Hi everyone, I just recently finished a bootcamp style course that was 4 months with an actual instructor in real time. The teacher was god awful and did not care about us at all so at least 30% of the course was self teaching and him chaotically shuffling through Google to answer his own questions or see why something wasn’t running. Because of the way the course was set up I’m reteaching myself everything through subsequent online resources. The company had a contract with cognizant to train us and I interviewed with them last Friday. But I’m aware of what that company’s reputation is and they could potentially ask me to relocate with little reimbursement. I see that there’s a ton of open near me (NY area) and remote jobs on LinkedIn but I’m a little scared of these current layoffs and that there’s a ton of experienced competition now entering the job market. Do you have any advice on good resources and tips on how I should approach things going forward? Also what we learned in the course that I’m now reviewing: Java Basics Java Collections Basic SQL Basic JDBC Rest Assured API testing Locating web elements Using Selenium TestNG JUnit Maven BDD - Cucumber Using GitHub (Push, Pull, Merging) Scrum (did a few sprints) Test planning Test case creation Bug Report creation SDLC STLC Deserialization and serialization JSON CI/CD with Jenkins
“Fresher” is a weird term.
Lol it’s the term I hear
Just LeetCode the fuck out. I've been writing code since for a decade but LeetCode freaks make way more than me (stepping up my lc game and can hopefully double my TC soon). Learn LeetCode and System design, not CS and building apps.
Ok I’m not familiar with this. I will do some research. This is beneficial for Software QA? Sorry if this is a basic question btw..
Thank you to everyone responding.
Develop a “second brain” for your work. Look up “Tiago Forte”
Why this dude look like a bootleg Elon Musk? 💀
LOL
