Would engineers be interested in a technical prep consultant?

Question

Hi, apologies if this is the wrong thing to post, please delete as needed.I've been a technical recruiter for 10+ years at major FAANG companies and startups, working on niche specialized roles. I used to come to Hacker News regularly to check "Who Wants To Be Hired," as I always like a more independent hacker mindset in engineers.Would engineers here on Hacker News be interested in any interview prep consultation? I've been thinking about taking a sabbatical to travel, but I would stay active with work by offering consulting on technical prep and interview help.I'm more just testing the waters here, but I would be open to doing a few free prep calls with anyone who has interviews lined up. The only ask is I would want updates on how thing went, and what you think the helpw as worth.

I have a hard time believing you are a recruiter for any FAANG company. They have internal recruiters. Are you a &ldquo;recruiter&rdquo; who farms out contractors to BigTech companies?

Absolutely not. Why would I ever want to hire a recruiter for anything? When every recruiter thinks it's perfectly okay to ghost candidates and post fake job ads, especially "big tech" recruiters, that's not the stellar reputational background you seem to think it is.
