Have you heard about Interview Kickstart? What are your thoughts? I went to a webinar of theirs and their program seems solid. They get FAANG veterans to train their recruits on specific tech domains, coding strategies, system design all the way to less technical aspects like resume building and mock interview grading, for FAANG companies. Their program seems to be geared towards people higher up the tech chain (Sen.devs, Archs Mgrs etc) but they claim a fair share of their cohorts are freshers. I have spent 1.5 years at a consultancy company, currently working there as a support engineer (not alot of coding opportunities). Hoping to make a more technical switch. Given the structured approach IK gives to their interview prep, praises from online reviews and their claimed success rate, it seemed like a no-brainer. Up until the point I had to cough up over 6 grand. Do you think it's worth the price?
Is this an ad?
Yes, self/paid promotion
Reading back, it does sound more like promotion than inquiry. But no, just wanted to see what others thought
Waste of money.
What would you recommend
Elements of Programming Interviews and leetcode are more than sufficient.
Picking any of the track from that picture would cost 6 grand? Any money back if not getting into FANG ?
From what I understand if after taking 6 interviews and aren't able to get a job, they reimburse 2.4k
Yes, it was worth it for me. Even though I am now in FAANG, I still look at their new material as they teach innovative techniques you won't get on Leetcode or books for the same problems that are easier to understand.
Oh really, we're you in a fresher or more senior role

This sounds so fake
Did you all do the program with or without systems design? It’s more than twice as much with systems o.0

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Was getting lengthy on the topic. Can answer additional questions on what I know about IK
Did you end up doing IK? If so, what was your experience?
