Sounds like a guarantee I can’t refuse 👀

But who know’s might take one for the server and write a detailed review if I decide to do it.

Build Startups Like Entrepreneur!

There is No shortcuts. No growth hacks. Just building & shipping every day and talking to users is the KEY

This is intended to give entrepreneurs students a foundational understanding of leveraging a development framework to quickly build a MVP.

💡 Idea

Get an idea from problems in your own life. If you don't have problems that are original enough, become a more original person. Don't build products that are solutions in search of a problem.

🛠 Build

Build your idea with the tools you already know. Don't spend a year learning some language you'll never use. Don't outsource building to other people, that's a competitive disadvantage. Build only the core functionality. The rest comes later.

🚀 Launch

Launch early and multiple times. Launch to famous startups websites (like Product Hunt, Hacker News, The Next Web), mainstream websites (like Reddit) and mainstream press (like Forbes).

But more importantly, find where your specific audience hangs out on the internet (or in real life) and launch there. Launch in a friendly way, that means "here's something I made that might be useful for you", instead of acting like you're some big giant new startup coming to change the world.

🌱 Grow

Grow organically. A great product that people really need which is better than the rest will pull people in. You don't need ads for that. Don't hire people if there's no revenue yet. Don't hire many people if there's revenue either. Stay lean and fast. Do things yourself.

💰 Monetize

Monetize by asking users for money. Don't sell their data. Don't put ads everywhere. Don't dilute your product. Be honest that you need money to build the product they love and they'll be fine paying for it.

🤖 Automate

Automate by writing programs that do stuff that you do repeatedly. Only automate if it's worth the time saved. For stuff that's too hard to automate or not worth it, hire contractors. Let them work as autonomously as possible. Where possible let robots manage them (for example by giving them alerts when things happen in your product). This lets you take time off, or work on your next business.

🚪 Exit

Exit by not putting your company for sale, but letting buyers come to you. Filter out the majority of buyers that aren't serious. With the serious buyers left, negotiate a price by valuating your own company. Price it agressively high. Always keep the bargaining power on your side of the table. Get paid in cash, not stock and don't fall for the trap of earnout bonuses. Make sure you're prepared for the emotional fallout of selling (and missing) your business.

🤝 Ethics

Not a chapter but important: be ethical, and don't cut corners on ethics. You'll be rewarded by not doing dodgy stuff like spamming, manipulating your users into doing stuff, growth hacking your search rankings or faking your social media, or abusing your power to compete unfairly if you're successful. If you make a good product, you don't need any of this. If you make mistakes, own up to them and say sorry. Be nice as a person and especially as a company. Karma always pays back in the end. Just being ethical and nice is a competitive advantage these days because most companies (and people) are not!

📝 Homework

Homework: Each chapter ends with homework exercises that you can do. Instead of just reading, I'd like you to use this book as a handbook while actually building and shipping a product. It doesn't matter if it fails. But you need to do something instead of just read! This is not startup porn! This is startup life.

[lost pebble]

is this a crypto scam or gpt copypasta

[balmy patio]

Either way a waste of time

[true spindle]

I checked the link at it seems like it was for people with degrees already

[wild canyon]

What exactly are you referring to?

[true spindle]

This

[wild canyon]

Where does it say it requires a degree?

[true spindle]

It doesn’t say that

But on the page they were showing a resume review

[wild canyon]

Also i was just saying in general some tech and quant places dont require a degree

[true spindle]

And it was someone that had a BS and MS

[true spindle]

Yeah for sure

I saw someone on YouTube get a quant dev job with a business degree

[wild canyon]

What firm do they work for?

[true spindle]

No clue

It was this guy

[glacial robin]

Hello guys
i applied for a free full stack developer program and i received a email about a test on hackerranck.im looking for some useful information how i can prepare for the test and what to expected

[dense lake]

Did the email say what topics would be on there?

