Interview Kickstart

I highly recommend IK's Algorithms & data structures program. Omkar and Reza are two instructors that I cannot thank enough. They also have a great operation team answering any questions or concerns 24/7. When I joined IK's seminar for the first time... Read More there was one sentence that convinced me to give them a try. They claimed to teach us how to identify and recognize patterns in different problems and they truly delivered. I had some experiences as a teaching assistant for the algorithms course before joining IK, but solving a new problem in 30 minutes was not something doable for me at the time. After joining IK, I was able to pass two rounds of interviews with Amazon, as well as the first round with Google and Linkedin. I truly believe that If you commit to their curriculum and trust the process you'll see the results you are looking for.

I made the right choice by enrolling in this program. Right from the beginning, having a student advocate to guide us through the initial days was immensely helpful, and the support team has been consistently responsive and resourceful whenever needed.... Read More The course is well-structured, providing strong foundational materials that have enabled me to develop a structured approach to problem-solving. I deeply appreciate the knowledgeable instructors who have patiently covered even the minutest details, making it easy for students to grasp. The fundamental videos are invaluable in preparing me for any challenges that may arise from up-coming problems, not to mention the live lectures. However, due to family issues, I've had to go back and forth from the program, which has hindered my ability to complete it on time. I am starting to work diligently to finish within my designated support period. I kindly request the possibility of an extension for accessing the mock interviews for those who may require additional time to complete them."

I found the course work to be amazing. The problems selection helped in understanding the algorithms pretty well. The instructors were outstanding and they were very patient in answering the questions during live classes. Having a cohort setup helped... Read More in connecting with people from different work backgrounds. I just hope IK can provide extended availability of mock interviews for the ones that couldn't finish them within stipulated time of the cohort or support period. Since the course is pretty expensive it would be nice to have access to the mock interviews similar to how the course work is available for longer time. This enables people who are not looking for job right away or in case of someone who might take a while to finish the extensive course work

This is a no-nonsense platform. It is the best resource out there. Omkar's approach to teaching is out of this world. I don't think I've had a better teacher. Super professional and results-driven team with the intention of helping you. Did I mention... Read More Omkar is the best teacher?

I got to know about IK in 2021 from a friend who successfully moved to a Tier 1/2 company after taking a course from IK. Being in Phd program, I was a bit away from coding interviews and needed a refresher on Data structures and algorithms. Ik's engineering... Read More Path way program helped me to get a hold on the subject. When I joined IK, I was not able to crack easy level problems in Leetcode. Taking the course and consistently practicing coding on Uplevel helped me to tackle easy to medium level questions with confidence. And later I was able to solve hard problems with minimal hints. IK also offers a lot of supplementary materials on DSA that makes it the best program available in the market right now. Also, you can reach out to IK for all your future needs. When I had a telephone screen with a Tier 1 company, I reached out to IK for help with mock interviews. I was able to purchase mock interviews and the Student Success Advisor(SSA) helped me to get interviewers from the same company i am interviewing for, that helped me tremendously and got me through the round without any hiccups. The weekly technical coaching sessions designed for Alums help many like me to be prepared for coding interviews.

After my graduation from masters, I was quite lost on how to prepare for the interviews. The materials available online were not structured. I did not know where to begin. I found IK and my preparation got a lot more meaningful. The curriculum covered... Read More all areas related to my Data Analyst domain. The study materials, the instructors, and the homework's work great in covering all aspects of the topics in the curriculum.My preparation was well structured. The mock interviews gave great insight of how my potential job interview will be and my confidence in facing the interview is sky high. Overall, it's a fantastic course for every job seeker. Strongly recommended.

I had an opportunity to join AWS solution architect at IK. I would like to highlight that the course curriculum is well designed keeping in mind the FANG interview and its definitely going to help aspirants crack the interview for their desired role.... Read More The admin staff is supportive and all teachers are well versed in their area of expertise. Teachers always come forward to resolve any doubts both in the live classes as well as in person.

This is good platform to learn and test yourself as you would have opportunity to network and learn from people who have been in your shoes as well. Good Guidance on practising interviews and quality people from various major companies helps in interview... Read More preparation as well.

Preparing for software interviews, especially with FAANG and Tier I companies, requires considerable work. These companies operate in a different league, and cracking their interviews demands the proper techniques. Over time, the interview process has... Read More become more challenging, and for working professionals, it's ten times harder due to full-time commitments and limited preparation time. I have gone through the process and noticed a significant improvement in my coding and system design skills. The training includes excellent instructors for complex topics like Trees, Graphs, and Dynamic Programming. You'll enjoy problem-solving once you attend the classes and understand the techniques for solving problems related to these topics. However, your effort and commitment are vital. While it's a lot of work, the IK program will facilitate your journey. Knowing that you'll eventually reach a point where you can enjoy solving technical problems makes the effort worthwhile. Best Parts: Great Learning Material: Truly world-class and curated over the years. 1-on-1 Coaching Upon Request: Watching an expert solve a problem can make complex subjects flow naturally and make sense. Practice Tests and Class Problems: Helpful for reinforcing what you've learned. Mock Interviews: Instrumental in identifying blind spots in your thinking and approach. Support Period: Ongoing assistance when you need it. Joining IK will help you become a better engineer and prepare you for even the most challenging interviews. I recommend choosing IK if your goal is to improve as an engineer, not just crack a FAANG+ interview.
