Real mock round + written scorecard

Most mock interviews end with "that was pretty good, work on your fundamentals." You leave with nothing you can act on. This isn't that.

What happens

45 minutes of a real round — system design, or the EM/behavioural round, your pick. I run it exactly as I'd run it at work: no hints unless you're stuck, no easing off, follow-ups until we hit the edge of what you know. Then 15 minutes where I break character and tell you what I saw.

What you get afterwards

A written scorecard, sent within 24 hours. Every competency scored — problem solving, depth, breadth, design, communication — on the same four bands a real panel uses: Does Not Meet, Partially Meets, Meets, Exceeds. For each one: what you did, what band it put you in, and the specific thing that would have moved you up. I've written 1500+ of these for real candidates. Yours is the same document, except you get to read it.

Who this is for

Engineers with 3+ years who are getting to the final rounds and losing. SDE2 → SDE3, senior engineer → EM, or anyone about to interview at a level they haven't held yet. **Who this isn't for** Anyone who wants encouragement. I'll tell you if you're not ready, and I'll tell you why.

Before we meet

Send your resume and the JD (or the company + level you're targeting) when you book. I'll pick the round that matches what you're actually walking into.
