Software Engineer II at Amazon Web Services

“I was able to get experience with technical interviewing as well as tips and tricks from attending the various workshops. I also was able to get 1:1 resume help and career advice which led to me landing a new job. Brilliant Black Minds has been instrumental in helping me feel more prepared and more confident while connecting me with a huge network of individuals who I can call upon.”

Software Engineer 2 at Intuit

“When I first joined it was just mock interviews and feedback, then it got even better with the introduction of the Partners of Brilliance program. Some people just join groups and don’t look back but when I tell people about BBM I always lead with the mock interviews. The program has helped me to improve my resume via career coaches or other members and informed me about the value of networking and attending various tech events/conferences instead of just “blindly” sending out applications.”

Software Engineer at Flatiron Health

“Doing practice technical interviews and receiving actionable feedback with Brilliant Black Minds absolutely changed the game for me. From my first practice interview, I got feedback on better ways to study for technical interviews and within a few months secured a job at one of my dream companies. I am so so grateful to the people at Karat / Brilliant Black Minds for bringing this kind of knowledge to Black engineers. I would not have secured this role without them.”