[glacial robin]

No it didn't said anything

[dense lake]

It's probably just fundamental coding + data structures + algorithms
I sent you a resource in general chat

[glacial robin]

Thank you

I will learn that all night

[glacial robin]

The resources is not free but thanks

I was able to found some books

[burnt kindle]

Full stack over night

[glacial robin]

no the data structure

[mystic shadow]

Any good certifications for discrete math

I might pick it up over break

[smoky musk]

Hello, I'm a 28 year old woman and I've recently decided to switch careers from architect to software engineer. I have bachelors and masters in architecture and have worked for 4 years. Currently to transition, I've enrolled in Meta front-end developers course on Coursera. I'm thinking of getting into the software engineer career first through front end and work my way up to be a full stack developer. Do you think it'll be possible for me to self study and get into the software engineer profession? If anybody has any tips or any free study materials/ websites or even if you don't recommend this route and going for a paid bootcamp, please let me know. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[dense lake]

It'll take a lot of discipline, but considering you managed to get a bachelors + masters in architect, you're most likely capable

To get a software engineering job, here are the steps you'll need to take, along with resources to help you tackle each step:

-learn fundamental programming concepts. A good resource for this is the free online course, CS50, from Harvard

-learn data structures and algorithms. There are so many good resources for learning this online. Neetcode pro is one I recommend

-practice coding problems on the website leetcode. These are the kinds of problems you'll need to be able to solve in job interviews for software eng positions. Leetcode and Neetcode are the best resources for this in my opinion

-build programming projects to put on your resume to actually get job interviews in the first place. I'd check out youtube channels like clement mihailescu and tech with tim for project recommendations and tips for how to build these projects. You can also check out this server's #1019675142248468601 channel to see what kind of projects others have made.

Good luck!

[dense lake]

I also highly recommend using chatgpt as sort of like an assistant in helping you learn coding and answering questions you have

[smoky musk]

thank you!!

[sweet silo]

Hey guys, I'm an undergraduate student who wants to learn coding and develop a strong hold on Data Structures and algorithms but I find Leetcode intimidating due to the sheer amount of questions instead could you all suggest a must do List of Leetcode Questions which covers a variety of patters & frequently asked questions during interviews (beginner friendly). Your help is very much appreciated! Thanks in advance 🙂

[smoky musk]

Need some advice. So.. I’m just gonna bite the bullet and go for a proper program. Would OMSCS or a bootcamp like General Assembly be more beneficial for a newbie with no coding knowledge like me? I’m not sure what to choose. Or should I do a bootcamp then a ton of leetcode + referrals. And OMSCS after whatever job I got? Thank you everyone in advance! Truly appreciate your input

[normal mulch]

If I remember correctly, you are coming from an architecture background (?)

Does OMSCS allow non-CS applicants for undergrad? If so, I'd still be concerned about performing well without a CS background as the degree dives into CS at a master's level, of course.

Also, what area of software engineering are you pursuing?

[smoky musk]

Thanks so much for answering! I’m aiming for full stack / backend. Yes I have archi background

[smoky musk]

I see. Maybe then I should go for bootcamp

[normal mulch]

If you are set for taking up some sort of proper program, then yes I believe a bootcamp is more advisable as bootcamps do not assume any prior knowledge as opposed to OMSCS.

It'd be a huge huge huge jump to take on.

[smoky musk]

Any good bootcamp recommendations??

[normal mulch]

I personally do not 😦 @smoky musk

[smoky musk]

No worries. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

[normal mulch]

ofcofc.

if you haven't already, it may be worth going to visiting r/OMSCS on reddit and browsing cases of non-CS undergrads taking the program, see how they faired.

I'm already reading a few instances of such cases.

[trim mesa]

go for osu postbacc

[main fossil]

hi everyone! i'm looking for some online bootcamps to learn coding from, if you guys have any recommendations about any bootcamps related to coding/engineering, and are conducted online, please do let me know! thanks in advance ^^

[smoky musk]

Haha same as me!!! I’ve decided to go to General Assembly! Will let you know how it goes if you’re interested!

[tawny fern]

Please view their 6 month job placement rate before paying. Fair warning to any bootcamp. The numbers do not lie

GA and others have posted no data for 2021 or 2022 courses.

[verbal blaze]

Because it’s shit im sure

[tawny fern]

Fair assumption unless they have an explanation.

[sly wedge]

@main fossil The best way to find the best bootcamp is go on LinkedIn. Searching for the bootcamp, and look at where are people working at after they graduate.

[smoky musk]

Imo, at the end of the day, it’s all on yourself. Bootcamps aren’t super different from one another. It’s all on your will, personality and etc for those going to bootcamps to get a job afterwards

[tawny fern]

As someone who went to bootcamp. And mentored other people who went. The quality between them is massively different. The best ones have an obviously high placement rate.

Camps that are on the higher end price wise can afford to pay better quality teachers. It's difficult to get to quality engineers to write their jobs for teaching.

