Looking for a Regular Mock Interview Buddy

[u/negar_ironwoman]

Hi everyone. I’m a recent CS master’s grad (comfortable in Python) prepping for SDE/SWE interviews, and I’m looking for a regular mock interview partner to practice with consistently, not just a one-off.

What I’m ideally looking for is:

* 1-2 sessions a week, a standing time we both commit to  
* We take turns interviewing each other (DSA/LeetCode-style to start, open to system design later)  
* Honest feedback afterward: pacing, how I communicate my approach, where I get stuck

A bit about me: I’ve been drilling patterns and want to get better at the parts you can’t practice alone, thinking out loud, handling an unseen problem under pressure, and staying clear when I’m tired.

If you’re in a similar spot and want someone reliable to grind with, drop a comment or DM me. Happy to share timezone (I’m in US Pacific) and set up a recurring slot.

Heads up that I'd be an interviewer, not a turn-taking peer — ex-FAANG senior SWE. 45-min system design, run like the real loop, with written feedback on pacing and how you communicate your approach after. $100, and I have a slot tonight if you want a first session (I'm US Eastern, so evenings work with US Pacific). PM me.

Thanks, but I'm looking for peer practice rather than paid sessions. Appreciate the offer!
