Should I join Revature or continue my journey on being self-taught?
With my background in engineering and sales, I have the opportunity to make a career transition into tech. I've been taking advantage of free online courses from FreeCodeCamp as well exploring side projects like creating an GUI snake game with AI bot. Revature has offered me additional training! While it looks attractive at first glance, would learning this stuff on my own be enough for me to get gainful employment? It would also mean relocating but earning only 45K annually; how can I manage such low compensation for a 18 month contract? Revatures proposed study topics for the next 10-12 weeks: Java Stack (JEE, SPRING, JSP, Servlet, JDBC, HIBERNATE, DOCKERS, KUBERNETES, KAFKA) Microservices, Spring Boot, Pivotal, Cloud Foundry Database (ORACLE, SQL Server, PL/SQL) Agile Tool (Pivotal Tracker, JIRA) .Net Stack (C#, Entity Framework, Web Forms, MVC, ASP .Net, ADO) DevOps (UNIX/LINUX, JENKINS, MAVEN, SONAR QUBE, JUNIT, NEXUS, TEST NG, CUCUMBER) AWS (DynamoDB, RDS, EC2, S3), Azure Java Script (AJAX, JQUERY, ANGULAR JS) Servers (TOMCAT, Weblogic) Web (HTML, CSS, bootstrap, XML) Web Services (REST, SOAP) IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ) SDET (Web Driver/Selenium, HP ALM) Python Oracle Fusion Middleware Mobility (iOS, Android) Appian GitHub, GitLab CHEF, PUPPET, Ansible, Salt Salesforce, Dynamics Big Data (Hadoop, SPARK, HIVE, OZIE, PIG) TC: 60k (Possible jump to 80k after busting my ass in sales for 3 years) #software #engineering #revature #self-taught-programmer
Send me a DM
Continue grinding and avoid rev, have heard nothing but terrible things and as a non-tech engineer I continually prepped until I found a semi-related job to get my foot in the door.
Revature = No
That's a lot to cover in that time. I would advise against it.
I would say avoid revature unless you are desperate. I have heard so many bad things about them. You can be relocated to the middle of nowhere with shitty work, and supposedly, if you try to leave before 18 months are finished, you can be stuck paying for "the training" which apparently is alot I would say just keep being self taught, maybe do a bootcamp if possible and then apply for anything and everything you can. All you need is your foot in the door
Don't join Revature. Learn yourself for 3 to 4 months and start applying for jobs
10 weeks to cover all of that??
He should pick one of them I guess
I would say keep looking. Heard quite alot of horror stories about this company.
What Should I learn before I am job ready ?
