Interview coaching · Behavioral mock interview
1. I did take an LP mock interview with Rakesh for L6 SDE role at Amazon. 2. Rakesh had specific feedback for Ownership, Earn trust, Hire and develop the best LP responses I provided. 3. Rakesh's feedback focussed on each story and provided specific feedback for each response with areas of improvement focusing on managing time, limiting data points in the responses. Best practices to showcase impact at L6 Sr. SDE level. 4. Highly recommend Rakesh expertise for LP mock interviews.

Benedict · Software engineer
Interview coaching · Behavioral mock interview
Rakesh gave super constructive feedback that helped me succeed in a technical first round, and made me feel much more confident going into my last-round interviews. He gave clear guidance on what interviewers will look for, in terms of company values' behavioural questions, and helped me refine the weaker parts of my technical and behavioural answers with clear feedback. I appreciated the easily actionable suggestions, as well as a focus on the company I was preparing for.
