Interview Kickstart helped me learn a lot.
Interview Kickstart team helped me learn a lot of information that I was not aware of before. I feel really good in terms of System Design and my leadership skills. I was not able to uplevel my job because of the market right now but I am confident that I will be able to do that in future.
The best thing for me was the mock interviews. That really helped me a ton.Student Success Advocate of Interview Kickstart

Data Science Master
The curriculum and the module were excellent.
Also, the responses and support provided by the Support team is of superior quality.
The Coding part gives us an excellent base for any online coding assessment. This is followed by the core courses in a very detailed oriented manner. Also, the one-one/ interview mocks ups were an opportunity to preparing for any interviews.

Best Investment for My Career!
I was hesitant at first because of the price but after watching Omkar's sample vid on one of job portals and attending the initial orientation, I got sold. I couldn't be happier. IK is very different from other crowd-sourced and do-it-yourself sites. The lessons and guidance are very comprehensive yet presented in a way that non-CS and less experienced folks like me can understand easily.

I couldn't be happier. IK is very different from other crowd-sourced and do-it-yourself sites. The lessons and guidance are very comprehensive yet presented in a way that non-CS and less experienced folks like me can understand easily. It also has an extensive human element on it - you talk and interact with people in the industry for advice and strategy! It's like having a team behind you which objective is nothing but your success. If you are stuck and need expert help, it's an email away. The bonus is that the materials which you will own can be referenced for your production work too (I just did! ;). This is probably the best investment for my career.
