I had a great experience with Taru! She simulated the mock interview just like the real one so I'd know exactly what to expect with time pressure. She also gave insight on how I can stand out even more during my interview and gave lots of very helpful feedback. I had a very seamless experience with Taru and would definitely recommend working with her!

Taru was preping me for system design interviews and she pointed out the key things I missed. Mock interview really helps!

I had a fantastic system design interview with Taru. She was incredibly patient with questions and provided detailed and constructive feedback. She knows exactly what interviewer looks for in a candidate. She also gave tips for coding round which wasn’t something I expected. Highly recommend her for the expertise and genuine willingness to help.

Taru helped me identify the areas where I was lacking and understand how I should allocate my time to each one, as well as how in-depth and clear I needed to be. I definitely did better in my interview because of this mock.

Taru was great to work with! She gave me a mock system design interview and really helped by pointing out areas of strength (clarifications, requirements, high level design) and ways that I could improve (back of envelope calculations, API responses, scaling discussions, tradeoffs).
