Challenging mock interviews

Hi I am looking for a mock interview partner. I am able to solve most LC hards. I am looking for someone who would like to practise Google/FB style mock interviews. By this I mean we would ask each other twists of well known problems. Also, just like in a real interview setting we would do multiple questions per session. I'd prefer someone who's in EDT timezone, who also is able to solve most LC hards, and wants to prepare with this particular style of mock interviewing. It would require a bit of effort on yours/mine part to search for a good question and follow ups. No trolls please. I have some friends (not very close) who claimed that supplementing LC with this style of mock interviews helped them land at these places

Thanks. Are you comfortable with most LC hards? Also do you also feel you would benefit from this style of mock interviews? Asking because I have had mock interview partners before who would just give one problem that is fairly easy straight from geeks for geeks or leet code as is. I didn't feel challenged and it didn't resemble an actual phone screen or onsite with these companiesm

Trust me , I have appeared for loads of on sites and phone screens at FAANG and none of them asked me leetcode hard, they're always medium. Other than that I am comfortable with most of the hard questions

How many easy/medium/hard have you solved?

Imagine a new blind product where you see a full screen image of the hardest LC you've ever seen and you can swipe left or right to go on mock interviews with that person.

Really? You want to mock me for asking this?

I actually admire your drive and ambition. But I also really wanted to write "the hardest LC you've ever seen."

Hey thanks for your comment. Respectfully I don't think this is the appropriate place for jokes. Please think back to when you were applying for a job at your dream company. Maybe you were also seeking answers/help from someone. In that moment would you have liked it if someone came along and cracked a joke? For some folks securing this opportunity is about more then just getting a job, it's a way to pay off student loans, one of just a few jobs that will allow them to work in the US after graduation, get out of a layoff, etc..hence, It would help if you could answer the question instead. (Not saying all this in a rude tone or with the intent of offending you so please don't take it as a personal attack).
