Problem Core

• Lambda students are new to the industry and don’t have enough information on what to expect when job hunting
• Helping current Lambda students connect with alumni in related fields regarding their job search experience

Problem Side Effects

• Being overwhelmed by the job hunting process, fostering imposter syndrome
• Not feeling prepared or not knowing what to expect from the job hunt
• Missing opportunities because students are not familiar with industry standards

Objectives

Informational Database

• Make Lambda students stronger candidates when seeking jobs
• Save Lambda students time when searching for jobs
• Provide Lambda students with a safe environment for sharing interview/job information
• Provide a platform for Lambda students to connect to other students to gain confidence when job searching

Solution

Allay aims to relieve stress for students by providing a info board where students and alumni can talk about their job seeking experience. We will do this by allowing alumni to leave reviews, post about job interviews, and share salaries. Additionally, we aim to connect students and hired alumni.

• Students can start to measure their own experience and find jobs they are more comfortable filling
• Provide candid information about different companies
• Gives students a stronger position for negotiating salaries
