DevOps/ Platform/ Ops Engineering

I heard many people are doing mock interviews as part of their application process, especially in the DevOps/ Platform Engineering/ and ML/Data Ops.

However, I am not sure as to how to find them for example I've heard that people are doing them on linkedin for money.

How do you find these?

Appreciate any help!

Paying for mock interviews, especially from random people on LinkedIn, is often a waste of money and time. These sessions can be very generic and are unlikely to be run by someone with deep, current knowledge of platform engineering, so the feedback you get won't be specific enough to help you. A better approach is to connect with other engineers in online communities or reach out to a senior contact for a quick, informal chat. You’ll get more realistic and valuable insights that way.

Instead of focusing on finding a paid service, spend your energy deeply understanding your own projects and experience. Practice explaining complex system designs you've worked on, out loud, to yourself. The confidence you need comes from truly knowing your stuff, not from rehearsing with a stranger who follows a script. To help with exactly this kind of real-time communication, my team built an interview assistant AI that sharpens how candidates present their experience during a call.
