Interview coaching · System design mock interview
Taru is an exceptional interview coach. Her understanding of product architecture was incredibly thorough, and she helped me grasp concepts very well. She went above and beyond by addressing all of my additional questions about the interview process, provided thoughtful guidance, and kept in touch afterwards.
Please do not hesitate to book with Taru! She is genuinely outstanding.

Interview coaching · System design mock interview
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.

Interview coaching · Coding mock interview
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!

Interview coaching · System design mock interview
I met Taru just one day before my technical screening interview with Meta. In that brief time, she provided valuable tips, insights, and resources that helped me feel more confident and prepared. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to clear the screening round. I’m planning to schedule additional coaching sessions with her as I prepare for the onsite loop.
