What students are saying

What people are saying

With Priyanka's methodical approach to interview preparation, I went from not passing any phone screens to getting 2 competing offers (including a FAANG company) within one month. I recommend Priyanka's interview prep services to anyone who wants to excel in their interviewing skills and get the best offer.

Rajesh S

Sr Technical Program Manager, FAANG

Priyanka's program has really been valuable. Her suggestion of not interviewing at my dream company was great because it helped me get over my interview jitters. I landed an amazing opportunity in my target domain area which has brought me closer to my career vision.

Nitin S

Engineering Manager, Big Tech

This course provides a great baseline for folks looking for structure on how to approach the field of TPM along with tactics to enhance your interview skills. This is very helpful because ones loses sight of this when on the job. I would recommend this course to anyone trying to navigate the TPM world or needs to build confidence for interviews.

Sova P

Director, Technical Program Management, Fintech

Priyanka provided deep insights into understanding of the TPM role and what it takes to succeed. Her POWERful storytelling framework is very helpful to build a compelling narrative. She also shared inside details on the weak vs. strong signals evaluation during the interviews.
