Nty. I'm just going to sit tight and wait until the market to recover. Or until formation burns through. On another note. Formation is just leetcode with extra steps. Mentor lesson does not provide any real insight to approaching groups of similar problems. Mentors are smart and

It doesn't sound like you are making the most of your experience and using the resources available and it's our fault if you aren't making the best use of them or aware of all of your options so I really want to make sure you have all the support you are looking for. The premise of Formation is that there are tens of thousands of hours worth of free content out there and you are paying us because we consistently help people get to a top tier skill level efficiently and without having to think what to do all the time. We don't think you should pay a lot of money for content alone. So again, you should talk to someone internally about how sessions can be better. We can make all kinds of adjustments. You are paying for the engineers who built a highly adaptable system and to have a team of three full time support people in your dedicated channel and for check-ins and if you aren't communicating with us then you are indeed wasting your money and won't get the full benefit that hundreds of people have.
I'm very much aware that Formation isn't for everyone and for every 9 pieces of feedback saying that a mentor or session was amazing there is 1 that says the exact same sessions were useless and terrible. Sometimes this is indeed a training or quality issue, but sometimes it's a preference issue too and we can adjust for preferences. Regarding seniority, we have a range of mentors from two years at FAANG to Principal Spotify to Staff OpenAI to Directors and VPs so if you need more advanced 1-1 mocks for your own skill level then let us know!
