A bundle of five company-specific question courses covering the problems most often reported from Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Oracle coding rounds, each split into easy, medium and hard sets with worked solutions. It suits candidates who already know the core patterns and have a loop booked at one of these companies, and want to rehearse on the questions those interviewers are known to ask.

A practical course on negotiating compensation in tech, from preparing and building a strategy to specific tactics, the full package beyond base salary, handling multiple offers and asking for a raise. It has tailored sections for fresh graduates and experienced engineers. It suits anyone with an offer coming, and anyone who has ever accepted the first number out of discomfort.

A quick-revision companion to the DSA roadmap in nine chapters: complexity, arrays and hashing, linked lists, stacks and queues, recursion, sorting and searching, trees and heaps, graphs, coding patterns, dynamic programming and timed practice habits. Costs are stated for every structure and algorithm, in Python, Java, C++ or JavaScript editions. Use it after each roadmap stage and before a contest or coding round.

An eight-stage path from Big-O through arrays, hashing, recursion, trees, graphs, coding patterns and dynamic programming to timed, mixed practice, in Python, Java, C++ or JavaScript. It suits students and developers who can write code but freeze on problems with no obvious library call. By the end you can pick the right data structure, recognise common problem shapes and solve a medium problem in about 35 minutes with edge cases tested.

A sequenced path of six text-based courses for the engineering manager interview loop, combining coding, system design, microservices patterns, people management scenarios and senior leadership questions. It suits engineers moving into management and managers changing companies, who need to prepare for both the technical and the leadership rounds without piecing a plan together themselves.
