Success Stories

I worked with Malena in 2025 to prepare for Product Manager interviews at Meta, and I'm proud to say I received an offer. I directly credit Malena's coaching for getting me there.

What stood out most about Malena was how structured and intentional her approach was. From the very beginning, she quickly identified my strengths and weaknesses, and built a coaching plan tailored specifically to me. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, every session was purposeful, helping me double down on what I was already doing well while systematically closing the gaps where I needed to improve. I could feel myself getting stronger with each session.

Her feedback was always practical, specific, and immediately actionable. No vague advice, just clear, honest guidance that I could apply right away. And beyond the frameworks and methodology, what truly impressed me was how deeply invested she was in my success. Her dedication made it feel less like hiring a coach and more like having a true partner in the process.

I went into my Meta interviews feeling genuinely confident, and I landed a PM role offer at a time when very few candidates were receiving offers. If you are serious about breaking into Meta or any top-tier tech company, working with Malena is one of the best investments you can make in your career.

Thank you, Malena, couldn't have done it without you!

I couldn't have passed Meta's PM interview without Malena's coaching. She has a nuanced understanding of Meta's interview process and what the interviewers look for at every step of the product sense and execution interviews. When I practiced with other peers, I noticed the difference in my level of responses which was only because of Malena's instruction. We spent an entire session working on the fundamental basics of the execution interview which set me up for success. During my interviews, I could tell that the interviewer was aligned with my approach at every step. She also helped me with interview debriefs so that I could analyze where to improve for the final rounds. I passed the Meta interviews on my very first attempt and attribute it to Malena's guidance. Don't hesitate and book her coaching session if you want to succeed in your Meta PM interviews.

Malena helped me prepare for Google interviews, which took my preparation to the next level. Her feedback provided a lot of clarity and insights into my strengths and opportunities as a candidate, which was instrumental in getting the offer. I would definitely work with her the next time I am interviewing to assess where I am before the actual interview. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interviewing for PM roles in big tech companies.

Hi Malena, I’m excited to let you know that I successfully received the offer as the Strategy and Operation Manager at Uber Eats! I wanted to thank you again for your invaluable guidance and support throughout the process. Your insights, especially around structuring my presentation and navigating the Q&A, made a world of difference. I truly appreciate the time and effort you dedicated to helping me refine my approach. The experience with you gave me the confidence and clarity I needed to succeed.

Malena helped me immeasurably with my interview prep for Meta. I tried working through it on my own at first, and working with Malena was a night and day difference. I thought I knew what I was doing, but she quickly identified my strengths and weaknesses, and then helped me continually refine my strengths and close the gap on my weaknesses. Using the frameworks and approaches Malena helped drill into my mind made the prep and actual interviews so much less stressful and scary. I went into my interviews feeling confident, and landed a great PM role at Meta in a time where VERY few people were getting through the screens; I directly credit Malena's help for getting me through it. Couldn't have done it without you, Malena!

Hi Malena, I wanted to let you know that I cleared all the interviews and that I should expect an offer next week. I cannot thank you enough for all the support you provided me, especially with segmentation. In fact, product sense was my strongest interview, which is all thanks to you and your methodology. I could not have imagined to get to this stage without your support. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. You should patent your "narrow down/where to play approach"!

I discovered StellarPeers while searching for ways to tackle case studies. The website's structure and depth impressed me, largely owing to Malena's expertise. Following an interview rejection, I booked a coaching session with Malena. Her dedicated support significantly enhanced my interview performance. After just two sessions, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my interview approach, enabling me to land PM jobs matching my skills instantly.

Malena, I just got the update from HR that I passed all the loops and converted successfully. Thank you for all the help, patience and guidance you provided in a short time frame, agreeing to do four sessions in 4 days. Your sessions were so crucial and insightful and helped me add a lot more structure to my thinking and approach, especially around analytical rounds. I needed that more than I thought, and it helped me ground myself a few days before the interview. Thank you again for doing what you do to help others. I'll always be grateful for your time.

I contacted Malena to help me prepare for the various topics covered during the Google Product Manager interview. There were only two weeks left before the interviews. She responded the same day, and we had our first coaching session the day after. Malena identified my key weaknesses, and we worked on them. Being able to answer questions right is one thing, but doing it within the short amount of time allocated is another. She was instrumental in helping me to achieve both. She provided frameworks that helped structure my answers. But what's great is that she was able to adapt them to fit better with my preferences in approaching the questions. This made me much more at ease, allowing me to answer questions in a structured and natural way. I sometimes felt a bit defeated when facing difficult topics. She was here to keep my spirits up when I was doubting. Consequently, I arrived at the interviews with a high level of confidence, and succeeded in getting my dream job as a Google PM.

Malena helped start my Google career, and she's absolutely amazing. When facing Google's interview invite, I was both excited and nervous; their <1% acceptance rate was intimidating. But Malena used her extensive coaching experience and thorough research to guide me constructively through each stage of the process. When there is a will, there is a way, and Malena really helped me to find the way.

Malena helped me take my PM interview prep to the next level. She provided great insights into how Facebook thinks as a company, key things they look for in candidates, and how to best frame responses. Without Malena's guidance, I would not have cleared the interviews and received an offer.

I reached out to Malena when preparing for my Meta onsite PM interview. I struggled with the structure, lacked depth in my answers, and had poor delivery. Malena's coaching sessions helped me overcome my weaknesses with a step-by-step approach for each focus area. Even after the coaching sessions, she kept in touch and constantly motivated me to keep preparing. When I got the senior product manager offer from Meta, she gave me many great tips to negotiate the compensation and choose the team. Because of her guidance, I was able to get a higher offer and was able to start my journey at Meta. Malena truly cares a lot about her mentees, and I highly recommend her 1x1 sessions for FAANG preparation.
