Lol...well I will say for more junior roles badges matter, so they do have some value! Keep it up!

You know man, one of the things i love about this industry is that people don't care where you came from they care if your good at your job. Honestly you probably will have more "no's" then normal. But an awesome Architect is worth alot... So yeah i think you could be a successful kick-butt architect. I came from a totally non-technical background, and it worked for me. Salesforce has a cool community, get your skills up, get involved with the community, and see what doors open bro... Love that your past isn't holding you back!

Glad you found it helpful man!

Hmm if you mean leetcode or algoexpert or hackerrank etc. those kind of companies would definitely give you a edge up. The honest truth is you have to be able to code some thing, and explain your thought process. And the part that you’re referring to usually comes later in the interview process, that’s the technical interview. but before you could ever get to a technical interview, you have to be invited to the phone screening interview. These tips are more pointed at how to get an invite to the initial interview, not so much how to pass a technical interview.

Yo yo what’s up my man! Lol you found me! Looking at coding boot camps? Or getting into tech?

@@Josh-Cruz I’ve been on the sales side of tech for years but I’m looking to get into coding.

@@isaacmondesir1814 let’s grab some coffee man would love to help you on your journey

@@Josh-Cruz dude, that would be so helpful. I’ll buy. I’m pretty available this week.

can i talk to u

Yeah great question, its SUPER important you ask that to coding bootcamps and their "Job Guarantee" because some bootcamps will make you pay for them through their "Job Guarantee" even if you work at walmart doing NOTHING in tech. Great question, thats super important to understand.

@@Josh-Cruz So the way you going around the question pretty much your boot camp any job that you get you’d have to start paying back Even outside of tech

Hey Manas, Great question. If I understand correctly, I think they make you get certified during the "training" process. Once your certified they then find you a place to build experience/work. As far as the 2 year timeframe is concerned you are in a contraxct to work fr them for 2 years. when your 2 year timeframe is up, your contract is up and you can continue to work for revolent group or your free to apply for other jobs. So they train you and give you experience in exchanged for 2 years of your career. I think its a good way of getting into the ecosystem if you dont have a network or connections.

Thanks so much! I was 30 years old

Yeah no worries! Linkedin helped Me Land my 1st 6 figure job, it'll help you too!

That's awesome, are people landing jobs when they graduate?

@@Josh-Cruz They do indeed. Some will carry on and stay with the Client they get placed with. Others may go and work for a different Company. There's a lot of opportunity to be had.

Congrats man! They treating you well?

Thanks a lot, I’m transitioning from finance and accounting into the fintech space so I have an Opious amount to learn. It’s great that they pay you while getting your certifications but the salary does reflect that. Everyone from revolent has been extremely kind throughout the process though absolutely.

My biggest question I would want to ask Kaelan is what transition do most students make after their 2 year contract with Revolent? I personally want to go straight to Microsoft after since they will be my client but I wonder what most other students do.

@@gabevelez694 from what I understand students usually do stay with who there placed with, but sometimes it doesn't work out. But landing a job with 2 years of experience is wayyy easier then with none. Best of luck man!

@@Josh-Cruz Thank you for the great KZbin content and helpful responses!

What do you mean?

Lol you talking about the indentured worker comment? Lol...

all online! and i never went to revolent group, so im not sure , but it looks like a bunch of people are getting certified and are working for what i know!

As part of training, you’ll gain certifications and then be deployed with their industry-leading clients. In Australia, training is online but commercial placement is typically a hybrid of on-site and remote working depending on the client- it would be worth reaching out to a recruiter or enquiring online in your region for region-specific details!

I'm with you man.... i took a loan, and viewed it as an investment in myself. I was so broke i went to coding bootcamp i had to go on foodstamps to make it. check out my story on my channel to see how i handled it.

@@Josh-Cruz you are a man man because u understand that life is based on risk. This is one thing that'll get you far comparing to must ppl. Instead of blaming your lack of resources u went ahead and risk it.

​ @STAN.P channel Thanks for your kind words man! wish you the best!

Go to Odin project.

Pumped you like it man!

Were you hired or in the process still? thx

Yeah, I would say yes. Soem companies give you a shot, but see my newer Video on revolent to learn more

Glad it was helpful! i liked that one too, especially if you're looking for a coding bootcamp. best of luck bro!

Glad it was helpful!

so cool man! glad to hear things are looking up for you!

Hahah yeah I should have labeled that scene : sneak peek or something but that scene comes later in the video... Just trying to make a hook that will keep people watching

great tip! will keep that in mind in the future!

yeah let me see what i can do! glad you got value

@@Josh-Cruz Wow, 1 month to say let me see what i can do. 9 months later no answer, dropped the ball and still kick8ng it around😐

@@richvanek1363He’s ignoring you.

Well, I went to coding Dojo it was pretty good but another friend recently asked me the same question about his friend here's what I sent him : Hmmm my current recommendations go to general assembly, appacademy, and hack reactor. In that order... I teach at a coding bootcamp called bethel tech it's a faith based school... So if you your Christian it could be a cool option and they accept student loans and all grants if you qualify" Does that help? bless you on your journey!

Coding Dojo has a great part time MERN program for around 8k. The rest are way more expensive. This program has a month of web fundamentals (HTML, css js), two months of MERN (full-stack JavaScript: Mongo DB, Express, React, Node), and a month of Projects and Algorithms. During P&A you spend 2 weeks building a solo project and 2 doing a group project. The course load is algorithms for this last one. You have lifetime access to career services (no joke - very important), 7 day a-week TA access, ability to schedule 1:1 code reviews with your Instructor and a lot more. Was a great experience!

Thanks so much man! appreciate it, love what your doing as wel!

SOrry for the late response, but I just released a video going in to detail about revolent group check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGeTiYV-nKiZpLM I hope that helps... what did you decide?

Hi Hemantha , I would like to know if you joined Revolent or not as I’m also almost there ...

@@archanarao4763 What did you decide? I'm contemplating this

@@Hello_hi5348 the recruitment method just sucks!! I had initially made it very clear that I would be able to join in Jan , they wanted me to proceed ahead with preparing the presentation ( part of interview) .At the end they turned me down by saying they want only those who r able to join in Dec itself 😤hours of prep work in drain and not even a single apology !! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@archanarao4763 Oh I see thanks for replying. It sounds too good to be true I hence checked. Good luck in your venture. Hope you get a good job.

Glad you got some value! Appreciate the kind words!

It's all about grit bro! Don't give up while you continue to grow your skills and You'll get there!

Deal!

good point

Thank you! glad you got some value man!