Many good ones only allow in students who are decent in algorithms before starting. You will notice some only allow in above a certain IQ. The worst ones let in anyone (which is a huge mistake, but they already got their money once people fail).

Top bootcamps essentially mimic a working environment of a startup for the students so they can refer to a real project, and in addition to job skills teach DS/A for interview skills.

The worst bootcamps either rip off people who can't get jobs or rip off people who didn't need to pay to begin with

LinkedIn is not the best data sample as many people do not put a bootcamp on their profile. It's not advantageous to do so in most scenarios.

If you're going to pay 20k it is silly to not get an audit of placement and salary for students in the previous 6m/1y. They are extremely variable by company. Any reputable company will want you to see their stats on request as it is a selling point

[brittle furnace]

Can more or less cosign, friend works a boot camp. There are some catastrophically bad ones and some great ones.

[smoky musk]

I guess I shouldn’t sound generalized nor as if I’m talking about all bootcamps. After all, I only inquired 3 bootcamps: Flatiron, fullstack and general assembly. They gave me similar placement rates from same year. And I couldn’t tell a difference between their syllabus. Got passed their interview / pre course tests. They’re all around price $19k flatiron, $18k fullstack and $14k GA. Does anybody know the difference between these 3 since you all seem pretty familiar about bootcamps?

[tawny fern]

@smoky musk As I said the simplest difference is in placement stats. Post all 3 stats to the channel and I will review them

[tawny fern]

I think you will do fine wherever you go, but I think people should get their money's worth with the best deal.

[tawny fern]

I point out a couple data caveats when comparing apples to oranges.

• Some bootcamps seem to prefer to report people as 'non job-seeking' for specific reasons, rather than marking them as 'failed to graduate'.

• CIRR bootcamps cannot mark anyone as not 'seeking a job' without documentation. So they tend to specify reasons for 'failed to graduate'.

• Therefore, Some bootcamps are implied at a higher graduation rate, and a higher non-seeking rate, compared to a CIRR manipulation of these numbers.

• CIRR bootcamps must mark someone as student once they cannot get a 100% refund.

• Some bootcamps spend some time on numbers for 'enrolled' vs 'student'. This implies an increased graduation rate if they can mark someone as a non-student under different criteria.

• Flatiron doesn't provide any stat for '180 days' placement after graduation. The number they give is in footnote 20 and to me implies it is a 180-270 day placement:

Per management’s criteria, a Job Search Cycle is considered to have begun at the later of: job acceptance prior to having declared a Job Search Start Date, or direct communication with the Career Services team indicating a Job Search Start Date within the deadline specified in the Career Services Commitment acknowledged by the student at time of enrollment (60 or 90 days after graduation from the program).`

• CIRR tends to report for 6 month cohorts or periods, which gives more info on markets at that time.
• Some reports can be 1 year +

--
Takeaway: If I am looking at a non-CIRR report, I want to compare as many things apples-to-apples as I can.

So rather than using arbitrary non-seeker rules, I might look at the total students or enrolled placement rates for 180 days. Arbitrarily marking ~30% as non-seeking to exclude from placement rate makes the data harder to compare. In the same line, if there is no 180 days measurement, I can't make a good comparison to another bootcamp that provides this.

[smoky musk]

@tawny fern wow thanks for sharing!

[barren salmon]

What’s the most prestigious bootcamp

[smoky musk]

Don’t remember who here mentioned OMSCS is around $7500 lol. I got accepted into it and they said the program is around $50k.. just FYI

[warm pilot]

Wait wut, how? @smoky musk

Did you get into OMSCS or the in-person program?

[smoky musk]

OMSCS 🥲

Zac in that email was the one who was surprised on the phone call when I mentioned $7500. He’s like “we’ve never had a $7500 program, if you’ve heard of such a cheap program, you should let me know” 🤷🏻‍♀️

[warm pilot]

That's Stevens @smoky musk. When people mention OMSCS they talk about Georgia Tech's online program, which costs ~$7500

It's confusing because OMSCS just stands for "Online MS in CS"

[normal mulch]

did you still apply to georgia tech's?

[sweet silo]

Hey peeps, could someone tell me what's the difference between neetcode all/ neetcode 150 & Bling 75 ?

Do all of em overlap ?

Does preparing Leetcode patterns (Sean Prashad), Neetcode enough to prepare for any Top product based companies?

