I have few questions 1. Is investing 5 weeks on their Coding Interview Preparation Pathway course worth it ? 2. Do we get access to all recordings from Omkar Deshpande’s sessions ? 3. Do you become DSA solid after 5 weeks of time spent religiously? I am not a SWE but positions that I apply require me to clear coding questions of same level as SWE.Those are higher level/ pay positions if I clear Coding rounds well. So I want to be solid at DSA.
You will become solid at DSA but not in 5 weeks, will take 6 months to a year. There is a lot of content by Omkar, the 5 weeks are more like a basic foundation. The recordings are much more extensive.
May I DM you ? I would like to know about it
Please please dont even dare use IK. dont. Not worth it at all. You wont get better at Coding interviews at all. Omkar is good but his videos are purposefully long as well(So they arent shared). I could explain in longer detail but although he's a good tutor the videos are structured towards fighting piracy than helping the students. Dont use IK Interview Kickstart. They tell you it will take a few months but they purposefully teach patterns in the wrong order and waste the first 2 months giving you lectures by inexperienced people. Then once you get Omkar's lectures you realize they are pruposefully long which ruins the flow. You could get a solution better explained than Omkar on youtube. You'd get more value with Neetcode or Cracking FAANG's youtube channel and starting with easy problems. 100% waste of money. I wish I could get a refund
I was from test engineering background. Their class helped me to brush up my coding skill. Omkar is great teacher and his contents are of good quality. System design part is basic . I had to supplement it with Alex xu system design material. Overall good experience helped me in current dev role
@op did you end up joining IK ? I am in the same boat . I want to get better at coding and interview and get better TC . I come from Data engineering background
It’s scam. Practice with patience is key I think. It’s not a sprint but marathon. Keep grinding with few questions every day regardless of whether interviewing or not.
So you feel it is not good even for Omkar Deshpande ‘s content ?
Too many Lc channels on YouTube. They are good
