"I am software engineer with 25+ years of experience, including 10+ at a top tech company, and I have long considered the system design interview to be my kryptonite. In my efforts to improve, I have consumed multiple books, blog posts, and YouTube videos, and I have studied with coaches from multiple companies. Based on my experiences, I can confidently say that [Coach]'s guidance for the system design interview goes well beyond the published state of the art. His innovative techniques, including methods for representing different user roles in the HLD and saving time by consolidating interview phases, have greatly improved my performance. Thanks in large part to [Coach]'s coaching, I recently completed a promising Staff+ system design interview at a [REDACTED] company."
"The value of the feedback I received from [Coach] greatly exceeds that of every other resource for system design interview prep that I've tried over the last six months. This includes coaching from three other interview prep companies as well as books, websites, and YouTube videos. [Coach] gave me valuable tips that I've never seen mentioned anywhere else. In addition, his feedback is always laser targeted to my current skill level so that I can apply it directly. If I had known this level of coaching was available, I would have started here six months ago. I would have progressed faster and spent my prep time more efficiently as a result."

I love how much you care about helping people [Coach] 🙏! You brought really positive energy to our session 😎. I love your kindness as much as your willingness to share your experience 🙏. I'm excited to prepare notes about my behavioral experience as we spoke about!

I want to let you know that your advice helped me see what I need to change about my mindset, where I should be focusing my energy and that it begins with changing the structure of my narrative. This exercise we did is profound not just for an interview setting, but also for overall personal career development. There's a lot on my mind with all that's happened but I need to focus on what matters. I hope to drive more meaningful targeted discussion with you with respect to interview preparation. I can't emphasize enough the power of connecting with the right people and community to help propel career growth. I've been feeling isolated and I find only so much growth can happen in a silo; participating in helpful community is the way to exponentially grow in ones career. I hope to pull myself out of my silo and this mentorship is a huge step in that direction. I'm grateful to be connected with you!"

I highly appreciate you being so patient and taking the time to make sure I understood the part of the solution I had trouble with. I also appreciate you checking in regularly to make sure I understood everything else as well. This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!"
"Even though I had separately found out about the behavioral aspects of Amazon's interviews that involve Leadership Principles, I wanted to thank you for going out of your way to very briefly mention them to me during our session. I am guessing that your role as a coach at [REDACTED] does not require you to give that kind of advice. :)"
"Big thanks for the interview - I felt heard, my concerns addressed - I was super nervous and intimidated but you were able to navigate me - I also got a ton of feedback from you, and I very very much appreciate your positivity - thank you!!"