[desert tundra]

neetcode all 👉 mr.neetcode all solved problems in his youtube channel
neetcode 75 👉 top 75 probem DSA (Basically 75LC is organized by one of the FAANG enginner)
neetcode 150 👉 next level of NC75

[sweet silo]

Also this is totally out of context, I'm an Incoming MSCS graduate student at Indiana University Bloomington for MSCS, I'm planning to apply for Summer Internships this year for 2024...could someone give me insights on how has the job market been ?

btw, I'm graduating in May 2025, do you guys think the situation would be a lot better by then ? Being an International Student can I be hopeful?

any opinions/ insights would be very much appreciated!

[molten python]

There are many good bootcamps depending on what kind of skill sets you looking for.

[warm pilot]

It's set up so that it costs more the longer you spend on it. It does cost around $7500 if you don't take summers off and take 2 courses a couple of times. Even if you don't, it still costs under $10k in most cases

[novel sedge]

Are there any career boot camps for this summer or maybe for next fall? An example of what I am talking about is the recent Netflix boot camp that happen this past spring

The name of that bootcamp was Netflix Advanced Pathways bootcamp

[rugged linden]

does anyone know any career bootcamps for being a salesforce developer?

[sand bear]

i went to hack reactor if anyone is thinking about it feel free to reach out to me, got a job a month after and have been working in the field for about 2.5 years now

[novel sedge]

Same here lol

[dim totem]

Yeah same, its super difficult..the number of open seats are 63 versus like 2000 ish applicants..and also they mostly prefer American minor communities

[balmy patio]

Just curious do u guys find bootcamps to be a viable path to entry level swe positions in 2023 and beyond?

[tawny fern]

@balmy patio
You can see what I posted above regarding placement rates -

My opinion is that at this time, you need to be exceptionally skilled to go to a bootcamp and get a good job.
From my view,

• 2023, non-CG applicants should aim to be top 10%. Top 20% can still survive. Below this is a employer market.
• 2019-2022 years I felt from my sources it was more top 60%.

Keep in mind that the high job placement rate bootcamps are already a different sample - they already select for above average people to be allowed entrance (unsure what percentage, but since 2019 I have heard roughly top 10-30% are allowed entrance)

First, we should exclude elite students who can pay for elite colleges. They get a better ROI doing that.

Given there are affordable online college options that can complete in 2-4 years, average people should be open to consider the college route. With online college the network opportunities are less but still substantial (college pipeline hiring). The amount of interview opportunities of a college grad are higher due to the companies which requre CG.

If a person doesn't have the 2-4 years to complete college, then OK, let's look at a bootcamp. The person going needs to make sure they are top 10% material (imo). At that point there is no harm pulling the trigger on a bootcamp. They will save time and money.

The top end of CS careers is always gated by innate skill first and then learned skill. Those at the top can make any reasonable education choice and come out fine. But should do their research

[balmy patio]

Ohh thanks for the detailed response!

By what metric do u measure each candidate so that you know they’re the top 10%, etc?

[tawny fern]

That's just my estimate. You can look at current admissions rates, job placement rates, to get a better look.

It's not known, but you can reasonably assume good bootcamps have a <10% admissions. And tend to place around 80% of students in 180 days (when audited)

Then take the average college admissions - 68%. I don't have job placement data for that but we can assume it's probably decent for top students

[balmy patio]

Ohh I see!!

Thats super interesting

[gray tinsel]

Has this been posted? https://jobs.lever.co/spotify/2319b24a-a5bf-48e8-9296-782b568966ed

[torpid fjord]

Nope, but that's pretty cool

Most of us wouldn't qualify though

Who can apply?
Self taught, bootcamp and community college grads. We’re looking for aspiring engineers that have little to no technical job experience who are eager to learn as much as possible.

Oh wait I didn't realize I was in a bootcamp channel

[balmy patio]

@tawny fern i hope u don't mind i shared some of ur thoughts in another server cuz I thought they were informative. Lmk if u want to see the context/invite to the server

[balmy patio]

Shared in another server if ur in BC, Canada (basically take bootcamps for free if ur eligible): https://wearebctech.com/talent/skills-training/

Maybe worth looking into similar programs in other parts of NA

[tawny fern]

I mean Canada changes calculations a little bit. I don't know much about the job market there - except that a top college degree (for example Waterloo) with a U.S. work visa is a high ROI option for Canada.

