I think your misunderstanding. If I paid for unlimited, I don’t and will not leave until I received the value for what I paid for. So I don’t know how the $500 a week refund policy works if I have unlimited. My question is theoretically if you don’t get a job you like within the

With flat rate unlimited (which is still offered but unlisted on the site right now) there is no timeframe yeah. We have a small number of people with us for quite a long time and still going as a result. With the performance based unlimited (our main option right now) there is a 15 month cap (which can be extended because of personal circumstances if approved). This is why we might not accept you if you only have like two companies you're targeting or will only accept an offer at a very small number of companies. We don't know what the market's going to be like in a year and if we did our part and prepared you for all the interviews and your passing all of the mock interviews and doing great and those companies just aren't hiring. there's nothing we can do about it but we did our part. So maybe I should emphasize that you're primarily paying to confidently get your skills and interview performance up to the top tier bar and will support you no matter how long that takes as it takes each person a different amount of time. And you are paying for our job hunt support like strategizing for interviews, communicating with recruiters and negotiating offers. But you are not paying for referrals or a guaranteed job at a specific company. so if that's what you primarily want, then it's not a good fit. in other words, if you showed up and we got you to that point and you could only get an interview at a company you didn't really like and we helped you prepare for that company and pass anyways. then we've earned our fee even if you only wanted to work at a different company. so if that doesn't work for you, you should not come.
