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 invaluable mentor throughout our sessions. His ability to provide deep insights into my resume has significantly enhanced its impact. He meticulously identified areas for improvement and suggested actionable steps. Beyond the resume, Rick’s guidance on my career trajectory has been profoundly helpful. He has offered thoughtful, strategic advice that is tailored to my professional goals. His expertise and encouragement have been pivotal in my career development. I am truly grateful for his mentorship.
