Verified client
While it was a non-traditional session (it was more of a tutor session), I was able to learn a lot about how things I've read in books tied together in the real world. This is especially helpful since I need to see how more senior folks answer questions in order to outperform during my interviews and not limit myself to mid-level roles.
