"Mentoring with Lizzie has been the best thing for my career! When we started working together nine months ago, I was exploring a career change into solution architecture. Lizzie reached out to several people at Microsoft to learn what they look for in solution architects and even created a mock interview where she played the CEO and CIO of a Swiss chocolate company! (Be prepared for fun, candy-themed sessions with Lizzie! 🍫) After our Willy Wonka-inspired session, I realized that pre-sales solution architecture might not be right for me. Lizzie then suggested I reconsider transitioning back to general software engineering. Even though I had been a full-stack developer for six years, I don’t have a CS background (I majored in math), and I felt nervous about returning after two years away—especially while also working to improve my "people environment" (an important factor from the book "What Color is Your Parachute?", which Lizzie is familiar with!). One thing you should know about Lizzie is that she embodies the growth mindset to such an extent that you would think she studied directly under Carol Dweck (the originator of the concept). Even though I hadn’t studied data structures and algorithms before, Lizzie was unwavering in her belief in my ability to grow and learn. And it was her belief in me that gave me the confidence to pivot back to software engineering! Since then, we’ve tackled LeetCode (4 months), system design (1 month), and behavioral questions (ongoing). Lizzie always gently guides me forward without overwhelming me, and the process has been challenging but incredibly fulfilling! I’ve even had Amazon (AWS) reach out about potential opportunities. I honestly don’t think I would have made it this far without Lizzie! If you want an empathetic mentor who truly embodies the growth mindset, will champion you on your journey, and will help you get your own form of a golden ticket (did I mention Wonka-themed sessions? 🎩), you want Lizzie as your g"

"From our first meeting, Nima and I established a collaborative and open relationship. We identified my challenges, which included understanding complex algorithms and applying them to real-world problems. Nima has diligently provided structured resources and guidance, reinforcing theoretical concepts. Nima sets the stage for each session by providing me with pre-reading materials. He then initiates a dialogue to assess my current understanding. From there, he clearly unfolds the complexities of the topic, creating an engaging learning environment where I feel comfortable asking questions and exploring ideas. His insightful responses and well-timed questions foster a deeper level of engagement, ensuring I'm not just following along but actively constructing knowledge. I consistently leave our sessions with fresh insights and a clearer understanding of the subject matter.
