Looks nice but I question how many non-noobs will be able to fill the opposite side. I feel it will mostly be filled with amateurs. Looks cool though.

@erickbarron86 thanks for the comment. It's actually quite the opposite. Close to 70% of Pramp users have 2 or more years of software development experience. If anything, non-noobs are the ones that need Pramp the most since their interviewing skills have likely atrophied over the years. Coding and interviewing are largely orthogonal skills. Being good at the former doesn't guarantee success in the latter. How do you practice for you technical interviews?

@erickbarron86 @rafizkv "Interviewing skills have atrophied" = noob, depending on the state of atrophy. I think the accurate way to think about this is what % of users understand the basics enough to be good judges of the others' performance. Maybe an initial automated coding test could weed out people who haven't done enough solo study yet? GL!

@zachtratar thanks for the feedback. We take couple of measure to guarantee high quality prep for peers. First, we send users the questions (and the answers) they'll be asking their peers 24h before the interview begins. That gives them plenty of time to prepare as interviewers. Second, we almost always match between users who have the same pogromming language preferences. Third, interview session have test cases, so even a user isn't sure whether their peer's algorithm is correct they can easily verify it. Forth, we try whenever possible to assign you as an interviewer (but never as an interviewee) a question you've seen before. So the more times you've asked the better you become at asking it. Why don't you give a try and see for yourself? :)

Wish I had Pramp when I was prepping for my coding interviews, way back then. What's new in the 2.0 version?

@dglbr thanks for the question. Here are the main new features in Pramp 2.0: Same-day Interviews - no need to wait more than 24h to get a practice interview. You can now schedule an interview with peers on-demand. New Questions - new questions asked by real companies. Simplified & personalized scheduling - no need to choose 3 different time slots to schedule an interview. Simply select one that works for you best. Instantaneous and better peer matching - we redesigned our matching algorithm, so now each practice peer is picked especially for you, within seconds. Code execution and test cases for all main programming languages - easily validate the correctness of your code, with our in-browser code runner and test cases.

Ask any software developer about what they dread the most in the hiring process and they'll all say it's the coding interview. Four of my technical mentors launched a tool for developers at all levels to help them crush their technical interviews. Godspeed to @matanzg, @omer, @rafizik and @dan_shalev

Great hunt, scheduled an interview, though there is some parse error when I try to add it to my Google calendar. Do have a look.

@gadgeek thank you for the kind words. We are checking the parse error as we speak. Thanks for letting us know.

One to one interview is very different than practicing coding problems alone. This is going to super useful for anyone preparing software engineering interview.

@keyul couldn't agree more. Practicing alone can help you only so much. To be really prepared for interviews - and coping with the pressure of a total stranger looking over you shoulder and evaluating you - one-to-on technical mock interviews is most effective way of practicing.

Great product. Being an interviewer helps a lot at understanding what things interviewer expects. Thanks. Is it possible to add some functionality, so if both candidates agree to share their contacts or something. Because sometimes you see really good candidate, and maybe have a job position for them
