I wish there was a term for businesses like Formation. "Career advancement mentorship"? Or maybe "career advancement consultancy"? There are a few out there that are non-US that provide similar services and don't fall into the classic bootcamp category since they're only for e

Hi, yeah there just aren't that many of us around because it's kind of a new idea. We compete with Pathrise and Interview Kickstart directly. Interview Prep or Career Accelerator maybe?
The idea of getting like a "personal trainer" for your career is kind of new and some people are still shy about sharing that they went to these places.
As you pointed out it's crazy different to have like 10+ year Google hiring managers who have really seen a lot and genuinely have insights advise you than at a bootcamp where an alumni who worked at Google for a year is advising you who hasn't interviewed anyone yet, neverless managed, or done dozens of hiring committee reviews, etc...
On the recruitment side, it's not super lucrative yet for these companies. There are still so many people applying naturally big tech doesn't really need to partner with anyone and there has to be a reason. Will these companies save time/money in skipping screening interviews? Will they send over better people who the companies would have otherwise skipped? Could the companies advertise to these places so the engineer will choose those companies?
Lots of possibilities, nothing yet has happened.
