Your Final Mock Should Be a Human
Unlimited AI reps got you ready. Now pressure-test live with a vetted coach from a top company — real follow-ups, a written debrief, and a scorecard on the same rubric as your AI mocks.
- 60-minute live 1:1 in a shared interview pad
- Vetted coaches from Google, Meta, and other top companies
- One-time purchase from $250 — no subscription change
Design a read-heavy news feed - 50M DAU, 10:1 read/write - Fan-out on write vs read? - Cache: feed pages, TTL 60s - Postgres + replicas, shard by user_id
“Walk me through what breaks first at 10x traffic. Would you still fan out on write?”
Strong requirements gathering. Push capacity estimates earlier — sharding didn't come up until minute 40. Run two more reps on write-heavy designs before the onsite.

One Progress Line, Not Two Opinions
Outside coaches hand you notes that live in a Google Doc and die there. Your Apex coach scores you on the exact rubric the AI uses, so the human read lands in the same progress history as your reps — and you can see whether the weakness they flagged actually closes.
Why the rubric mattersVetted interviewers, not influencers
Real Loop Experience
Coaches come from top tech companies and have sat on the other side of real hiring loops.
Calibrated Before They Coach
Every coach is vetted and calibrated against the Apex rubric before they take a single session.
Company and Specialty, Not Personal Brand
You pick a coach by where they've interviewed and what they cover — “Coach from Google, System Design” — not by follower count.
Questions, answered
Who are the coaches?
What exactly does a session include?
Do I need a subscription?
What if my track has no available coach?
