After two unsuccessful attempts with Facebook, I finally made it on my third attempt, after I booked a private coaching session with Malena. Malena explained the rules of the game when interviewing with Facebook, provided me with invaluable insights and tips during our practice session, and helped me improve my frameworks and presentation. I will join Facebook as a product manager in one of their enterprise products teams! If you plan on interviewing with a big tech firm, Malena is a resource you should definitely use.
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!
I just wanted to pass a quick note to thank you for fostering this awesome community. I signed up for a purely functional reason of watching videos and practicing mock interviews with others, but I'm walking away with so much more than that. With 90+ mocks completed, I met smart, kind, capable people empowering and helping each other. I was exhausted, doubting myself, but someone from the community gave me kind words and showed empathy each time. I have met great friends that I'd love to keep in touch with. After a grueling 10 weeks, I got an offer from Meta — And the first thing that came to my mind was the awesome StellaPeers community! Thank you for hosting an awesome community and great content!
