Interview Preparation with Elias

Elias is an exceptional mentor with deep experience in his field. He has provided me with valuable technical and personal guidance, as well as practical systems to improve my decision-making process.

I recently had a mentorship call with Elias, and it was incredibly valuable. We discussed general mentorship, career approaches, and strategies for job searching as a student. Elias provided clear and actionable tips on what works well and what to avoid in the U.S. His insights were both practical and encouraging, making the session truly beneficial to get going in my career planning. I highly recommend Elias as a mentor for anyone looking for guidance in navigating their career path, particularly in Software Engineering.

Working with Elias has been a transformational experience. I came to him as someone with little to no knowledge of programming or software engineering experience. From our first engagement (before registering with mentorcruise) to now - Elias has provided me professional guidance in how best to position myself for a career change into software engineering and technical guidance on specific implementation details of different applications I'm working on. I can confidently say that I would not be on this path if I had not approached Elias about my situation. He is empathetic, knowledgeable, and pragmatic. He asks surgically precise questions that can cut right through all of the emotional noise and stress that comes with investing in a career change, bringing a level of clear thinking that has been so critical in shoring up my own sense of decisiveness and confidence. I think anyone looking to grow as a software engineer or looking to become one as I am stands to learn a lot from Elias - if not from his robust technical expertise then at least by adopting his way of thinking.
