Thanks to Tom! I got and accepted the offer I was hoping for! He helped me tackle my problems around conciseness, giving me very helpful feedback and tips to improve my answers. The tips were key to me doing well in the interview. Once again thanks Tom!

Tom and I did a mock coding interview. Tom gave me great feedback about how I did, along with actions I can take to improve my overall score (more than just completing the problem).

Great feedback. Did a behavioural session with Tom. Not only did I get good feedback tips wrt behavioural interviewing - but also learnt a bunch in general about how to be a good engineer that I can apply for Career growth.
Highly recommend working with Tom

Tom has a really solid mix of technical know-how, product thinking, and great soft skills. He gets what’s important in interviews and knows how to bring it across. Even when I got stuck, he stepped in and guided me in a way that taught me how to handle it better next time. It was super helpful and gave me a lot more confidence for future interviews.

Wow, I’m so glad I did the system design mock interview with Tom! He clearly demonstrated what the correct structure of an interview should look like and helped me focus on the key areas I need to prepare for the real interview. Before the mock, I was off track and not preparing effectively. After my session with Tom, I was able to recalibrate my approach, and it made a huge difference. Thank you!
