Sales Trainer

Who are we, you ask?

Interviews can be hard. And when it comes to the top tech companies like Google, Facebook, Netflix, etc., they can be downright brutal. Most candidates don’t make it simply because they don’t prepare well enough. IK helps candidates nail the toughest tech interviews. At IK, current and former hiring managers at these top companies take candidates through an intense prep course to make them completely ready to crack the toughest interviews. You could think of us as “the everything store” for career transitions and interview skill development.

How do we do that, you ask?

- We have a structured way of helping folks crack interviews-

- Career accelerator course

- End-to-end courses + platform

- More than 100+ instructors from Google, FB, Amazon, Netflix, Dropbox, and other top Silicon Valley companies.

- And guess what, to date, we have trained 10000+ engineers!

- What’s more exciting is- we are completely remote, and we are hiring the best people we can find regardless of geo.

Is the company doing well?

If by well you mean growing rapidly and profitably, then hell, yes! We have grown 7 times in the last 3 years, and have revenues which are higher than ed-tech companies which have 10 times more employees.
