Let’s grow together – professionally and personally.
Hi! I’m Vitali Botvich – but you might know me better as the face behind The Interview platform or from one of my talks about how to break into IT or grow your career in tech.
I started my journey in IT over 10 years ago as a Business Analyst. Like many of you, I had to figure things out along the way—navigating the gap between business and tech, learning how to communicate with developers, stakeholders, and customers, and getting better with every sprint.
From Business Analyst, I grew into a Product Owner, and today I’m a Head of Product. I’ve led cross-functional teams, built products from scratch, managed complex API-driven platforms, and contributed to AI/ML initiatives—all while staying grounded in the fundamentals of good communication, user understanding, and structured thinking.
But here’s the part that really lights me up:
Helping you get there too.
Whether you’re looking for your first job in IT or ready to grow into a more senior role—Business Analyst, Product Owner, Product Manager—my goal is to break down complex concepts into simple, relatable lessons. I use real-life examples, not theory. The kind of knowledge you can apply at work tomorrow.
I also believe that professional growth doesn’t happen without personal growth. So every course I create—and every video on my YouTube channel—is built to push you forward in both areas. You'll get practical skills, career advice, motivation, and support from someone who genuinely cares about where you’re headed.
On Udemy, you’ll find courses designed with intention:
- Clear frameworks and techniques you can use immediately
- Real-world case studies and examples
- Motivation that helps you stay committed and inspired
- And support when you need it—I’m just a message away
So whether you’re just getting started or you’re already in tech and looking to level up, you’re in the right place. Let’s make your next career move your best one yet.
I’m here to help.
