How Deepan Achieved a 43% Salary Hike via IK’s Engineering Manager Program
I’m a Bangalore-based engineering leader with nearly 20 years in financial systems, including 11 years at Société Générale. I was stable but stagnant and felt the need to catch up with fast-evolving product-led tech ecosystems.
I aimed to break into high-growth product companies, redesign my resume and interview approach, and gain mentorship to shift from finance to leadership roles in modern tech. IK’s Engineering Manager Track offered the structured upskilling I needed
My resume lacked clarity and I wasn’t getting interview calls. IK’s mock interviews, mentor connects, and platform support reshaped my approach. Determined, I pushed through midlife career anxiety with intentional strategy and support.
I secured multiple interviews including final rounds at McKinsey and an offer from Target India with a 43% hike and leadership role. This jump boosted my confidence financially and professionally. I continue upskilling in Machine Learning at IK.
Don’t stay in comfort zones—commit to hard work, find mentors, use structured interview prep, and invest in yourself. Career breakthroughs require discomfort and dedication.
