A senior executive in their forties, with an MBA from a top school, came to the firm after eighteen months without a role. Prior total compensation was $350,000. Interviews resumed within weeks of finishing the engagement. The role they accepted paid $460,000 with six additional weeks of paid vacation.

Recovered income
Six further months of unemployment avoided at the new rate.

Figures are drawn from a single engagement and are modelled rather than promised. Results are not guaranteed or necessarily typical. Individual outcomes depend on market, sector, and the executive.

Lifetime value per paycheck delayed, if you are between roles
The whole compensation is at stake, not just the uplift.
$30K–$35K
Lifetime value per paycheck delayed, if you are employed
Only the uplift is at stake, not the whole compensation.
04In Their Words
"Ascensus was pivotal in making my Yale MBA valuable. Every graduate of top business schools should be working with them."
"I've paid for career services before and they only delivered a fraction compared to what Ascensus offers. It's night and day."
"Before Ascensus, I was wasting countless hours applying to jobs without much success. After Ascensus, it was like I was on autopilot gaining opportunities with little effort."
"I had to pause their services at one point because I was getting more opportunity than I could handle."
"This service is easily worth 3X what they charge. The ROI is unlike any other firm out there."
"With sophisticated tech, they transformed my professional reach and opened doors I couldn't have accessed on my own."
