Personal Coaching / Mentorship
Conducted over Zoom, we have a single hour-long meeting or recurring meeting series on the topic(s) of your choice. Seth Godin wrote an interesting article on the importance of having a coach.
A few examples of what we could discuss:
Promotion and growth coaching - We discuss your current position, the steps you've taken, and what comes next. I've gone through the promotion process at Amazon for many employees. I'm comfortable and excited to help others with the process and steps.
Career goals or changes - We discuss what you want to do, what interests you, and how you might move your career in the right direction. At Amazon, I spent time growing the Amazon Canada product and engineering teams. I am the founding father of the engineering team at Amazon Canada and I'm familiar with changing positions, changing direction, and changing focus.
General mentorship - Mentorship and general leadership advice. You bring the topics, and we talk through them.

Interview Preparation / Mock Interview
An interview prep session is a 90-minute Zoom/Google Meet video call.
I prepare questions that are appropriate to your planned position and level. Note: These will be behavioral questions, not technical questions.
We start by discussing your current interview status and what you know about the loop, and I'll discuss some general advice. This is also a great time to ask any questions you'd like.
During our video call, I will ask a few behavioral questions. I can't predict what questions will be asked in your actual interview, but practicing answering behavioral questions is valuable for getting through a loop.
Between each question, I pause and provide advice or corrections on the content and style of the answers you're giving.
As we run low on time, I'll usually switch to general feedback and recommendations regarding the interview process, and suggestions for how to be successful. You will also have a chance to ask any final questions you might have.
(New!) As a free bonus, if/when you get an offer, I'll be available via email for negotiation advice. I usually respond within 24 hours. I can provide advice on how to approach the process, and how to make counter-offers. No guarantees for results! I just love helping people get paid what they're worth.
If you're interested in a shorter session, we can also do a 60-minute session. That means fewer interview questions, but there's still a ton of value to be had.
