everyone grinds leetcode but nobody practices the actual interview conversation — so i built something for that

i kept seeing the same pattern: people would ace the technical screen, then completely fumble when asked "walk me through your resume" or "why are you interested in this role."

disclosure upfront: i'm vamshi, i built this tool (nxtinterview.com), so take this with that context.

the insight hit me after helping a friend prep for faang interviews. he'd done 300+ leetcode problems. could invert a binary tree in his sleep. but when i asked him to explain a project on his resume, he rambled for 3 minutes without a clear point.

we spend hundreds of hours on algorithm problems but almost zero structured time on the actual conversation part — articulating your experience, answering behavioral questions under pressure, thinking out loud coherently.

so i built nxtinterview to fill that specific gap. you can run mock interviews that feel like the real thing (timed, realistic questions, pressure), practice explaining your resume out loud, prep for common questions with your actual background in mind.

it's not a course or a question bank you read passively. it's deliberate practice for the speaking part of interviews — the thing that actually makes or breaks you in the room.

i'm running it solo, still early, but it's helping people show up more confident and articulate. if you've ever frozen when asked "tell me about yourself" despite knowing your stuff cold, that's the problem this tries to solve.

happy to answer questions about how it works or the thinking behind it. mostly just wanted to share the insight — leetcode is necessary but not sufficient.
