Interview coaching · Behavioral mock interview

Mark's an exceptional coach—insightful, thoughtful, and brimming with ideas for tailored exercises and take-home practice that matched my needs. As a relatively senior engineering manager, I was looking for ways to demonstrate my leadership skills but also convey the degree of technical expertise I could bring to hard problems. Mark took the time to learn about my unique situation, asked tough questions to identify gaps that needed filling, and then dove into a series of practice interview questions that proved critical only a few weeks later. Whether you're looking for career advice, hard-won industry insights, or just a few interview tips, Mark is a gem!

Guy · Engineering manager

Interview coaching · System design mock interview

I wanted to practice with Mark after watching him do mock interviews on YouTube. I didn't quite know what to expect. I got everything I could have expected and more. Mark is exceptionally professional. I felt that on the one hand I was getting the authentic experience of an interview that I wanted to practice, and on the other hand I was getting feedback at a higher level, with professional attention to the small details. Mark was super nice, and flexible with my times and needs. I practiced with Mark Mock System Design interviews and also a presentation of a personal technology project, two things I wanted to improve. I felt I came away with relevant tips for both. Highly recommended!