[balmy patio]

In the US what do u consider to be the top bootcamps? (ie the ones ppl most want to get into)

I find in Canada the bar to entry for the common ones are pretty low?

[tawny fern]

For U.S. I advise viewing CIRR. Codesmith is the one I think is the best rated. I did not attend, but had friends who did, and they did well. I advised them that it was the best option on ratings. I attended some of their free sessions which went over dynamic programming and felt it was well presented.

[balmy patio]

Ohh tyvm!

CIRR is a really cool org, thanks for sharing

Doesn’t seem like there’s an equivalent in Canada

[smoky badger]

Hey, Have you applied for it or work with them?

[warm kraken]

anyone know a good bootcamp for data analyst/data science stuff

[hexed finch]

I just graduated a bootcamp last week. Uhh any idea tips from previous bootcamp grads on how to get that first role?

[noble scaffold]

Have you reached out to your advisors? Or is there a network of alumni? Which program? I’m currently enrolled in FlatIron which starts July 17

[noble scaffold]

Spring Board! I was deciding between them and FlatIron. springboard seems great for data analyst

[hexed finch]

I have reached out but I think the issue rn is that there are 250 unplaced ppl including me and since I just graduated my request may be a lower priority. Kinda sucks. But again it’s only been 2 weeks I guess. Started doing my own self learning and just applying

Coding Temple

[elder urchin]

I would search for alums of the bootcamp on LinkedIn and message them to connect/ask for connections/how they found jobs. I try to respond to every message I get from fellow bootcamp alums

[hexed finch]

@elder urchin thank you! I’ve been doing this and def got some better feedback 😁

[silver wasp]

hey guys! my friend is looking to get into computer science - does anybody know of any coding bootcamps that have good placements or in general are known to be really good?

[woven fulcrum]

I did App Academy in 2021 and it worked out well but that was during a hot job market, worth looking into since at the time they were one of the few legit ones

[minor pumice]

I went to hack reactor and loved my time there. Have very little to complain about. In regards to placement maybe 15% of my cohort have been hired and of that 15% half of them are things like support engineer, etc… This is around 8 months post graduation. I was lucky to get a job within 2 months post grad but i worked my ass off and got lucky.

I honestly don’t think I can recommend hack reactor though because they have done some very sketchy things lately like postponing a cohort by months just before the start date something that would have thrown my whole plan off if it happened to me.

If they are set on a bootcamp maybe look into app academy like the person above me said? I have a friend that went there in early 2022 and got a job at google after.

If they are looking at all routes maybe have them look into WGU. It is a go at your own pace university. They could get an accelerated bachelors degree in computer science. Definitely looked upon better than bootcamps.

[silver wasp]

thank you so much for the advice guys!! this is super helpful

[tawny fern]

15% at 180 days is a horrible percentage on it's own considering there's some that go near 80%. As someone who went to HR when rates were high I'm not sure what happened, but I know that things change every year. Whether that's teachers, job market, or curriculum. That's why current students should be looking at rates from the last year specifically. If the school doesn't post data, do not consider that school.

WGU is a great option for sure. Just take into account the cost and time required. As well as lack of career assistance of traditional college. I think I have a few friends I am going to recommend to do the WGU track

@silver wasp if you scroll up I posted a couple data points on bootcamp scores

I just checked the cirr data and there's some excellent scores from some bootcamps from jun-dec 2022.

[minor pumice]

Yeah, the market is just in a super tough spot for entry level swe. Honestly most bootcamps are pretty similar, you get out of it what you put in and I think HR is/was one of the best ones that’s why i chose it. But like I said they are doing some sketchy things now so not sure if it’s the best option anymore.

That’s why I recommended something like WGU where it will take a bit longer but u will come into a market that’s better and computer science degrees are looked upon better than bootcamps grads. There’s a huge amount of bootcamp grads in the market without jobs in 2023. Obviously my cohort could be a statistical anomaly but that’s not really what i’m hearing in general. There is other data like you mentioned and it’s best to take all of that into account but i just gave my cohorts numbers because these outcomes usually don’t come out for a long long while after graduation

[twilit moss]

Don't do hack reactor. Trust me.

[twilit moss]

Hack reactor turned into a scam ever since Galvanized took over.

Constant staff turnover.

I had an insider spill the details to me.

