An amazing resource for FAANG interviews
The course content is well organized and amazing. It not only covers the technical skills but also focuses on preparing the behavioral interview. The mock interview sessions (part of the program) helped me get over the anxiety around interviews and identify my weak areas.

I used both technical and career coaching sessions to get better and felt very comfortable when it was time for real interviews. The program supports you all the way to offer negotiation and provides you with strategic advice to maximize your offer. I did a career shift from Mechanical/Civil engineering space to an SWE role at one of the FAANG companies. All this would not have been possible without the IK program. The course provides a good structure to focus on topics and algorithms which are more important for FAANG interviews.Student Success Advocate of Interview Kickstart

The curriculum and practice problems are very well selected. I did not have to look at any other material. The classes are well-paced. Mock interviews helped in gaining confidence and experience. System-design coaching sessions were very helpful. I was able to pass all my interviews and got multiple offers from FAANG companies. The icing on the cake, offer negotiation: I was able to increase the TC by 15% with the help of tips I was offered in my 1:1 offer negotiation session.Student Success Advocate of Interview Kickstart

Interview Kickstart Review
Interview Kickstart was a good experience for me as I was able to really focus and practice specific skills. I think that although it was helpful for me, a lot of the material available was targeted for people with more experience in the technology industry and as an undergraduate student, I wasn't able to engage with all the material as it was more advanced than what I was looking for. This being said, I like that all this material will be available for me in the future when I need it a...Interview Kickstart was a good experience for me as I was able to really focus and practice specific skills. I think that although it was helpful for me, a lot of the material available was targeted for people with more experience in the technology industry and as an undergraduate student, I wasn't able to engage with all the material as it was more advanced than what I was looking for. This being said, I like that all this material will be available for me in the future when I need it and that any material I would want ti practice again and relearn is easily accessible. I liked the instructors for the course as they were very clear at explaining. The classes were a bit long and hard to pay attention to every part of the lesson, but having them recorded made it easy for me to view and fast forward parts at any time. I really valued the professional development most out of everything. I was able to fix my resume with several resume reviews, add useful details to my LinkedIn, and get general interview advice that I found to be really helpful. The mock interviews were also very helpful, mostly to practice and clear interview nervousness before a real one. I always appreciated the feedback given after each interview and being able to talk to people who worked at big companies to learn about their experiences.Student Success Advocate of Interview Kickstart

Best course for Interview prep!
IK program is a great way to prepare for interviews while working full-time. It provides an efficient schedule, focuses on the important aspects of interviews and adds structure to the preparation. The instructors are experienced and have a knack for teaching. Mock interviews are the most helpful part of the entire curriculum. I found out exactly what I did wrong before interviewing in the real world.Student Success Advocate of Interview Kickstart
