1:1 Premium: Land Your FAANG Offer in 12 Weeks

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

This is not a cohort. Not a recorded course. Not a Slack group with occasional check-ins.

This is a direct 1:1 coaching engagement — 12 weeks of structured preparation with a Principal Engineer who has reviewed hundreds of FAANG interviews from the inside.

Every session is built around your specific gaps — identified in week one through a full diagnostic. Every piece of feedback is direct, honest, and based on what actually moves the needle in FAANG interview loops.

The engineers I work with don't just prepare — they transform how they show up in interviews. They stop hoping for easy questions and start trusting a process that works regardless of what they face.

By week 12, you will have a complete preparation system, a refined story of your career, a polished resume, and the technical fluency to perform under real pressure. You will walk into your on-site with confidence — not hope.

What You’ll Get in 12 Weeks

• Weekly 1:1 coaching sessions (12 total)

• Full diagnostic assessment in week one

• Resume rewrite and LinkedIn optimization

• Behavioral story bank development (8 stories)

• Coding pattern mastery across all 12 patterns

• System Design intensive with real trade-off analysis

• Mock interview loops with recorded feedback

• Offer negotiation basics and strategy (extra consultation fee required if you want my help with negotiation)

• Async support throughout the entire engagement

• Direct referral to top tech companies on completion

What's Included

Six pillars.
One outcome.

01 · Resume & LinkedIn

Is This For You?

Right fit.
Wrong fit.

This is for you if...

• You have 3+ years of professional software engineering experience

• You are targeting L4, L5, or L6 at a FAANG or top-tier tech company

• You can commit 15-20 hours per week to structured preparation

• You have been rejected from FAANG before and want to understand why

• You are serious about making this move in the next 3-6 months

• You want direct, honest feedback — not encouragement

This is not for you if...

• You are looking for a passive course you can watch at your own pace

• You cannot commit consistent time weekly to preparation

• You are not yet able to solve Easy LeetCode problems independently

• You want validation rather than an honest assessment of your gaps

• You are not ready to apply within the next 6 months

• You are looking for a guaranteed outcome without the work

Application Requirements

How to
qualify?

Strong Computer Science Fundamentals

You have a solid grounding in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles — through a degree, bootcamp, or self-study combined with professional experience.

Independent Problem-Solving Ability

You can solve any Easy LeetCode or HackerRank problem within 15 minutes without external help. This is the baseline — coaching accelerates you from here, it does not replace this foundation.

15-20 Hours Per Week Availability

You can dedicate 15-20 hours per week to structured preparation for 12 consecutive weeks. This program is intensive by design — results require consistent input.

Coachable and Committed

You can follow a structured plan, receive direct feedback without defensiveness, and execute consistently between sessions. The engineering skill is yours — the system and accountability are mine.
