Rohit · Software engineer
Interview coaching · System design mock interview
Worked with Sid while preparing for my system design interview, and I couldn't be more grateful for his guidance. He is truly invested in his students' success, providing honest and constructive feedback. What stood out the most was his deep knowledge, structured approach, and ability to break down complex concepts into digestible insights. He didn’t just provide theoretical knowledge but also encouraged critical thinking, helping me refine my problem-solving skills

Adesh · Engineering manager
Interview coaching · System design mock interview
I had the privilege of working with Sid as my mock interviewer, and his guidance was invaluable. He provided clear, structured feedback for my system design sessions, helping me improve my approach and communication. Additionally, his advice for the behavioural round gave me the confidence to articulate my experiences effectively. Sid's expertise and mentorship truly made a difference in my preparation. Highly recommend him!