[split cave]

Backend development, fpga, verilog

[stiff portal]

Java, c++, python

any of those would be appreciatef

[rugged copper]

local university

[stoic spindle]

I've never heard of an fpga/verilog bootcamp, most people's exposure to them is university, as far as I know.

[marsh lichen]

Yes, they're actually goated

[loud elm]

@marsh lichen Can you elaborate? Did you attend this bootcamp?

[marsh lichen]

Nope, I know a few ppl that dropped school due to money issues, completed the program and all got six figure jobs

[loud elm]

@marsh lichen Dang that good to hear!, I'm in the final stages for the interview process and wanted to hear peoples experiences.

[lofty bronze]

Edx bro

[calm canopy]

hi! I am not sure if any of you have been in this situation but I am currently an undergrad that is having severe money problems. I think my best bet of making it through school is finding a FT/Contract job somehow. I have interned as a SWE at Google, AMD, and NASA, so my resume is pretty ok. Do any of you have advice as to where to find opportunities like this?

[tawny fern]

Did u take student loans?

You can find contracts or f/t, given that you'd want to set your hours, a contract is ideal for this

[calm canopy]

yes, i just basically maxed out my credit line since the govt loans are not big enough

[calm canopy]

ok facts! do you know any good resources for finding contracts?

[tawny fern]

Well u can take student loans for housing expenses

Dice is good for contracts. You kind of need to be your own salesperson though if u want to get good deals

You should probably register an LLC and put up a portfolio for yourself.

Then just apply to contracts on dice and reach out to recruiters... They can find you some

[calm canopy]

all my loans go towards tuition. i basically borrow the max amount i can and min wage is not enough

[calm canopy]

ooh good to know

[pine gyro]

All my contract work has just been from networking at events

I can lyk if something comes up that requires a team

[spiral flume]

hey !
can anyone tell me that grokking system design is a course or some tutorials

[winter ember]

both, but just find a free pdf online of the book (basically a bunch of problems and how to go thru em)

Helloo, has anyone done an AI/ML bootcamp here??

Need advice on which is good

[balmy patio]

Probably none

[tawny fern]

There is supposedly a decent one, let me check with my colleague how it is going.

[balmy patio]

Ohh what is if called?

[rigid helm]

None?? 😯

[tawny fern]

course is deepatlas ai. It is really just an intro, not enough for a job. That's my takeaway.

granted - I do believe that someone with good data science knowledge can transition to ai related jobs easier.

[urban flicker]

A website or NPO website where I can learn Quantitative Development for free from beginner to advance?

[rough jasper]

i am brand new and don’t know which boot camp or program to learn through. Whichever would be the closest to a school would be great. I’m not going to collage just getting certified.

[warm patrol]

Speaking from personal experience, I graduated from Flatiron school in october last year and I just got a gig doing volunteer work 3 months ago (still looking for FTE). The program was good going through javascript -> React for the frontend and python/flask for the back end. I did the self-paced option for going through the bootcamp but there is a more rigid school like program where you're in a zoom call with other people in the cohort doing lessons with a teacher rather than learning by yourself. During the bootcamp you get opportunities to network and do peer coding, and after the program you get to work with a career coach to help build your resume and help you with tech/behavioral interviews as well as growing your linkedin network and what you should be doing throught the application process. I'd say if you have the money and you prefer a more school like environment I'd recommend it, but you can 100% do all of it on your own for free

[trim sky]

Lowest ever bar because it's so easy (all you have to do is be a US citizen) but highest ever bar because if you're NOT a US citizen there's nothing you can do (not easy to become one)

[indigo mulch]

[hidden scroll]

Another one has just started.

[sleek fern]

@tawny fern what about hack reactor, got into that one as well

[tawny fern]

Ask them for their job placement rates last 1 year last 6 months before you do anything

Get it in writing

Their website has no data for 2023 or 2024

What we know is that reporting can be 90/180/360 days after graduation, and some of the best bootcamps have classes with about 5-30% 90 day placement

I think 180 days is a realistic goal but the 90 day rate is abysmal compared to 2018-2022 where it might be 70% at the best bootcamps

[eternal wigeon]

@sleek fern your best bet is Codesmith

[misty hornet]

whats the best Software Engineer bootcamp

[tawny fern]

