Quick context on my background,

I'm coming out of 1 year break and want to brush off my interview skills. I have about 8 years of experience in product and 10 years overall. I have worked in consumer and saas both but my profile is consumer - fintech heavy. Applying for senior product roles.

Problem: I tried to do the mock interview session with some of my friends but I sense some hesitation in giving honest feedback. I feel you should mock interview with someone who has cracked the art of conducting and cracking the interviews.

I want to find some communities/people where I can find people who I can mock interview with and people who can help me improve. How have you folks found the interview partners?

For quick context, I'm 10 yoe with 8 years in product. I got a call recently from timespro which helps people do the certification courses from these IIMs. Im sure at some point, everyone in this sub has gotten these calls.

I have not done any post graduation and I have an engineering degree from tier 2 college. Is there anyone here who can weigh in if such executive distance MBAs better the chances of getting a call back when you are in interview process or get the visibility to your profile given the context?

Also I'm aware that no MBA can actually make you better at your job. I'm purely asking from optics perspective.

PS: Can you really call it an MBA or executive MBA is also a question but everyone keeps iterating that it is called exec MBA so idk anymore)?
