I had a great experience with Abhishek, he walked me through the interview process and insights on what one would be expected to perform in a TPM role. He was approachable, insightful, and took the time to provide thoughtful feedback after every conversation. His detailed suggestions and constructive criticism helped me identify gaps and improve my interview performance significantly. Would definitely recommend.
