IK Exclusive: Alumni Meet With Omkar Deshpande

This special Bay Area alumni meetup brings the community together for a high-signal session led directly by Omkar, focused on one of the biggest shifts happening in tech interviews today:

DSA isn’t being tested to check coding ability — it’s being used to evaluate how a senior engineer thinks.

If you’ve missed Omkar’s live energy, depth and precision — this is the session you don’t want to skip.
What to expect?

This is not a passive talk — it’s a deeply interactive learning experience tailored for IK alumni.

How interview expectations have changed, and what top companies actually evaluate today.

Omkar’s signature breakdown of how strong engineers communicate and optimize under pressure during the interview.

A real problem solved the way a senior engineer would — with:

• assumption and ambiguity control
• structured decomposition
• progressive optimization
• trade-off reasoning
• final-reflection and edge-case analysis

(Not just what to solve — but how top performers think through it.)

Career growth, switching roles, market expectations, interview plateaus — ask anything.

Reconnecting with familiar faces + meeting new members from the IK network over a lunch.

Whether you graduated recently or years ago —
this session will remind you why learning from Omkar changes everything.

Come learn.
Come reconnect.
Come be part of the community again.

This is a high-demand alumni meetup with limited seating.
