RaoNov 19, 2024 - Career coaching
Vasu was immensely helpful to guide me through my interview preparation blind spots. I noticed that his coaching is based as a result of his vast experience from his leadership roles at big cloud service providers. I got better at interviewing and got a job offer because of practicing with him. I highly recommend Vasu for interview coaching, career guidance and mentorship.

My time with Vasu was so valuable. He was kind, yet direct in his approach, and helped me think through my STAR stories. His vast experience shown through is so many ways.
I scored very high on the leadership principles portion according to my recruiter, and I know that Vasu was instrumental in helping me prepare for my interview, I highly recommend Vasu, you won't regret it!

Vasu not only helped with my behavioral interview answers the way other coaches might, he helped me articulate my answers in a way that communicated seniority, helping me a land a very-senior IC position.
