It was super helpful to have an interviwer from the company at the right level. This kind of insights is very hard to get otherwise. @coach - Appreciate all the feedback. This was exceptionally helpful to know where to dial in, what to expect from the interview, and overall feel prepared.

Thanks a lot for session, hope to see you again.  Excellent session! The coach is seasoned, experienced, and has a keen sense of observation.  He caught an aspect in my thinking that needs immediate correction, and that has been the biggest takeaway.
