On interviewing.io mock interview for l6 system design costs 650+. Is it worth it? #google #facebook Edit: thanks for the responses. Any suggestions for any other sites/alternatives for mock practice?
it is too expensive
Nope
Crazy. Who’s paying this?
Even $100 sounds expensive to me.
They only pay 50% to the interviewer. What quality you will get by paying 50$ for someone hour if time for a staff interview.
It was below $200 before 2023. And what miraculous quality boost do you expect with $600+ in one hour?
Why don’t they just apply for several companies and use some of their interviews as mocks
Are there so many companies recruiting?
Enough companies to use some of them as a mock
This is for people who dont know anyone in tech.
It's much cheaper if you choose generic faang than a specific company. I never did their E6 mock interviews but I did a lot of both their algo and system design mocks, including a coaching package. In my opinion it was all worth it because I view it as a career investment. I'm finally in faang now so it has already paid itself many times over. I wouldn't hesitate to do the same for next time. If you have E6+ faang friends who are willing to mock interview you for free, then great. But for me I did not have that luxury.
It lists that it was $100-180 a year ago. Now they increase to over $600? Clearly they’re taking advantage of current economy and abusing unemployed people. Just like the companies who abused employee and laid them off. Please don’t make yourself as a victim. 1-2 sessions with $650 each won’t help anyone get a job. Or, are you suggesting people to mock many times that cost $650 per session? If you don’t know anyone in tech, make a meet up to have a mock friends. The mock $650 just doesn’t make sense.
I can't speak to the $600 E6 mock interviews since I mentioned I never took any of those. If you don't think it's worth it then don't buy it. The prices do generally seem higher than before. Maybe it's inflation, maybe it's the job market. Again if you think the price is too high then don't buy it. In my opinion spending even a few grand is still worth it to me if I get that faang job. 1 week TC already pays more than that. I came from no-name garbage tier companies so I didn't not have many tech friends, nevermind friends who knew how to give good interview feedback. I've tried other places for mocks like Pramp and various Discord servers but they are extremely hit or miss in terms of quality. I know I probably sound like a shill but Interviewing.io was the best place where I could maximize efficency on time spent, of course at the trade off of spending more money.
If you just want FAANG then faangpath has cheaper rates
Yeah, tons of sites offer better rates. HelloInterview is another.
Absolutely not worth it. DM me for details
No.
