Software 3.0: AI-Enabled Software Development

What turned me to IK’s course is that this course is not a substitute for hard work, not a “cheat sheet” of questions but a way to actually get good at algorithms, through a lot of perspiration. The course is very intense…practice, practice, practice. And it works!.... All that practice had a long-lasting effect on my ability as a software engineer. I am simply faster at coding than I ever was…. I can keep focused on the idea if the implementation takes a few minutes as I don't get lost on implementation details anymore, so the productivity increase I experienced is greater than just the delta in time for the implementation itself.

Interview Kickstart's program met all my expectations. They have well-selected problems to practice, good coaches, and practice interview opportunities. All the staff are very responsive and approachable, they are like family now. They guide you and give excellent recommendations every step of the way. I started the program while 8-month pregnant; gave birth literally in the middle of the initial 2-month coursework. The outcome depends solely on the student, the more diligent you are, the better results you get. I am very happy for all the support and confidence IK has given me!

I was able to join Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a Software Development Engineer II after completing Interview Kickstart’s amazing training program. Cracking a FAANG company interview was a huge deal for me and a major credit for this achievement goes to Interview Kickstart's coursework and instructors. All the instructors were great.

Earlier when I was preparing 4-5 years ago, I would prepare a little, give an interview and then get back to my job. Then I would do it again but by this time I would have forgotten everything and had to refresh again. IK’s Technical Interview Training Program is very different. It was good because you start, get all the knowledge and while it’s all fresh you start giving interviews. It can get a bit overwhelming though doing all the prep because of a job and family, so you need to set aside time for that. All the instructors are good. They are thorough and knowledgeable. They don’t refer only to the curriculum, so if you ask them a different question or a different format, they are able to answer.