It was tremendously helpful to learn about your perspective and the types of thoughts that might be going through your head as an interviewer. I believe this has been tremendously rewarding experience for me and thank you very much for your time!"
"Thanks, [Coach], the session was great all around and very useful to me. I didn't feel I did great, but at the same time going through the session made me much more confident that I can do well in my interview. The reason is that I think thanks to the session I understood much better what will be required during the interview and now I feel I should be able to comfortably deliver that, unless I get a question or a recruited that will be an especially bad match for me. I think that the main reason I didn't do great during the session was that I really wasn't sure what I should be focusing on, which made me lose time, which snowballed into stress and cutting corners. Having said that, I also think that I didn't pay enough attention into the UX (as I had somehow convinced myself that I need to shine mostly in the backend architecture part) and your feedback made me realise that I still need to focus on the backend architecture, but I should first spend a few minutes thinking about the UX too."
"Hi [Coach], thank you for your help and your time! I've never met this question and found it is very interesting. It connects webcrawler + news feed, which I actually did not notice the news feed part in the interview. Thank you for pointing it out. It really gave me inspiration that I should think of relevant component if I met some new question in the interview."
"Thanks [Coach] for your Advise, Attention to detail to identify the opportunities for improvement. Your feedback has been very helpful to stay confident on the upcoming interviews. I have one personal urgency so I may have to reschedule the tomorrow call"
"This was a worthwhile session! Thanks for sniffing out my HLD's anti-patterns that pinned me into a corner. As well as pointing out my lack of Data Models was a miss. Hearing how you would have done things differently with simplicity is insightful. Not only did you help me simulate when to cut my losses when I hit a Deep Dive wall, but your advice on how to delicately pivot the focus onto other interesting areas that I may expound upon was a great suggestion. Thanks for the thorough probing, answering all of my questions post-mock, and sharing the article about the categories of PA questions I'll encounter at [REDACTED]."
"Thank you for conducting the Meta Product Architecture session, [Coach]. You came prepared for my session having reviewed my previous interview feedback and observed improvement since then. You offered key actionable feedback on what signals I'd miss from self-practice and cautioned me about negative perception by having the camera not centered in front of my face. Thanks for mentioning I'm not stating the tradeoffs before deciding on the solution and for presenting partially specified numbers. The latter's a great reminder to dedicate 5 min clarifying the requirements regardless if they're presented to me."
"Your coaching session was instrumental in identifying my interview performance gaps and recalibrated my expectations about Meta's Product Architecture Interview. Thank you for promptly providing the constructive feedback. Your constructive feedback and the supportive reasoning are beneficial to hear prior to the real interview."
"Appreciate [Coach]'s time and valuable feedback! Overall it was a great experience and helps give me some items to improve on. Appreciate [Coach] staying ~10 minutes later than scheduled to give additional feedback and tips for my upcoming interview."
"[Coach], i can’t thank you enough for your mock today. Your positive feedback was helpful and reinforced specifics that i am doing well and should continue to do. your constructive feedback was interactive and tailored to my needs. You were patient and made sure i got my questions answers and made sure i understood you. Thank you many times over."
"Thank you, [Coach]. The feedback was very eye opening to me on what things to focus on and how to better prepare for this. I would have completely messed it up in the real interview if it wasn't for this mock interview."
"Hey [Coach], Thank you so much having the mock interview with me today. It was a great eye opener for me since it's been a while I have had done an interview. I agree with all of the points you made about my performance and they will make me perform better in my upcoming interviews. These are some solid, constructive, honest feedback! Really appreciate you tagging along with me even if I went beyond the time limit. I really wish I had more time to prepare for my upcoming interview and had the mock interviews done earlier. Hopefully I'll have more interviews with you in the future. Thanks once again! [REDACTED]"
"Thank you so much for the interview, all the pre-interview questions and the detailed feedback. It was definitely great to understand how system design interview are typically evaluated and to learn in what areas I can improve. Much appreciated!"

