Ask HN: Who wants to practice coding interviews together?

Thank you for posting this. It seems it's easy to find friends to do interviews with, but it is not. When I was looking for a job, following are the services I have found. Some of these may help (not affiliated with either):

1. Pramp.com: Practice technical interviews

Downside: Not very effective if you find an interviewer that is casual. Conducting interviews is a skill. The interviewer needs to have a good command over the problem and its nuances.

Upside: free

2. http://Interviewkickstart.com: Full-on practice and mock interviewing. Run by a former Director of Engineering.

Downside: Serious cash

Upside: Very effective

3. interviewing.io: Chatroulette for technical interviewing. Run by a recruiter? engineer? Can't tell.

4. https://careercup.evisors.com/search: Careercup used to be awesome, but it seems a bit bloated now.

Hope this helps!

Interviewing.io is a company started by a recruiter who used to be an engineer.

Founder of interviewing.io here. I'm an engineer who did recruiting for a few years to understand how exactly hiring is broken. interviewing.io is my attempt to fix things.
