Arvind Telharkar started mentoring those attempting to enter the tech sector on social media over three years ago. With his in-depth understanding of the companies of FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google), it's no wonder he has accumulated over 14,000 followers on LinkedIn in the USA, Canada, and India. His insights are invaluable for those seeking a career in FAANG, and they all started with the free prep material he posted online.

The impact of that advice was reflected in the number of messages he received weekly from people requesting insights into their job search. After successfully helping place engineers in tech industry jobs, Telharkar has now decided to do more with his "coffee and chat" requests.

"I have already spent a great deal of time volunteering to help people in need, asking for nothing in return. I am going to convert this into a proper business going ahead," Telharkar explains.

As a seasoned FAANG interviewer, Telharkar is qualified to advise job seekers, and his mentorship is invaluable. He offers a wealth of information based on his time interviewing applicants in the tech sector. He has worked at Amazon for more than five years, and his career has spanned three different businesses within the company. These include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Consumer Payments (their retail website), and Alexa. His extensive experience places him in an advantageous position above his competitors.

"I have expertise in architecting highly scalable services in the cloud as well as artificial intelligence," he explains.

Telharkar's free advice on social media has continued to garner high engagement among his followers on LinkedIn, and his follower count continues to rise. His popularity is a testament to the value and impact of his advice. In a competitive industry, every job applicant is looking for an advantage. Telharkar anticipates that the tech industry will continue to grow, increasing the need for his services.

"Tech is going to get bigger by the day with the advent of AI," Telharkar says.

As he plans to branch out his consulting and coaching into a business, Telharkar emphasizes how important it is for people hoping to break into the tech industry to have personalized feedback when preparing to apply. Many of his competitors have a generic template for interviewing, which Telharkar says doesn't work.

"If that had worked, everyone would have cracked Amazon and FAANG interviews in general," he explains.

More personalized strategies are the key to a successful interviewing process. Telharkar's advice addresses the specific needs of the individuals he coaches. He stresses that what works for one person might not work for another. Telharkar offers a complete package for his clients that covers "creating the right resume, how to position themselves in the interview, mock interviews, and detailed personalized feedback."

The tailored coaching that Telharkar provides is helpful not only to those seeking entry-level jobs but to experienced engineers as well. Many challenges have to be addressed in tech interviews, and Telharkar understands how to help each individual achieve their dream role within leading tech companies.

Arvind Telharkar's track record helping candidates continues to garner attention worldwide as he prepares to launch his new endeavor.
