Here are a few testimonials about "How to Get First-Round Interviews at Tech Companies" and the related resources:

"Just wanted to touch base again and say that the book is super helpful and insightful! Thanks a lot." -Chris, Product Manager, Epic

"Matt -- this is Jedi-like material you're creating! Thank you! I've disqualified two companies based on your tactics and the informational interviews I've done. This has been the most helpful part of your philosophy -- to not be shy about nuking companies based on the info you gather about them in these informal settings. The other thing that's been most helpful is the advice you have surrounding the precise language to use in emails -- e.g., the options for days to meet that you give people should be several days into the future, not "rightthisminute!", so that increases the chances that the person will be free. Also, giving _specific_ times that you'd like to talk, to make it easier for the person to accept. I think the inclination is to say something like "I'll clear my calendar so that we can meet whenever's good for you," in an effort to make it easy for the other person, but this actually forces them to think/decide. These tips are not common sense for someone like me, so they've been very helpful." -Todd, Director of Product Management

"Hope you’re well! I wanted to pass along the news that I accepted an offer as an Associate Product Manager at Rally Health. Thank you so much for your support along this journey." -David, APM, Rally Health
