Show HN: CareerCipher – A Mock Interviewing Platform
Hey HN!
My co-founder and I are launching a mock interviewing service similar to interviewing.io and pramp and we wanted to get some feedback from early users.
https://www.careercipher.dev/
If you’re preparing for a FAANG interview this service is for you! We’re currently charging $80 per interview and offer behavioral, algorithmic, and system design mock interviews, but we’re open to hearing feedback about what works for everyone.
We’re both interviewers at Amazon and Facebook, and have assembled a team of experienced FAANG interviewers to conduct mock interviews at Career Cipher. If you’re an interviewer looking to pick up more work, we’re hiring!

- manuelabeledo 5y ago> For the longest time, interviews at top tier tech companies have been broken in the sense that there's a big difference between what you work on day-to-day and what you get asked in an interview. Acknowledging this and building a platform to perpetuate it? Am I missing something?
- jnguyen64 5y agoNot missing anything at all. I wish the same effort that people put into companies like this were instead put towards fixing the system instead. Even places like interviewing.io acknowledge the problem (Example: https://blog.interviewing.io/you-cant-fix-diversity-in-tech-without-fixing-the-technical-interview/ https://blog.interviewing.io/you-cant-fix-diversity-in-tech-...) but their whole business operates on the basis of making sure the technical interview never changes.
- kmmrinal 5y agoI think having affordable mock interview platforms makes sense. Everyone would love to unbreak the seemingly broken tech interviews, and the platforms should adapt to whatever interview format companies pivot to. As of now, the more practical solution is to prepare candidates for what they are up against.
