Did you get OA just after finishing application

[languid bluff]

I just applied revature, do I need to apply all locations?

[true thorn]

I applied in my state (Virginia) and I got an email like 10 minutes after applying

[keen remnant]

Revarture isn't that the contracting company where you have to stay with them for a year or something like that

[left basin]

Sketchy ass conpany

The recruiter emailed me with a fake name on some Indian tech support scam technique

[true thorn]

it’s not a scam it’s just trash

but I’m garbage dev so I barely deserve it

[halcyon spear]

lol i got the phone screen from Revature and the recruiter told me they pay 45k the first year

i live in NYC metro

recruiter spelled benefits wrong too

[true thorn]

When?

I’d love 45k but all the ppl saying that are from 2 years ago

[left basin]

I got the phone screen like a week after a recruiter hmu

[true thorn]

Sorry, I meant when did he get the offer for 14 dollars paid training, they don’t seem to be doing that anymore

[halcyon spear]

Like 1 month ago

[halcyon spear]

It is, also i’m NYC metro so other regions will be lower

[true thorn]

Thanks, that’s good to hear. Most stuff from this year has been saying ppl have been waitlisted

[halcyon spear]

u shouldn’t be aiming for companies like this, ur worth more than 45k/year especially if u have a CS degree

[left basin]

^

revature is plan z

[true thorn]

don’t want to be dramatic but I’m really not

This stretch of unemployment has really woken me up

I’m like bottom of the barrel cs grad, I would be lucky to land a spot here and tbh I doubt I will

[halcyon spear]

Ur a cs grad tho, there’s so many ppl who drop out and switch to business or IT

revature isn’t for u

i was also unemployed for over 7 months

[true thorn]

lol I pay attention to this server, u have lots of experience and ex faang

Sorry I’m not trying to doom anymore but seriously

[halcyon spear]

No i don’t lol i literally had 1 yoe, there’s nothing different from a faang and non faang engineer besides 3-6 months of leetcode prep

[true thorn]

you're probably right, I realize we're all in this shit cuz of the market so its not entirely our faults. way too easy to doom

But I still think revature is an ok option to start now

Worst case scenario I dont get placed/freed from contract, best case scenario I get 2 years of solid experience in a relevant stack

[halcyon spear]

yeah hopefully u get it, but u should dip the second the market gets better

those type of companies r for like boot camp grads or IT majors

[wide forge]

but something is better than nothing right ?

[keen remnant]

they have like a 9 months year contact that you need to abide to, or else you get fine 20k - 30k
