It felt like a true to interview experience. The problem given was more interesting to solve than what I was originally anticipating and gave me some of the constraints of a real interview I was looking for - having to explain what I was saying to someone else, asking questions, and the time pressure.

Verified client
My coach reassured me that no one gets problems right on the first try especially on this question we did. She knew that even though I struggled with this, and knew that I have not seen this question before. She explained it in a way that I can understand the problem even if is was just a little bit. I knew I had to keep studying these types of questions
Verified client
I like that it was a question was something I was familar with prior to the session. However, what made the session more challenging was doing a question that was a more complex version of what I did before. I loved that she didn't make me feel bad about not knowing all of the functionalities of C# during the mock interview and instead gave me library suggestions for usage and had an inkling that I have used good majority of them during my professional experience. I also loved that she shared resources on C# documentation to better help me grasp all of C# formy software Engineer II interview.