"Thanks again [Coach] for the mock coding interview! Your insights were very helpful and have definitely helped me focus on certain specific areas that I need improving on! The knowledge your provided me in terms of tackling a coding interview was very invaluable!"
"Thanks very much, [Coach]. Your feedback was extremely helpful. In case you don't see it, this is the message I sent to [REDACTED]: Hi, I just had a very helpful mock interview with [Coach]. As I told him, I have three (!) upcoming system design interviews at [REDACTED] on the afternoon (PDT) of Tuesday, July 2. My interview with [Coach] was so helpful that I have just now scheduled two more Hello Interview mock interviews with a Staff+@[REDACTED] interviewer: one on Sunday, Jul 30 and one on Monday, July 1. If [Coach] is available for these, that would be ideal, because I would appreciate his feedback as I practice the points of improvement he laid out for me. But if not, maybe [Coach] can share his notes briefly with whoever my other mock interviewers end up being."
"This was a great experience and put me at ease for my upcoming interviews! [Coach] was highly knowledgeable, both about the technologies under discussion but also about what specific companies look for and how to adjust to them (e.g. emphasizing tradeoffs for Meta vs. back of the envelope calculations for Google). Thank you [Coach]!"
"I really liked [Coach]'s feedback, both positive and areas for improvement, which were followed up by helpful tips. Also, I really appreciate the time he spent to answer all my questions. I feel more confident for my next interview and I know what to study on. I wish I had done this mock interview a few months ago. Thanks [Coach]!"
"Hi [Coach], was great meeting and chatting with you! I really enjoyed our session - the question had plenty of talking points, and you helped steer the conversation to focus on the key parts of the problem (which I'll try to do myself on my actual on-set :) ) I really liked how we went back over the question at the end to talk about how a strong hire would approach it, and your suggestions for topics to research have been incredibly useful. Thanks again! [REDACTED]"
"Hi [Coach], thank you very much for the session yesterday! I liked the varied range of questions you presented, and the question-by-question feedback session in the end was very valuable. Also thank you for highlighting the areas to focus on for different types of questions, and the suggested improvements!"
"Thank you for the great session! I know it was not my best performance, given that this problem and the type of problem was more challenging to me than others. But that was exactly what I needed. Your feedback will help me to improve even further for these types of problems and situations."
"Hi [Coach], thank you again for your time today, it was great chatting with you! The conversation we had before starting the interview was really useful for setting the scene, and you were really great at highlighting the aspects of my performance which need improvement. I found the specific technologies/options you mentioned which I should discuss super helpful, and I'll definitely go back and research those topics. I also liked how you differentiated the expectations for senior and mid-level engineers, which will help in raising the bar for myself. Thanks again! [REDACTED]"
"Thank you for the great session, this really helped me a lot! I particularly liked the format you suggested to discuss feedback for a question right after the question (instead of one overall feedback part at the end). I also appreciated discussing my very individual questions in detail regarding better stories, aspects to tweak, etc. instead of just "asking as many behavioral questions as possible"."
"[Coach], Thank you so much for taking out the time to interview me. I really appreciate you staying on the extra bit and taking me through each feedback step-by-step. I found you to be great leader and a great coach! Thank you!"
"[Coach] helped me to reduce the pressure before my upcoming interview. She was very knowledgeable and guided me well through the mock. We weven had time for questions related to other interview types. My confidence imrpoved thanks to [Coach]."
"Not sure if you'll read this or not, [Coach]. But on the off-hand you do, thank you so, so much for your time today. I truly was not sure how I'd do at a FAANG type of level in this industry. I still feel so new, and like I know nothing every day. Your feedback was exceptional in the way you gave tangible examples of what I could be doing, and where I could benefit most by studying. You were honest, and concise, and I appreciate it so entirely much. I am so glad I decided to do a second one of these. :)"
"Thank you [Coach] for your time and effort to help. I genuinely appreciate it as this area of the interview I have been struggling for a while.Content and feedback is extremely valuable, it definitely provided me a great baseline to help kick off my improvement process in this interview area.All the best"
"Thanks a lot for the focused feedback. I really appreciated the initial interaction to identify the areas that I was specifically interested in exploring as well as the intermission in the middle to make sure we can get some quick feedback in before we continue forward."
"[Coach] did an AWESOME job. Specifically he excelled at creating an authentic interview environment, I truly felt as though I was interviewing for a real role at Meta. [Coach] was very attentive throughout the entire interview and as I started to go down a path that was out of scope he'd gently guide me back on path. He was also very good at giving actionable and structured feedback to help me improve. Lastly [Coach] did a good job of helping me understand the expectations between levels, which is very helpful as I prep. I'd highly recommend anyone to interview with [Coach], you will learn a ton. "
"Thanks [Coach]! I really appreciated your time today and loved the transparency on how I performed as well the detailed & actionable feedback in the form of pros/cons. Was also great to glean insight into what signals the interviewer is looking for."

"Thank you so much for the feedback [Coach]! Your feedback was insightful and grounded in your experiences in hiring committees. That allowed me to not only get your own insight but a peek behind the curtain at what a committee is looking for. You were engaged throughout, and that showed in the value of the feedback you gave. Thanks a ton and I wish you the best."
"Thank you [Coach] for taking out the time to take the interview and share your valuable feedback and tips with me. Your questions were good and your feedback was very direct and honest. Specially how you linked it to the Meta value. This has definitely got me thinking on how I can choose better examples and better present them."
"I really enjoyed my session with [Coach]. He has multiple questions that he is familiar with, which means I can avoid questions that I had mock interviews before. For the specific problems we went over, he led the interview into details that I hadn't seen before on available material online. I think this is the level/depth of preparation I am looking for to perform well and stand out in my future interviews. Thank you!"
"Hi [Coach], thank you for your time today! It was really great meeting you and working through the problems. Thank you for helping me identify some key areas where I can improve and show my depth and breadth of knowledge, which I will work on, and also for the thorough feedback summary! I really appreciate you staying on the call for more than the allotted time :) If you'd like to connect, my LinkedIn is: [REDACTED] Thanks! [REDACTED]"
"Thank you for meeting with me, [Coach]! I'm sure you remember from when you had to go through this, but I have been stressing about interviews for months now. You feedback was thoughtful, valid, and most of all appreciated. I'm always gonna be stressin', but this helped reduce that stress, even if only a bit. Thank you :)"

