One-off sessions with Rick
One-off sessions are a great option if you’re looking for specific advice on a certain topic.
For those looking for a one-time mentoring session and/or don't want to have a set monthly cadence. We can cover any career questions, such as team/job change, interview strategy, learning new skills, domain change, and promotion.
In this session, I'll provide you with real-world FAANG interview experience. At the end of the session, you'll be given feedback (including the hiring decision) from the interviewer's side and improvement tips. I've interviewed more than 500 candidates in the past 10 years, for Coding/System …
Hi, I'm Rick! With over 10 years as a Software Engineer at FAANG companies and startups, I specialize in Backend Distributed Systems and have a broad skill set in various technologies. I've also founded two startups. In the past, I mentored many engineers/non-engineers through work, volunteering, and bootcamps, focusing on career planning, learning new technologies, and interview preparation.
I prioritize quality over quantity, mentoring only a few individuals at a time to ensure dedicated support. My mentorships are personalized to each mentee's goals, and I also offer one-time sessions for quick consultations.
I'm here to share my experience and support your growth.

Rick is the absolute best mentor I've ever had on Mentorcruise. I've been a software engineering/CS mentee for a long time (2+ years) and used several platforms for mentorship: Preply, TakeLessons, etc. in addition to this one, but he is the best engineer I've ever had the pleasure to learn from. He has given great insight and effective feedback as to how I could clear Big Tech Interviews and has been extremely supportive the entire time. Rick truly cares about his mentees and has irrefutable experience and skills to take their career to the next level. Rick helped me secure a SWE I role in a brutal job market and I can't thank him enough. I would even go so far to argue that *not* having Rick as a mentor (or someone like him) would be a huge missed opportunity for your development. Definitely recommend him!

Rick has been an outstanding mentor, offering deep insights into improving my engineering skills, staying competitive in the market, and preparing for big tech interviews. His personalized advice and tailored study plan have given me a clear direction and greater confidence in achieving my goals. As an expert in distributed systems, Rick helps me focus on high-priority areas while cutting through the noise of online information. I highly recommend his mentorship to anyone serious about advancing their career.

Just started work (graduated a few months ago), and needed some early-career and resume pointers. Rick was super helpful, and gave lots of detailed and nuanced answers to my questions. Definitely would recommend the career consultation with him if you are looking for advice on next steps & things to look out for in your career!
