[Rant] Linkedin mentors

Every second/third post on my feed is promoting some mentorship/coaching. Fed up with it.

The post starts with some gyaan ( mostly related to interview) and then ends with mentorship or coaching promo. Especially people who cracked interview at amazon and microsoft. And now any random company. Some post has pic too, which is fully unrelated to the post.

From SDE’s perspective. Job at work is different from interview. And i am sure current employees, if they have to go through interview process of the same company for the same position, most of them won’t be able to crack in the first go. ( Unless they know the exact questions to be asked ).

Coding rounds. Companies usually have a set of questions (question bank) and interviewer picks question from it. Except for the very exceptional case, it is quite difficult to solve these questions if you haven’t solved them ( or related questions) earlier in the given time. So, it all boils down to how close are you to their question bank.

So, instead of other things, if linkedin mentors posted about the questions they were asked, that would be more useful.

For eg, given all the finance influencers and people talking of money, I thought that this space is already crowded and people's finances should be sorted. But that's far from the truth. Most people are still clueless about money and what to do with them.

These mentorships/coaching programs are easy/good money. No matter how much I hate them, I think this is a much better way to earn guaranteed money rather than doing a startup and failing.
Considering all the anonymous gyaan I have given here, there still exists a gap between the gyaanis and agyaanis 😅.
