Testimonials
- I really appreciated the clear structure and step-by-step guidance. Each module focused on a specific part of the process, making it easy to follow and always know the next step. Everything Eugene shared came up in my Meta interviews, helping me prepare and feel confident.
Regina
Senior Product Designer at Meta, UK - The mock interview breakdown and the explanation of behavioural questions were incredibly helpful. They showed me how to structure my answers and keep the interviewer’s attention. Plenty of real examples helped me quickly create my materials and clearly see how everything should look.
Andrey
Product Designer at Revolut, Portugal - The course structure was clear and well-organized, making it easy to put everything in order from the start. The community was one of the best parts of the course. Everyone was generous with feedback and support, and through the network I got a referral that led to a job.
Tatiana
Senior Designer at Intercom, UK - There were many valuable insights, but the LinkedIn module was the most useful for me. I loved how each potential question came with a real example and sample answer. The salary negotiation section was a real eye-opener — I never imagined you could negotiate things like gym membership compensation.
Ilya
Product Designer at Bolt, Estonia - Honestly, this was amazing. So much useful info and I really appreciate the depth of experience behind it. You shared details and insights that are nearly impossible to find online. The subtle, real-world tips, especially about interview stages and offer negotiation, make this course truly unique.
Sergey
Designer at Tetracode, USA - Huge thanks! I especially liked the practical examples for every topic. The examples made everything much clearer. Your perspective is far more valuable than that of someone outside FAANG, and no one can explain interviews better than someone who lives and breathes them every day.
