Hi, I am just about to get into the tech industry, (I used to be a gardener) and would like to see some kind of roadmap to the most secure job in AI, if you want to do a video of that? :) Thanks!
I did a bootcamp in 2022. Loved it, learned so much, but as of right now only 3 people in my cohort of 35 people have gotten jobs as programmers - one who already had 10 years of experience, one who had a personal connection to a company, and one who did another year-long training program through Dev10. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do a bootcamp, just that the stats are way against you in terms of getting a junior role. As for “once you get your first job it’s easy to get other jobs later” - um, no. Tell that to the 300,000 laid off experienced devs who can’t find jobs anywhere.
This, in 2021 the boot camp I attended boasted a 98% placement rate by 6 months. I attended in spring to summer of 2022 and only 25% of our class landed jobs in 6 months. I was lucky and landed a role at 3 months out. Some never got jobs to this day. In 2023 less than 5% of each cohort got jobs within a year from the small data set of folks I met through networking. They still falsely advertise 93% but only show data ending in the second half of 2021.
I'm sorry but no, no, no, NO! This video is absolutely misleading and like 4 years too late. Barely anyone gets hired without experience anymore, not even CS graduates! For every junior opening there are like 2000 applicants, and I'm not even talking about FAANG or anything special. Even people with years of experience are having trouble finding jobs and having to take paycuts and worse working conditions.
Apparently what you say isn't totally true. Lots of technology based roles have place folks without degrees or " experience" . Especially thru * gasp* boot camps.
@@gehdochnicht as a back end dev with 4.5 years experience in a high demand and high paying langauge at an excellent company it is harder for me to get a job now than it was for me as a fresh bootcamp grad with 0 cs degree not knowing that language
One in 2000huh? Wow did not know that me personally knowing two people that have landed jobs within a year after graduating back in August was so rare. You are full of crap. Yes it's harder for everyone, but you are wrong about being bad advice
@@theghastlygamer5326 Well congratulations to your 2 people for being some sort of unicorns that defy the odds of not me but also all the HR people I've talked to and anyone who knows anything about the state of the industry at the moment... Or maybe they got in through a referral/a favor? In any case, the whole point of a bootcamp is to get as quickly as possible into a good job market. Why would anyone want to get as quickly as possible into the worst IT job market in recent memory? Ah yes, it doesn't make any sense, right? Would also be nice if you bothered to think half a second before you start babbling non-sense and insults.
Hi Tiff, I would be nice if you can tell us about your experience during those years. For example what is your current role at the company you are working on? which technologies are you daily using. Some recommendations or something that you consider important to know in order to keep growing up in this industry. Thanks, have an amazing day 😀😀
In boot camp still with Flat Iron School Flex for Software Engineering full stack. I love creating and building. I've been searching for months while in boot camp. Just graduated with my master's in psychology.
Best coder job right now ? I honestly going with the no 1: 1. ML and AI 2. Data scientist and data engineer 3. Web dev 4. Full stack 5. Design engineer ( FPGA , C++ , Matlab) 6. RPA and automation _______________________ Secondary income 1. App dev 2.Stock market 3. Freelance 4 Editing, blog, online marketing , online business.
@@albertocurielsevilla6707I mean, you can. It can help in your resume. Will it be easy and get you paid? Most bootcamp graduates are not building full blown applications ready for deployment on their own, but you might.
My recently acquired company now provides support by Service Now. It's somewhat helpful but could be greatly improved if Snow hired English-speaking personnel. Most tickets require 2-3 times as long to resolve compared to when we had our own internal support due, in part, to language barriers. Users loathe having to submit ticket.
Hi Tiff, thank you for your other informative video as usual! I am 34 and have been also switching to tech, your videos have inspired me! what do you think about serverless development? is it possible to make a solid career as a freelance developing web apps using serverless resources like AWS lambda, Amplify, DynamoDB, S3, and other handy tools in the AWS environment using serverless architecture only? I am highly interested in that and have already developed a couple of projects and like it, I am just deciding if this may be worth trying to bring it to the next level. I would love to know your thoughts.
You probably can. When I interviewed for an AWS SDE internship, they pretty much made serverless sound like kid’s play. Apparently the money is in enterprise level architecture deployment. But you could reach out to local businesses and develop something for them.
@@davidcerino1145 Thank yo David, I opened a Fiverr account in which I offer web apps powered by AI and I use AWS serverless architecture and I can tell you that that idea is already putting meals in the table, is slow laggy AF but works! and it is easy to come up with web apps quickly. Appreciate the advice bud!
You'll be competing with CS grads, and the hundreds of thousands of tech people who were laid off this year and last. We can sugar coat it and say that companies are hiring, but if you're not exceptional you will not get a job.
🤩🤩 happy Friday!! I think some boot camps are still worth it depends on who takes it if you are starting out and taking C or Java script then definitely but if you are not I wouldn’t say to do it
It's just a logical conclusion. Coding is applied math and problem-solving and Software development is one of the most complex tasks humans are doing. Even the state-of-the-art LLMs have still major issues with creating code, while on the other side given LLMs are already great creating BS and fairy tale content, which is convincing enough for most high-level executives. So I think it's fair to say, if LLMs can replace coders fully, then almost all office jobs are gone.
