Interview coaching
I had one session with JJ to prep for a final round interview at Apple. He came prepared with strategy and behavioral questions for our mock interview and provided feedback after each question. Based on his experience at Apple, he was also able to share his knowledge about the culture and expectations at the company. Overall, it was a great experience and helped me build up confidence for a final round.

I’m very grateful for JJ’s support and thoughtful guidance throughout my coaching sessions. He brings a rare blend of product management and data expertise, and he took the time to truly understand my background and goals. JJ didn’t just ask questions and provide feedback—he pushed me to think more deeply about the business problem, my reasoning, and my approach. His technical questions were especially valuable, as they highlighted key areas I need to master to grow as a data PM. I really appreciated his encouraging, insightful, and strategic coaching style.

Interview coaching
JJ was amazing to work with! He always showed up to the sessions prepared with the most optimal questions to ask. He took the extra time to review materials/info that I, as a candidate, received from the recruiter to tailor the interview questions accordingly. JJ also shared helpful nuggets about his experience Apple that helped me better internalize how to approach interview questions about product strategy, culture, etc. Also, JJ is a very kind, approachable and thoughtful person which made the sessions feel more relaxed. I highly recommend JJ!
