I have taken 100s of interviews of Software Engineers and Engineering Managers at various levels in my 20+ years career.
I have been conducting mock interviews for the last 7-8 years to help the community.
Please book time on my calendar if you want to get a coaching or mentoring session or a mock interview in the following areas:
Coding (Data Structures and Algorithms)
High level System Design
Behavioral (Project Retrospective, People Management, Leadership)
Testimonials
"This was my first mock interview ever and I realized that there is so much to get out of it. There is no better way to get feedback than from a mock interview (in real interviews, there is no way to get much feedback). I have concrete action items from the feedback of my mock interview that I know I can focus on in the coming weeks. I got a feeling that I'm in a real interview with the fact that I only had so much to gain from it and nothing to lose."

Thanks a lot for the mock interview. Being one of the first few mocks interviews for me after a reasonably long stint in my current company, I found it to be a great way to calibrate where I stand, and now I know there’s a lot more to prepare. Your feedback about managing time during the interview and approaching the problem in a way that not only solves the problem effectively but also surfaces the right data points to the interviewer within the given time were very insightful. I have taken away a few important notes from this experience about how to start structuring my answers. Really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

Dhirendra's mock interviews were incredibly insightful. His feedback on system design skills was spot on. His extensive industry experience really comes through. I was doing ok on system design and I thought all I have to do is somehow complete the solution... He not only helped me improve my technical abilities but also taught me how to present my solutions effectively. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to secure a position at Meta!
I highly recommend his mock interview sessions to anyone aiming for top tech companies."

"The mock behavioral and leadership interviews with Dhirendra were a game-changer for me. I took two interviews with him on the behavioral and leadership side. He helped me articulate my experiences more effectively and gave me strategies to handle tough questions. His mentorship was invaluable in boosting my confidence. With his support, I successfully navigated my interviews and landed a job at Amazon.
Dhirendra's expertise in engineering management is extensive. He is a fantastic mentor"
Thank you!

I got in touch with Dhirendra through one of his webinars. I requested him to do some mock interviews for me. Dhirendra's mock interviews provided a comprehensive and realistic practice environment. I was doing leetcode.. but his detailed feedback on my coding style and problem-solving approach has significantly improved my confidence and skills. He pushed me to think critically and provided practical advice that was directly applicable in my actual interviews.
I can't thank him enough for his guidance."

"The behavioral interview sessions with Dhirendra helped me refine my leadership stories and align them with industry expectations. His feedback was constructive and tailored to my career goals. I kind of knew the STAR framework, but practicing it with someone experienced makes big difference. I learned how to effectively communicate my vision and management style.
Thanks to his coaching, I now work at Oracle. Dhirendra's guidance really helped me"
