Entering into any field as a new worker can be incredibly stressful and anxiety-inducing, but when it comes to the tech field, this seems to be doubly true. The tech field is one full of ever-evolving innovations and inventions, complete with top-of-their-field experts who know everything there is to know on their given topics of choice, and becoming someone who stands shoulder-to-shoulder with them in a business setting can feel overwhelming. For these very reasons, Arvind Telharkar is here to help. An experienced worker in the tech field, Arvind is on a mission to democratize access to top tech roles by providing targeted, expert-led interview coaching for aspiring software engineers.
Arvind’s deep expertise in the tech industry and his strategic approach to interview preparation uniquely position him to help candidates from diverse backgrounds succeed in the highly competitive world of FAANG companies.
Mission to Democratize Access
Arvind is committed to making top tech roles accessible to a wider range of candidates by offering specialized coaching tailored to individual strengths and weaknesses. While others might provide a one-size-fits-all coaching style, Arvind is interested in crafting handmade, bespoke lessons for each individual to specifically accentuate their skills.
As Arvind says, “Tech is going to get bigger by the day with the advent of AI. Helping people break into tech enables entry-level software engineers or new graduates to break into the absolute best tech companies (FAANG) with consulting and coaching.” As a coach, Arvind offers “A complete package of creating the right resume, how to position themselves in the interview, mock interviews, and detailed personalized feedback,” all of which will be coming from a seasoned and highly experienced FAANG interviewer who knows the ins-and-outs of the business.
Proven Industry Expertise
Arvind has spent nearly six years at Amazon across multiple business units, providing him with insider knowledge and deep insight, which he now shares through his coaching sessions.
“I have extensive experience in interviewing candidates in the tech industry. Many other competitors are not experienced enough and, as a result, have more of a generic template for interviewing. If those forms of coaching truly worked, then everyone would have cracked Amazon and FAANG interviews in general.”
Arvind’s strategies are more personalized, catering to the needs of the specific individual, and specially designed to impart a genuine understanding of how these companies function and how you can best succeed within them.
Customized Interview Strategies
Arvind’s approach is not one-size-fits-all; he develops personalized interview strategies that cater to the unique needs of each candidate. He’s been operating this way for years as a coach and has found it immensely beneficial to his clients and the field at large.
“My mentoring journey began towards the end of 2021. I have worked at Amazon across three different businesses (AWS, Consumer payments and Alexa). I have expertise in architecting highly scalable services in the cloud as well as artificial intelligence.”
To further solidify potential clients’ trust in him as an indisputable authority in this area, Arvind also shares free resources on LinkedIn, which have received stellar engagement and appreciation.
Growing Influence and Engagement
With a strong presence on LinkedIn and a following of over 14,000, Arvind is rapidly building his reputation as a go-to mentor for tech interview preparation.
“I have been doing this on a personal level now for over three years. I have 8K+ followers (USA, Canada, India) on LinkedIn, and I get great engagement from my followers over the prep material I post online for free. I get several DMs every week asking for a coffee chat and advice.”
That’s why, moving forward, Arvind Telharkar is engaging in furthering his efforts into mentoring aspiring FAANG engineers.