Whichever one has the highest job placement rate in the last year

Most are unacceptable at this time, since new grads are saturating entry level

[eternal wigeon]

you already know this is codesmith

and no one is going to bother giving you job placement rates in writing

afaik only 2-3 bootcamps post audited results anymore

the rest are just going to be self-reported stats which...who cares

i mean there's still some value in it but self-reported obviously is going to be highly slanted and easy to misinterpret

[vivid notch]

does anyone have Joy of React by josh w Comeau please?🦋☺️

[fluid dome]

It's very interactive and online-based, so you can't really do it without an account. Like there are a few videos, but the best part about it is the interactivity. It is on sale right now 🙃 I think it's worth it

[marsh lichen]

[dry forum]

Oh nevermind. Pre-covid is a completely different story 😭

[gilded pelican]

Bro

the bootcamp era is over

been over

[cold dove]

lmao yep

if youre committed to a career change and cant go back to school, then it can help

but wont put u above college grads

[tawny fern]

I pretty much said it all I can. If you can do college, be ready to apply for jobs, and THEN use college to get internships. If you're not ready to work, you're not ready. You'll be burning cash unnecessarily.

This is essentially a path boot camps offered until there was a huge surplus of college grads.

After you have a few resume boosters, you're set to look for full time, and paid off a lot of the cost of college. I wouldn't even say you have to finish the degree, but at that point it's not much more effort, and gives you full time jobs access if you're not employed yet.

[barren salmon]

Have you done one of these 12 week bootcamps before? how was ur exp out of it in terms of projects and knowledge you think

[tawny fern]

I did. It was great for learning frontend web development and JavaScript, as well as helping understand what to study afterwards. The projects are learning tools. The knowledge is a strong base and a better understanding of what you need to study, though there's still some clarity there that a mentor could help with.

The strong point for bootcamps is it gets people ready to work and do actual day to day tasks, where colleges were (in the past) doing terribly at training people. I've heard colleges are fixing curriculums a bit, though there's still a lot of unnecessary courses and weaknesses either at web development or other niche fields in software. Some may opt to do a bootcamp before a bachelor's, if they want to jump into a specific software niche before applying it in a job.

In a strong job market, you could come out ready to work with about 6 months of studying. But now, I'd say you need to expect to invest way more time afterwards to either build a startup or a career.

That increased amount of study to get to entry level in today's week job market (2-3 years) makes a bachelor's degree a better investment. With a bachelor's degree, or master's if branding out your study, you can work at internships while studying. Most of a degree is irrelevant material, the career connections (intern/ng) are what you pay for. So even there, there's a min/max on career services quality, price, minimum time to degree.

There is no real credit for doing a bootcamp. What you learn is going to help you as long as it's relevant to what you decide to do. If you're really wanting to learn something that one of these offers, I'd recommend checking that the teacher is good, as access to their time is what you're paying for. General web development and ds/a content is usually available free online. Some bootcamps really do offer a optimal path to learning AI basics, web dev framework, Python, and that's fine. Teachers are worth paying for sometimes.

[balmy patio]

darn I need $47,001 in 72 hours, so close

[upbeat shoal]

I came off from a bootcamp, is there any way to get internships off of those or do you have to be from a college ?

[vague trellis]

college

[upbeat shoal]

😔 crap, thank you

[timber glacier]

Harder from boot camp

But not impossible

but really really hard, you better network

[worthy topaz]

^

network is basically your only hope ngl

[coarse patrol]

mostly u have to be from good college but depends on your resume or luck

i know many who have master degree in civil engineer and then they started to learn coding from bootcamp and now she is in google as a software engineer from last 3 year

[main ivy]

You can take college courses like maybe 1-2 for cs and then put on your resume ur taking college courses n apply to internships with that in resume

Honestly it would help if you have a really good project that you can talk about not just some copy of eBay etc. ( I’m talking about your bootcamp projects those won’t help you jack unless it’s something really useful or you are A+ bullshitter)

Bonus points for hackathon projects or if you have attended hackathons before and you can talk about that or bring it up in an interview

That only applies for internships and if you actually land an interview with the team tho

Ats is gonna whop yo ass tho unless you got a couple of years exp as a bootcamper with some decent names

Then again eBay copy for a bootcamp still impressive esp if you can implement a payment system and learn to work with plaid api or some form of irl payment transaction.

That last part alone can get you at least interviewed for a tech support job

No experience? Cover ALL your bases with projects and shotgun. Full stack of w/e framework b language just make sure it’s relevant to what you’re applying for, project that integrates ai, scripts + tools for automation etc.

