What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

If you are looking for a data science mentor, don't walk, run to Cheng! Coming from a purely academic research background, the transition to an industry data science role was daunting. Cheng helped me with everything from rewriting my resume and developing a job application strategy to preparing for interviews and, finally, negotiating my salary. Cheng has in-depth knowledge of the current data science job market. She helped me analyze each role and tailor my interview strategies accordingly. She is incredibly responsive, flexible, and always made time for an interview preparation session when I needed one. Together, we analyzed every facet of the interview process so I knew exactly what to prepare for and what to look out for. If you need mentorship support during the challenging job search process, Cheng is the absolute best option out there.

I had an excellent experience with Cheng. She brings a proven, structured approach that delivers results and shows she’s deeply invested in the success of her mentees. Her feedback is always thoughtful, actionable, and tailored to your individual goals. I joined the mentorship aiming to advance my career as a data scientist and move into a more senior, higher-paying role. She helped me craft a resume I feel truly confident in, develop effective application strategies, and prepare thoroughly for technical interviews with quality resources and guidance. Additionally, she has a way of making the job search process feel manageable by breaking down what can be an overwhelming and uncertain experience into clear, achievable steps Although I ultimately secured an internal move, I saw very strong traction with my external applications during the process. I’m confident that, with her continued support, I would have been able to land an external role within 3 months.
