“I highly recommend Rob to anyone preparing for TPM interviews. Even if you are not preparing for interviews and would like a coach or mentor, Rob has significant experience to guide you, inspire, and boost your confidence.

I scheduled five sessions with him to prepare for the TPM full loop interview, covering both technical and non-technical aspects. I ended up booking an extra session to fine-tune my delivery style, which was an area that I needed improvement. Rob helped me stay positive and confident during my preparation phase. Not only did he help me work on my areas of improvement, but he’d encourage me by sharing his experiences and insights as a TPM.”

I was fortunate enough to find Robert when I was about to give up on my dream, and Robert didn’t just help me make my professional aspirations come true, he also set me up for success in the future. Robert’s empathy, his eye for the method of coaching that best complements the individual working style to reach that set goal, and the safe learning space that he created made it possible for me to identify and overcome barriers that kept me from reaching my goals. Now that I’ve reached that goal, I have new goals, and I’m grateful that I know exactly who to reach out to for guidance. Robert is truly one of the best and the kindest subject matter experts I’ve had the pleasure of working with and learning from – not just to become a better professional but also a better human being.

Robert did my mock interview for Google, and it was one of the best decisions I made. He is a great career coach! He made me feel so relaxed before my interview. My mock interview with him gave me the confidence I needed to sail through my interview loops. He coached me through my offer process, and I plan to continue working with him when I become a Google employee.

Apart from helping me get familiar with the process & with expectations of the interviewer, he shared personalized feedback about me , which helped me immensely . He made me comfortable right from the beginning and shared some wonderful examples and helpful prep resources as well.
