    Interview Kickstart offers the best online learning for algorithm/data structure. The materials are taught like a story; easy to digest and enjoyable to go through (Kudos to Omkar). The instructors provide guidance on the thought process on how to come up with a solution during lecture and also when answering questions we ask. They have drop in technical coaching sessions everyday but I personally like sending questions/code through email and the instructors usually respond within the sa...

    Interview Kickstart

    Really strong and complex algorithms and data structure course, instructors will explain not just a top-level approach but most of the topics in conceptual depth as well as multiple ways to approach problems and the most suitable strategies. 
    Although it's very intensive so be ready to spend all of your free time on it and even more :) 
    The system design part is also pretty good.

    Overall review of IK Program

    Mid 2021, i started preparing for technical interviews on my own. However, soon i found myself lost in between learning and finding content from different sources. This was my main reason to sign up for IK Interview Prep class. They provided proper structure of topics to learn, they shared different coding problem patterns and their content is clear and easy to understand. IK Support team is also great and very responsive. Interview prep will require your full attention and good amount o...

    Thank you IK!!

    After working at the same company for ~7 years, I had decided to make a career transition. I learnt about IK and signed up for the intro session. After listening to the intro session & next few followup sessions, I knew I needed what IK is offering (for career transition as well as to uplevel myself).

    IK offers:
    1. High quality study material.

    Highly Recommend the experienced software engineer track

    Had a great experience--both the technical prep and career strategy components were incredibly valuable.  you have to put in the work (prepare to study non-stop for several consecutive months) but it you do, the program works.

    I was apprehensive when I joined Interview Kickstart but the experience was very rewarding. There are several great instructors who not only have the experience of working at amazing companies but are also great teachers. There are times when an instructor might not be very good and this is why I am not giving the overall experience a 5 start but what makes up for this is the presence of recorded videos of other instructors as well. The overall experience right from algorithms, system de...

    Excellent course

    I came to Interview kickstart last year and learnt so much. The reading material before classes is very helpful for the basics and particularly the lecture videos from mr. omkar is simply amazing. The way he explains in his videos is very easy to understand. I feel more confident when I have to solve problems now and to give interviews. Thank you interview kickstart and mr. omkar for his videos. Definitely recommending.
