Interview coaching · System design mock interview
Anand's attention to detail and preparation towards the design review mock was incredible and highly inspiring to me as an interviewee.. he not only had a great question, he was incredibly flexible with the format, thorough with the feedback and managed time incredibly well during the interview to make room to go over a working version of the solution and helped me understand some specifics as well along the way.. Definitely highly recommend and will definitely rebook!

Interview coaching
This was my second meeting with Anand in preparation for a System Design interview the next day (yikes!). Anand provided a more difficult problem for the second interview, one that was in an area I had limited experience in. Even so, Andand gave me strategically placed hints that allowed me to get to the other side of the interview intact. He then gave me a really good understanding of this topic. Thanks again, Andand!

Resume review
I scheduled time with Anand to review my resume. He provided actionable feedback ahead of our session, discussed a few concerns I had live and was quick to pivot to interview questions with the time we had remaining in our call. I really appreciated Anand's insights and proactiveness in ensuring we made good use of our time together.
