KrishnaJul 04, 2024 - Interview coaching
The two sessions I had with Raj were very useful and highly productive as I was preparing for a Principal TPM interview. Raj's technical insight and his guidance for System Design were very valuable. I really liked his feedback in which he gave a thorough and well organized review of areas I did well along with areas I need to improve upon. I got an offer!

Raj is a fantastic coach. He helped build my confidence by getting me used to Engineering Manager Behavioral and Systems Design interviews. He provided very specific, candid feedback that added that extra 10% to even the most successful mock interviews. After working with him, I successfully landed an Engineering Manager offer within 2 months. He's the man!

Raj was awesome-- I did a mock system design interview with him, and he gave a ton of great candid feedback (technical and non-technical), advice on how to improve, concrete problems to work on, etc. You can tell he really loves coaching, and he has a knack for it. Highly recommend!

Raj was phenomenal to work with. He coached me through the various stages of a FAANG interview that resulted in an offer. Very succinct, direct and actionable feedback followed by a 'okay, lets try that again' approach worked really well.

My system design mock interview with Raj was very helpful! His feedback was quite thorough: he went through all the things I did well plus all the things I need to work on. This took us past the end of the hour and I really appreciated the extra time he gave me. He also shared small actionable tips to come across better in interviews, and also a doable list of "homework" to work on before my real system design interview in 10 days. You can tell Raj really loves to coach!