Like just look at the scalpers market: make an automation tool that can purchase multiple orders within a few ms. Doesn’t even have to be purchasing for heavy hitter websites like nike. Could be for just pokemon cards from Walmart. Hard part: verification and captcha bypass.

You can just slap that as your project and just even sell it to the people for access and if you do get some pple buying you can even include as a bullet point - 10+ yearly paid subscribers to this project or somethin

[fair fjord]

how hard is it to get into swe with a degree in traditional engineeering? anyone else made or is trying to make the transition from traditional engineering (like mechanical or civil) to swe?

[vague trellis]

I know electrical is the best to transition to swe but I would assume mechanical might help cuz that means u have a mehcical brain XD

Are OpenCV courses worth the money so I can learn deep learning, machine learning, and computer vision?

[tardy crane]

not worth it.

[blazing needle]

Why?

[tardy crane]

even mastering opencv has no helping in finding a related job

[blazing needle]

Some people found jobs from OpenCV and Deepl Learning courses from testimonials. The testimonials don't appear to be false nor manufactured.

I attended one OpenCV webinar about AI. My dad shared it with me and I enjoyed it.

Right now, I am doing a Free Course related to PyTorch.

[worthy topaz]

just because some people found jobs from it doesn't mean its the majority

also you can prob learn most of it on your own with free resources from the web

[blazing needle]

I agree with this statement. OpenCV offers free courses in Tensorflow, OpenCV, Python, and PyTorch.

There's also free webinars too.

Hey everyone 👋
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been deep in the job hunt for early-stage startup roles. I was spending hours every day tweaking my resume, filling out the same job application forms over and over, and… getting ghosted. 😵‍💫
So instead of burning out, I built a tool to do it for me.
It’s called VentureAI — an AI job application assistant that:
It’s still in early access — but I’ve already submitted 50+ startup apps using it, and got a few interviews already. If you’re looking to break into startups (or just want to stop filling out the same form for the 20th time), it might save your sanity.

If you’re building on Vercel, sending emails usually ends up being more work than it should be.

You either wire up another service, manage secrets across environments, or add background jobs
just to handle something basic like OTPs or notifications.

That’s why we added native Vercel Functions support in Keplars.
You can now send transactional and scheduled emails straight from your Vercel backend using the same API routes
and serverless patterns you already use.

No extra infrastructure, no separate workers, no detours.

Deploy, add your API key, send your first email.
Email shouldn’t force you to rethink your architecture.

[deep echo]

[covert sable]

Wow

[gentle shoal]

thats what googles saying :/

[deep echo]

Transferable skills lol

Odin project is outdated for web dev but the ruby track transfers really well into quant

[strong latch]

What was your schedule like? Currently doing the Odin project Ruby on Rails track. Not a very popular stack but felt like learning it.

and how does it transfer to quant? I am not too far into the course

[deep echo]

@covert sable can answer this one

[covert sable]

😭

[strong latch]

Chill, just curious. Im not even interested in becoming a quant. Just never heard of ruby being used in quant

[covert sable]

It’s not. Mostly C++ and Python

[strong latch]

I assumed so

[lucid warren]

@deep echo how is odin project relevant to quant. i thought one had to be good at solving coding questions(like from codeforces) and math. I'm not sure tho

[upbeat nebula]

[graceful hedge]

[fresh tartan]

Quick question has anyone heard back from develop for good summer program? I have seen some person posted they got in but all of them are Manager role, I want to ask for the volunteer engineering role!

[oblique grail]

I got an interview for manager role and did it. However, haven't heard anything after that. Hopefully can get accepted, got nothing else this semester 😭

[twilit moss]

Out of curiosity how is job searching for current boot campers?

[icy shoal]

absolutely terrible

[twilit moss]

Which one did you attend?

[icy shoal]

i did not attend one. i'm speaking upon my friends experiences that i've met at local conferences et al that have done on many of the popular ones

[twilit moss]

Damn

That makes sense cause people with exp have hard time rn.

[icy shoal]

yeah. anecdotally. the ones with good prevs (that've done bootcamps) have had success, but you can't get those prevs nowadays like say back in 2022.

[deep echo]

Cooked but Odin project is still going strong 💪💪💪

Mix of hackathon on resume + specialization mobile project + showing that I took courses on resume

[worthy prairie]

going to ones that help with getting your resume reviewed; then projects + interview prep to back it up
