Nadha Gafur

Machine Learning Engineer

Placed at:

It has been a great learning experience. The structure is really good and the materials as well. The lectures and live class pre-reading material is very informative and engaging.

Sai Marapa Reddy

SWE, Machine Learning

Placed at:

I completed IK’s program and got offers from a couple of FAANG companies. Why you should take this course: It is well tested and the focus is more on the concepts/templates rather than approaching one problem at a time. You will meet peers who have similar aspirations. You can make groups and help yourselves.

Jameson Merkow

Principal AI Engineer

Placed at:

I joined IK because I had a lot of really terrible experiences with interviews. The confidence and expertise I routinely demonstrated in the workplace was not translating to interviews. I lacked confidence during behavioral interviews and felt completely lost when asked coding questions. IK taught me how to clearly demonstrate my skills and experience during interviews which ultimately helped me find a Principal engineering position at Microsoft.

Safir Merchant

Machine Learning Software Engineer

Placed at:

I liked the course that IK provided a lot. IK provided all the knowledge on a variety of topics that helped me prepare for coding interviews. The mock interviews were really great. Landing a job at my desired company has been a great pleasure.
