What We Do
Interview Kickstart is the leading global platform for Technical Interview Preparation.
Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, our mission is to work with Software Engineers to help them transition into their dream jobs at top-tier companies. Students from our program routinely get offers from Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Apple, LinkedIn, Uber, and other top organizations after completing our program.
The following set of core beliefs drives Interview Kickstart:
Successful interview prep cannot be a spit and polish job. The only way to become part of a strong technical team is to elevate your craft to that level, i.e., technical interviews cannot be ‘hacked’. To nail them, one must invest time in becoming a better engineer.
It only makes sense to learn from engineers who have made the cut, i.e., one needs to prepare by learning from engineers who are currently already working and hiring at Google, Facebook, Amazon, and other top companies.
One needs a methodology that caters to a superior technical curriculum, retention, and sustained motivation, i.e., structured interview preparation is the only way to career up-leveling.
Interview Kickstart’s team of pedigreed instructors comprises hiring managers and tech leads from FAANG and other top Silicon Valley companies. The areas we focus on include Algorithms, Data Structures, System Designs, and Career Skills.
Our proprietary methodology covers live classes, mock interviews, timed tests, individual coaching sessions, resume reviews, career strategy, referrals, and much more.
