I did two sessions (one behavorial fit and one coding) with Max, pretty last-minute before an interview. His coaching was super helpful, highly recommend!
Behavorial fit: His challenging questions helped me to reflect deeply on how I could present myself in the most effective way. This made me feel a lot more confident & authentic in the actual interview.
Coding: The coding exercise we did together was fun and quite instructive; his feedback was super actionable.

I came to Max requesting help with a behavioral interview. This session was the best investment for this year for me. After 20 minutes of talking, Max figured out the root of my problem, which affects not only interviews but my career in general. So, I got much deeper feedback than I expected initially.

Max gave me incredible detailed feedback on my CV. He also explained the interview process in big companies and what actually matters in those interviews (hint: it not (just) the code you write). All in all, a ton of very helpful advice in very little time.

Max is great to work with. We talked about the CV and his experience, then proceeded to the coding interview, which was similar to Leetcode question, but different in a sense that it looked easy, and you needed to ask clarification questions from the interviewee. Looking forward to the next session, thanks! :)
