I agree. While I will use their resume review when I look for a future position, I by no means will be relying solely on advice they provide. I will say I did love the alum pair programming sessions I participated in where we would take turns solving various selected medium/hard

At Formation we also believe in the value of peer mock interviews and do those too, but imagine having unlimited mock interviews with actual senior FAANG engineers who run them like the real deal... just a different level of prep for a different target role.
Again, just illustrating the difference and this is with my Formation, biased, hat on because my team has received some nasty emails from Codemsith grads like 'Never email me again, Codesmith gives us all we need forever' and such so clearing that up is self serving for me but I feel compelled in this context.
I've seen people get a little help with mocks and negotiation from Codesmith for future job transitions and not use any paid service, so I'm absolutely not saying anyone needs or doesn't need this, it's ultimately a personal choice, but just want the options out there as clear as possible so people can decide on their own.
