Larry was so great to work with. He came rich with notes on my system design interview, and I will certainly be scheduling more sessions with him

Larry's interview feedback was invaluable and really helped me organize and structure my responses for my interviews. With Larry's feedback, I successfully got an offer from a FAANG company for the role and level I was looking for. Thanks!

My session with Larry was great! I was feeling overwhelmed and confused about preparing my stories for behavioral interviews and he walked me through a framework that made the process feel so much more doable. We also talked through some of my experiences and he helped me understand whether they were suitable for my story bank or not. Behavioral interviews are the interview type with the highest rate of false negatives in my opinion, so I'm glad I found Larry because he gave me some really actionable advice to help with this.
