Review on Keerti Purswani's courses

Hi there,

if anyone here has been a student if Keerti Purswani's HLD or LLD courses, could you please give an honest feedback of the course, whether it's good to crack system design interviews of good product based companies.

PS: About me, a college grad who has a job offer froma decent PBC and is looking to future proof his career by learning system design

And please, no bias towards content creators 🙏

There are way better courses out there! If you want to learn System Design, you can go for Arpit Bhayani’s course. It’s expensive but totally worth it! So much to learn for entry-mid level Software Engineers. The passion with which he teaches is enough for any Engineer to fall in love with System design.

Have heard it's not upto the mark, particularly for interviews. I read a post which said that it's over hyped due to its "Asli Engineering" marketing

I have seen the videos of Asli Engineering. Few cents -
Pros

  1. Makes you think. So the end user is not a passive consumer. Even if you are watching recorded videos. In short thought provoking.

Cons

  1. Exorbitant pricing for the content. Because at the end, he too is just making boxes. There is gap when he briefly explains his code around load balancing algos etc. Doesn't get into the depth and moreover all these code exist as open source from many other people on git.

Final - I think even after his course one would need to refer to several other sources on topics he merely touches upon. Same case if you go with conventional system design books. A lot of surface level nuggets that are discussed are merely because of the creators exposure to cloud which generally comes when you are in a start up. Or can do a course around certification. Also have seen his free videos, I personally feel that lack depth comp. So perhaps go with the grokking basic and advanced books and terms you don't understand in it, can read from internet.

I haven’t taken Arpit Bhayani’s course but really like the passion with which he explains every concept. Also his courses seems to give you a real taste rather than preparing you up for any interviews as they are just superficial.

I think you don’t need to pay for any course to get ramped up in lLD and HLD. Just see free youtube videos and will be up to mark.

For LLD, will definitely recommend Concept&&coding from Shreyansh Jain. Earlier it was free but little money invested and you will learn all there is to LLD.

HLD can read Grokking books, can look at channels from Gaurav Sen. I think he is the real originator for all this stuff atleast in India.

I understand that everyone should strive to be a good engineer, but cracking interviews is my priority :)

And thank you for the review !
