This isn't anything new except Michael Novati's company seems to charge the most. There are many ex-faang folks out there that do similar things if not the same thing for less money. I have many people on linkedin (unsolicited) that message me asking for money in return for mento

Formation is not me doing mentorship. We have a team of two dozen people who are building a platform and product that supports dynamic mentorship by giving you practice, benchmarks, and 3-5 person or 1-1 sessions with over 200 industry mentors (who are individual engineers and recruiters, many of whom are seniors plus engineers).
We have thousands of tasks you can do, hundreds of sessions across dozens of types, over a dozen mock interview types.
I'm not involved in the actual technical skill side nor do I run sessions, I build the platform and I help people that typically have senior or staff FAANG interviews with advice on preparation and helping navigate the job hunt process.
This reply is mostly for other people reading it to clarify what Formation is and that it has very little to do with me. Sophie is the founder who steers the direction of the company, she's just not on Reddit and posts all the time on LinkedIn because that's where more people look for and engage with us.
