Vivian is an incredible coach who goes beyond just refining your answers—she also sharpens your overall presentation and presence. She quickly identified my nervous habits and gave me actionable guidance on how to improve. Her coaching style is phenomenal—insightful, supportive, and effective. I wish I could give her 50 stars!

Vivian provided exceptional support during my salary negotiations with a FAANG company. She carefully evaluated both my current compensation and the new offer, helping me understand where my compensation should realistically fall. She also clarified tax brackets, which gave me a clearer picture of my take-home pay. Thanks to her guidance, I successfully negotiated an additional $25K in compensation. I highly recommend Vivian for anyone seeking expert salary negotiation coaching.

Prepare for interviews · Behavioral mock interview
Vivian is the best coach I’ve ever had. She uncovered weaknesses I hadn’t noticed, even with feedback from peers and mentors. She pointed out that I often focused on the ‘what’ rather than the ‘why,’ and together we explored the context behind my actions, leading to more logical and impactful responses. She always comes prepared with a practical framework that’s easy to apply. What sets her apart is how she rewrites my stories in real time, showing me the difference between good and bad, which is far more effective than just giving advice.
