I'm Adam, an experienced software engineer and a professional interviewer. For over two years, I have been working with candidates in the software industry and other industries to improve their chances of landing a great offer, and to increase their compensation by often significant amounts.

Interview coaching

With this service, I aim to help you get a great job. I have worked successfully with software engineers, project managers, marketing executives, engineering managers, developer advocates and more. See testimonials for examples of how this service has worked for people in many fields.

We work together as a team throughout your job search. This includes meeting as often as you need as well as text-based communication. I provide you with a handbook as well as tasks which help you to effectively prepare for your interviews.

We prepare for common interview questions, such as “Tell me about yourself” and “Do you have any questions for me?” as well as questions specific to each particular role. We work on telling your story in a way which highlights your strengths.

Software engineers go into live-coding and systems-design interviews with the skills and strategies needed to communicate, code and design in a way which suits those interview types.

Adam spent two days with me and level-ed up my interview performance in a measurable way over those two days. As a result, I landed my dream job with an excellent offer.

Negotiation

We work to determine a strategy for your individual negotiation situation, setting you up for success, whatever that means for you. We role-play various scenarios, with key phrases and numbers discussed together. Candidates go into their negotiations confident, and they often come out with compensation far better than they would otherwise have achieved.

[Adam] was critical in helping me through salary negotiation that was, in my opinion, very successful.

Pricing

I use bespoke and fair success-based pricing for interview coaching. This means that the service is accessible and of value to people no matter your personal financial situation.

I also offer a pay-what-you-want service for short term work such as negotiation help or final round interview coaching.
