Course Overview

Negotiating your salary is a critical skill, especially in the tech industry. Generally, software engineers lack the art of negotiation despite their technical expertise as their job revolves around coding and problem-solving rather than communication and self-advocacy. Fresh graduates often feel they lack leverage, while experienced professionals may find it challenging to ask for a raise or better terms. These challenges can lead to accepting less than what you're worth, resulting in long-term financial and professional dissatisfaction. This course addresses these struggles head-on, providing you with practical strategies, insights into recruiters' tactics, and the confidence to negotiate effectively. This course is for fresh graduates and experienced software engineers who want to master salary negotiation and secure fair compensation. It will guide you through every step of the negotiation process, providing you with the tools and confidence you need to negotiate successfully. Don’t let your hard-earned skills go underappreciated—enroll today and take control of your career!

Just completed the “Grokking the system design interview”. It's amazing and super informative. Have come across very few courses that are as good as this!

Check out Grokking the Coding Interview. Instead of trying out random Algos, they break down the patterns you need to solve them. Helps immensely with retention!

This is what I love about http://designgurus.io’s Grokking the coding interview course. They teach patterns rather than solutions.

Just wanted to say thanks for your Grokking the system design interview resource (https://lnkd.in/g4Wii9r7) - it helped me immensely when I was interviewing from Tableau (very little system design exp) and helped me land 18 FAANG+ jobs!

I've completed my first pass of "grokking the System Design Interview" and I can say this was an excellent use of money and time. I've grown as a developer and now know the secrets of how to build these really giant internet systems.
