12 * 7 * 2 = 168 total hours of commitment for a program I know nothing about, except that if you ask me to do something I believe is a waste of time I have to burn five figures in billable hours to ride it out and get the refund or sacrifice the $3,500.
I highly recommend you provide details of what precisely you are selling -- you've raised the stakes for all customers, so pitch me that I'll have more success with you than on my own.
- streakerbee 12y ago>> you ask me to do something I believe is a waste of time You can see the proof for yourself when you burn through the following two books within the three months. a) http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Insiders-Guide/dp/1479274836 http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Inside... b) http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-Programming-Questions/dp/098478280X http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-Programming-... You need to spend 4hrs+ on weekends though. You will get to talk to candidates already working in the top companies and will be working in a group of 20+ highly motivated and intelligent peers.
- Madmallard 12y agoThe work required for passing programming interviews is rote practice of solving problems for which you cannot immediately think of a solution. There's already hundreds of resources available to do this. Top-coder, practice-it, project euler, coding interview books, etc. etc. Teaching negotiation and soft skills are probably more valuable for the general programming population.
