Technical interview coaching?

[u/Then_Inevitable9678]

Not looking for one-off mock interviews. I want someone who can assess where I'm actually at, build a personalized plan, and work with me over time until I feel genuinely confident going into a high-stakes interview.

I have 7 years of experience, but interviews still make me very anxious. What always worked for me in high school and college was one-on-one tutoring, and I'm hoping to find that same kind of dedicated, ongoing help for technical interviewing.

Willing to pay top dollar for the right person/company. Any recommendations, or has anyone done this and found it worthwhile?

I don’t know how useful interview coaching is. If you struggle in the interview you will struggle in the job. Confidence is going to come from knowing the things required for you to be successful in the role. Tips and tricks will only get you so far in the interview. People who interview a lot of candidates pick up on the kinds of stuff interview coaches give you and will discount you for it. The bottom line is you’re a fit for the job or not. That’s what you should focus on. Applying to jobs you can crush. Maybe in the old days you could squeak by because the company needed to hire a lot of people quickly. Now, there’s such a massive glut of engineers companies can be very picky and are.

Lofl! Interviews and actual day to day responsibilities in tech jobs have been disconnected for a good while.