"Thank you [Coach] for all of your time and guidance throughout the interview. I really appreciate you working through the audio issues and finding a way to still proceed. During the interview, I froze up a bit and you reassured me at various times. I made sure to note all of the feedback you gave me and will make sure to follow up on all of those items. This is my first time doing a mock interview so I wasn't sure what to expect so I'm really grateful for the time and patience you had for this today as it was really eye-opening for me. Once again, thank you for all of your help and I hope we get to meet again for more coaching down the line."
"Thank you [Coach] for a great session! I appreciate all the actionable feedback you provided for me to consider and work on improving, especially pacing/timing during API sketching and remembering to think about CAP theorem first when enumerating non-functional requirements."
"Thank you [Coach] for the great session! I really enjoyed it and felt that I came away from it having learned a lot more about what a product architecture design interview actually entails, and a good timed framework for how to approach them. Cheers! -[REDACTED]"

"Hi [Coach]. I really enjoyed our session and learned a lot from it. You helped me push through my initial interview jitters and demonstrate the knowledge I have. Now it's on me to ensure my actual system design interview goes equally well. Nbd either way but if you want to keep in touch, feel free to friend me on LinkedIn (search my full name "[REDACTED]"), and Twitter/X @[REDACTED]. Thanks again, [REDACTED]"

"Thanks for all the feedback I appreciate it. I also appreciate the type of problem you chose. It gave me insight on how problems can be asked outside of the normal template you often see within prep material. It truly forces you to focus on the problem itself rather than potentially learned buzzwords. Lastly, the input you gave on the overall process for [REDACTED] will help as I prep towards the final interview."
"Ravi's ability to identify and discuss both general and specific issues was particularly impressive. Thank you for effectively balanced high-level questions with detailed insights, offering practical solutions that enhanced my understanding and skills."
"Hey, [Coach]! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for also taking the time to bear with me during our ill-fated mock 😂 I definitely was not at my best prep-wise or focus-wise (plus it was my first leetcode-style technical interview ever), but that said, I'll take your advice to heart as I continue prepping for my phone screen. Regardless of how that goes, I'll try to keep grinding until I eventually land an offer, however long it takes. Wish me luck!"
"Thank you so much for helping me prepare! Your observation that my interviewing style seems rehearsed and rigid is exactly the kind of blind spot I was hoping to catch in these mock interview. Watching the replay made this very evident! Its definitely something I'll try improving on my next mock interview."
"Thanks for the great session! I liked how you split the session up into the two formats that interviewers might conduct behavioral and provided feedback after each format. All the feedback was great as well, and I look forward to implementing them on the actual interview."

"Thank you again for the experience, its good to see things are improving from my last attempt and I owe to great folks like yourself and [Coach]. Looking forward to future sessions and appreciate your feedback! Thanks!"
"I thought it was a really good interview. I might just suggest pasting in a prepared question into the code editor. Would help save some time and question will be more clear fast. Interesting questions. I enjoyed the process. Felt more like a design coding interview than a straight up data structures and algorithm interview."
"[Coach] is brilliant. His guidance to figuring out the correct logic for the first question was great. The way he explained solution to the second question really clicked for me. I look forward to doing the rest of my mock interviews with him."
"Thank you so much for all your help [Coach]. Good luck on making this the best platform out there. I think you're better then interviewing.io in many ways. Your blog and YouTube videos give you credibility to someone who hasn't heard of your platform before. I have seen people ask about your platform on reddit with not a lot of responses, getting some replies in there that could alleviate concerns for people making that first purchase"
