One-off sessions with Mainak
One-off sessions are a great option if you’re looking for specific advice on a certain topic.
If you're looking for a mentor, and you're just not sure about how this all works – this one is for you. In a casual, informal introductory call, a mentor will introduce themselves, show you around the platform, explain how our mentorships work, and explain …
I've worked at Facebook/Meta as an Engineering Director, Microsoft as a Principal Eng Manager and currently Senior Director of Engineering at Databricks. I have also built my own startup, raised ~10 million dollars in funding which failed within 2 years (with lots of lessons along the way :) ). I have been in Trust and Safety for the past few years and an AI/ML guy by training. I have built large and small organization working on challenging problems anywhere between 10-100+ people.
I love meeting new people - whether it is mentoring engineers (or any other technical functions) or learning from them. I have had my fair share of ups and downs and can help with suggestions on any situation you are currently facing. My strength is in leadership coaching and mentoring, solving organizational and inter-personal situations.
There is usually never one formula to solve any problem, but I would like to use our time to brainstorm on ideas on anything you are trying to solve/navigate. In the process, I hope to learn from you too.

I recently had a mentorship call with Mainak and it was an insightful and practical experience. We covered essential strategies for navigating the job market, such as prioritizing opportunities with big target companies rather than getting too fixated on specific levels. Mainak provided a few insights into the recruiting process. He helped validate and brought in an amazing thought that there isn’t a definitive “right” count for quantity of practice, emphasizing that the prep should be a continuous effort till the goal. Overall, the session was confidence boosting and provided clear direction for moving forward. I truly appreciate his willingness to share his knowledge and offer guidance, and I look forward to continuing our conversations around ideas and strategies. I highly recommend Mainak as a mentor for anyone looking to refine and validate their career strategies and goals.
