal Touch

My free time consists of learning to hip hop dance (still terrible but still having fun, thanks for asking!) and weightlifting. I have a strong affinity for wigs. Life and career experimentation is my motto - with over 20+ career changes and, a move to London from NYC
