Katie · Software engineer
Interview coaching · Coding mock interview
Samantha’s coaching was incredibly valuable in helping me improve my coding interview performance. She provided insightful, targeted feedback and highlighted areas I hadn’t thought to consider. Her guidance, encouragement, and positive reassurance made a huge difference in my confidence and preparation. Thanks to her support, I ultimately received an internship offer I once thought was out of reach. I’m truly grateful for her help.

Samantha was really helpful. She listened and was very intentional about completing the goals I had for our coaching sessions. She shared her expertise and provided recommendations tailored for me. She was kind, yet straightforward in her feedback, and I trusted that she had my best interest in mind. I would recommend her!

Resume review
Samantha was an outstanding resume coach. We met for 1 hour. I was looking for Staff Software level feedback, and she provided some excellent guidance on "the 3 pillars" a staff-level engineer should think about highlighting in their resume. She also gave me some very specific feedback on my formatting (and provided some URL link examples), which helped unblock my thinking and help me craft a resume that I finally feel represents what has been in my head but I've been unable to put in words. Highly recommended.
