What a session covers
Each coach runs sessions their own way. A session can include:
- A timed design question, from requirements to a high-level design, at the level you are interviewing for.
- Deep dives on what interviewers tend to push on: the data model, scaling, consistency and failure handling.
- Practice stating trade-offs out loud: what you chose, what you gave up and why.
- Feedback on your structure and communication, as well as on the design itself.
Questions
How does booking work?
Open a coach's profile and message them first if you want to check the fit. Press Buy on a session, sign in with LinkedIn, pay through Stripe, then pick a time in the coach's calendar. Sessions are video calls, and your payment is only released to the coach once the session has been delivered.
How long is a session?
Each coach sets the length of their sessions. It is shown next to every session on their profile, so you know before you book.
How much does it cost?
Each coach sets their own price. Among the coaches on this page, a session starts at $21 or £65. The price on a card is that coach's starting price for a first booking, platform fee included. One of them also offers a free 15 min intro call.
Can I book a single session first?
Yes. A card price ending in "/ session" is for one session, with no plan or package to buy. Coaches who also offer a monthly plan list it separately on their profile.
How are coaches vetted?
A person reviews every profile before it can be found on the site. We check that a coach is who they say they are and that their stated experience is plausible. We do not verify every claim on a profile, so read the reviews too: only clients who paid for and completed a session can leave one.
