"Demian is a world-class level Software Engineer with a lot of experience. His background in both academia and the tech industry gives him a unique ability to break down complex concepts into digestible lessons. His teaching experience, combined with his deep technical expertise, makes him an exceptional mentor. I've had the pleasure of working closely with Demian on technical interviews, where his guidance has been transformative. Whether it's through mock interviews or his insightful feedback, Demian's experience in Big Tech has provided me with a perspective that's difficult to find elsewhere. His detailed feedback has sharpened my skills in both coding and system design interviews, and I've noticed significant improvement in my ability to tackle challenging problems. I have been working closely with Demian for technical interviews and it has been a great experience. Doing mock interviews a getting feedback from someone that worked at Big Tech is something that is priceless. Thanks to Demian now I'm much better at coding interviews and system design interviews!. Demian doesn’t just teach you how to pass an interview; he helps you develop a long-term mindset of excellence in software engineering. I'm extremely grateful for all the knowledge and advice he’s shared with me"

"Joey is a great mentor not only for newbies, but for anyone who wants to start a project and learn how to "get things done".

"Rina's feedback has been vague and unhelpful, leaving me feeling like I'm going in circles. After weeks of revising a single screen based on her guidance, she asked me to revert to my original design. This was incredibly frustrating and felt like a waste of time. It feels like everything is geared towards scheduling more sessions that don't actually lead anywhere. I don't feel like she's genuinely invested in helping me; instead, it seems her focus is on booking additional sessions rather than providing meaningful, actionable feedback."

"Ritendra can do both. 1) diving deep to the granular level, the specifics when we discuss something technical or 2) bubble things up to a coarser level when we discuss my motivation and goals in life. I was not very articulate about my goals. He reframed what I wanted to achieve in an abstract form. I got a clarification of my motivations and reasons. He gave real-world examples from his experience, grounding his points of view and recommendations with evidence. Toward the end, I summarized the takeaways and he validated my understanding of his advice. Overall, a. a very productive session, resulting in actionable next steps tactically and strategically. "

"The first month of George mentoring me has given purpose, structure and ambition to my career goals. Very quickly he was able to understand where I wanted to get to and help break these down into achievable objectives, which have been crucial to keeping me on track in the day to day. This was particularly effective as George took the time to understand where I wanted to get to, challenge me on areas that were too vague and give me the confidence I needed to go after my goals. He has provided support at each stage of the process, both tangible feedback on my work and guidance on how to approach a certain challenge. George's style is coaching led, meaning the emphasis is on developing the individual and results in a feeling of self-worth and accomplishment. I have found it incredibly useful having him in my corner and I would highly recommend him as a mentor for anyone looking to evolve their marketing career."

"As a Head of Products in the Insurtech space, I’m now aiming to transition into a MANGA company. To make that leap, I wanted guidance from someone who not only understands Big-Tech hiring, but has lived it first-hand. Nathalie immediately stood out: 12 + years at Google, a professional coaching certification, and experience conducting 100 + interviews herself. That combination of practitioner insight and coaching finesse is rare, and exactly what I was after. From our first session, Nathalie brought structure and intent. Designed a personalised skills-gap assessment based on my target roles. We perform together recurring, hour-long mock interviews (both behavioural and case-based) and followed each one with detailed feedback. She curated a reading list: books, articles, even specific YouTube talks — aligned to my weak spots. Arrived to every meeting with an agenda, sample questions, and scorecards identical to those used at Google. If you’re serious about landing a role at a MANGA company, Nathalie is the mentor you want in your corner. Her blend of insider knowledge, rigorous structure, and genuine care accelerates your preparation and improves your confidence as a product expert."

- German about Natalie Skvortsova


"Ricardo is a great mentor! I started off not knowing anything in the cloud environment and week by week i gradually started building my knowledge off the assignments and knowledge that he has in the cloud to better my skills. Ricardo not only taught me but recommended me certain sites i should so that i could build my knowledge on my own. He explained what tools to download as well so we can build off the skills i was learning in our sessions. He's well organized, extremely smart and definitely wants to see you improve and learn in order to achieve all the goals to be as successful as possible. I would recommend anyone looking to learn new skills to definitely go with having a mentor like Ricardo. "
