Worked out really well in the end…
Joined IK to join AWS as SA but ended up joining a big Financial Services company with comparable pay.
The support they have given during offer negotiation process is super valuable and the results show the course has paid for itself.
Although I didn’t crack AWS, FAANG is not the only game in town. - AnonymousSenior Software Engineer • ApplicantApr 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Curriculum and Instructors
I joined IK and took the level up program. The Course Materials, Instructors and the support team is top notch. The course is well designed for a working professional. Attending seminars, classes and coaching I had always learned something new (new approach to solve a problem, alternate designs). Prior joining IK I was giving loop interviews but was not getting an offer. After joining IK within 4 months I was able to get 3 FT offers. Overall very efficient and resourceful. - AnonymousSenior Software Engineer • Graduate • Master Class (Default) Interview Course • San JoseApr 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great learning experience at IK
I had a great experience with Interview Kickstart. I was one of the early students that used this program. Prior to this program, I was finding it problematic to solve algorithms quickly. Here I learned speed. Don't expect to see magic, you will need to do a lot of practice and IK will provide the structure and support for it. While I learned a lot of things in the program, dynamic programming, and string classes are my favorite. Thank you, IK for offering such a valuable course! - AnonymousStudentApr 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Comprehensive Support for Interview Prep
Interviewing has always been difficult for me as I always had this feeling of anxiety.

My confidence was really low and I always thought to myself that there should be some structured way of preparing for interviews and that's where I came across IK. IK has put together different aspects of interviewing in a well-defined prep-plan starting with coding, system design and career counseling.The modules follow the structured approach for instance in coding, its starts with foundational videos, live class and then a practice problem set that really helps to understand the topic in depth and gain that inner confidence of facing the interviews for that particular topic.The relevant technical books available are theoretical and doesn't really prepare you for interviewing. At IK, they take you through a problem-solving mode that is really required for you to crack interviews and they do it in a very structured pattern. This program has really helped me push my confidence and face interviews specifically given a problem thinking through it organically and coming up with the best approach that is interview acceptable. Kudos to the methodology designed at IK. - AnonymousStudent • Data Engineering Interview Preparation • San JoseMar 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Intense, effective and efficient.
The Foundation material, live classes, assignments, curated material, and practical problems gave me the scope and direction I needed. It is an excellent use of time. To be effective and efficient, combine IK assistance with your own hard work. Practice, practice, and practice some more. Best wishes. That's all there is to it. - AnonymousStudentMar 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Excellent Program
This is one of the best interview prep programs out there. They have live classes for each topic and recordings of previous sessions so you get multiple instructors on the same topic.
They also have tutors available through out the week including evenings and weekends to help with your coding assignments.

Overall, I think it is a great investment as you get a lifetime access to the course material and can be used for future interview prep. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Interview Preparation • San JoseMar 21, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Interview Kickstart Data Science Interview Course
Do not fall in this trap, this is the worst course designed and these people will sound and sell it to you like your dream interview package but this is all to get the money out of your pocket and no refund even if you dont like. %0% refund has so many conditions that you will not get a single penny. Beware of their Advisor calls specially Raghuveer.
