LiyaOct 19, 2024 - Interview coaching
Astika was great to work with! She helped me mocked for analytical thinking questions for Meta. She recognizes that there are different ways to go about answering these questions based on her solid experiences and she was able to help me understand what's truly important to showcase in interviews. She was able to identify gaps in my mock and provide specific feedback. She was able to help me brainstorm answers on tough questions too, which is great! Highly recommend working with her.
