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.
