About this session

High-pressure, no-nonsense mock interviews and brutal, pinpoint diagnostics engineered exclusively for candidates facing imminent Onsite loops at top-tier tech companies.

If you have an upcoming interview and need to stress-test your readiness, this is a high-stakes simulation—not a generic chat. We will target your exact weak spots across four core pillars:

1. Product Sense & A/B Testing: Navigating tricky metric trade-offs, messy edge cases, and ambiguous experimentation frameworks.
2. High-Pressure Mock Simulation: Mirroring actual FAANG hiring committee-level pressure with a frame-by-frame critique.
3. Execution & Rigor: Eradicating statistical traps, optimization bottlenecks, and logic gaps.
4. Behavioral STAR Alignment: Polishing executive communication for senior and leadership-track expectations.

*Note: This session is built for candidates in active interview prep who want direct, unfiltered, and high-value feedback to clear the bar. You can choose one session focus or customize a combination based on your immediate onsite needs *

Your mentor

Hi there! I am Liming Liu, Data Scientist at Meta and former DS Manager. Having conducted numerous DS/DA interviews and mentored multiple candidates to land top offers, I specialize in high-pressure, no-nonsense FAANG mock interviews and brutal, pinpoint diagnostics.

Who this is for:
This mentorship is designed specifically for professionals with a 2+ year data background who are ready to put in the reps to land DS/DA roles. We don't do passive coaching; we execute.

Whether you need comprehensive monthly mentorship or a targeted onsite prep for a Data Scientist / Product Analytics role, I tailor my approach to your pace.

What we focus on:

🎯 Product Sense & A/B Testing Deep Dive: Experimentation framework, metric design and diagnose and trade-offs.
🔥 High-Pressure Mocks: Real-world simulation mirroring actual FAANG hiring committee-level pressure, complete with frame-by-frame critique.
⚙️ Execution & Rigor: Overcoming statistical traps and navigating messy edge cases.
🗣️ Behavioral & Leadership: Rigorous cross-functional conflict, impact storytelling & leadership alignment simulations.

She took the time to understand my background and gave me clear, actionable advice on portfolio projects, interview preparation, and positioning. Her guidance on technical skill priorities (SQL first, Python, stats, product sense) and how to frame AI usage was exactly what I needed. She recommended specific resources (LeetCode, StrataScratch) and helped me create a concrete plan. Her experience transitioning from finance to data science at Meta gives her valuable perspective on career pivots. Highly recommend!”
