Can init container be a kubernetes job

Is it possible to have a kubernetes job as init container for my kubernetes pod?

I want to start my kubernetes pod/ deployment only after the kubernetes job has successfully reached completed state. If above is not possible, is there any other way out? I can not use an external script to check kubectl wait --for=condition=complete etc and then start my pod.

Yes, you can safely use the same pod spec in Init container, as you used before in Job object. If you need to implement more sophisticated workflows please take a look at Argo Workflow framework - for doing things done on Kubernetes. Here is an example of Conditionals usage.
