Had a mock interview with Meta today

Very different things. I think we are somewhat competitive but we're more directly competitive with Interview Kickstart than Interviewing.io. **Interviewing.io:** - Good to do one or two interviews if you have an upcoming interview and have no idea if you are prepared - Good for benchmarking - you know how close to the bar you are. - Okay/but less good at levelling up - you can buy interview packages and get 1-1 feedback, but it's limited to coaching sessions and there isn't day to day or broader job hunting support - Not good if you need 5+ mocks with senior people as the cost will be closer to Formation cost and Formation gives you a ton more value. **Formation:** - Ultimate goal - get you the highest chance of passing top tier interviews and identifying and getting you whatever mentorship and practice you need to get there - Very broad coverage - DS&A, SD, technical behavioral, resume, job hunt support, negotiation, unlimited mock interviews, all included in the cost. - The downside is you rely on us to set your schedule: sessions, practice, mocks, etc... when we think you need them (and make adjustments based on what you think you need). So you can't just do 1000 mocks because you want to, you have to rely on our judgement for when you need specific mocks, and practice and trust our assessment of how you are doing relative to the top tier bar - Dedicated team of 3 staff members to monitor your progress, support, assign you things, handle logistics and make adjustments - Generally speaking, Formation is good if your job timeline is flexible because everyone takes different amounts of time to get ready. You show up and we figure out where you are at skills-wise and we get you to the top tier bar, and then encourage you to interview. So if you have a hard/fixed interview date, then we get you the best prepared possible, but can't guarantee you'll be at that bar by then. I still think it's a good deal to do it for 1 month - give it 110% to prepare for fixed interviews and get as prepared as possible - compared to other options. Happy to answer more questions, easier to go back and forth than write a monologue lol.
