Pramp 2.0

Maker

Nothing makes us happier than knowing that within a short period of time we’ve, literally, helped tens of thousands of developers land software engineer jobs. We are fortunate to see Pramp growing fast and the difference it makes on the lives of software engineers. Check out this blog post written by a Stanford grad who used Pramp: https://lkloh.github.io/technica.... Here’s one paragraph from it: “… I continued using Pramp with more success, and many other interview partners. It’s a lot easier to focus and push through a hard problem when there is a real human being there judging you. One of my interview partners, even turned out to be a hiring manager from Amazon, and I must have impressed him sufficiently as he later recommended me for an on-site interview at Amazon! So, users of Pramp, treat every interview like its a real one – because I essentially got to bypass the phone screen at Amazon through Pramp.”

Thank you @datarade for the hunt. Hi all! A co-maker of Pramp here. One of the mistakes that software engineers (especially senior ones) often make is to think that having great coding skills and experience guarantee success in technical interviews. This is incorrect. Being a good programmer has a surprisingly small role in passing programming interviews since interviewing and coding are fundamentally two different skills. The good news is that interviewing is a skill that can be learned simply by practicing. Or to be more specific, by doing technical mock interviews. That’s why my co-makers and I created Pramp - to make it easy for engineers at all levels to practice with like-minded peers whenever they want, and as many times as they want. Pramp is 100% free. We'd love to answer any questions you have!

Thanks for the shout out everyone! btw, since we love using Pramp ourselves, we sometimes join users for a practice interview, so I hope to meet you all personally on Pramp :)

Great platform! Would be even better if questions and solutions are provided for "practicing with peers" as well.

@david_q_jin thanks for the kind words. We are already hosting thousands of interviews every month and one of the things we noticed was that many of users are being invited by peers they met on Pramp to onsite interviews at the companies they work at, skipping resume and phone screening. It's probably only natural for us to productize this and connect candidates and companies directly. Do you have any suggestions for us?

How do match peers exactly?

@ilankasan our pairing algorithm takes into account users' professional background, practicing needs and past performance on Pramp in order to match peers in way that maximizes their learning. The algorithm is adaptive. The more interviews you take, the better we become at matching you peers.
