Is the 'staff' mode different from the 'general' mode?

Yes, the Staff+ mode is specifically designed to provide significantly more pushback, focusing on multi-region scaling, distributed transaction coordination, and complex trade-offs.

Can I practice specific problems like a URL shortener or a recommendation system?

Absolutely. You can provide a problem hint in the arguments or let the AI select a surprise problem from its extensive library based on your chosen track.

What types of interviews can I practice with this skill?

You can choose from four specialized tracks: General architecture (classic problems), ML system design, Data engineering, or Staff+ level interviews for high-seniority roles.

How long does a typical mock interview session last?

The skill allows you to configure the session for 30, 45, or 60 minutes to simulate the exact constraints of the company you are interviewing with.

Does it provide a score or feedback after the session?

Yes, it generates a comprehensive feedback report including a hiring rating (Strong Hire to No Hire), an assessment of your level, specific strengths, and areas for improvement.
