I don't understand this. Why wouldn't you just practice by interviewing with random companies? If you are hired, just counteroffer with an absurd salary require

  Not everyone has the luxury of having such an abundance of tech interviews that they can simply use some of them as practice for the "real" interviews

  Feedback, focus, efficiency. I did about session a day for maybe two or three weeks. I'll compare it to trying to practice by doing real interviews. I got much more detailed and honest feedback from my practice interviews than any real one I've had. I got to practice just the interview type I wanted, algorithms, without doing other things that would come up in a series of interviews (culture, system design, etc). I also didn't have to contact and coordinate with >= 10 companies to get 10 sessions. I just booked 10 sessions.

  I used to do interviews for interviewing.io, and it's a bit different. For my work, I'm not going to give any feedback, and will try leave early if it's not going well. When I was being paid for it via interviewing.io, I would give people fairly detailed feedback on what went well and what went wrong, and also answer any questions the mock candidate had.

  For me, I'd use a platform like interviewing.io where you'll GET actionable feedback -- most companies won't give you feedback at all, other then "here's your offer" or "nah, thanks anyway"
