Haven’t heard from ib specifically but have heard folks in other areas like consulting who’ve gone to do work with the likes of General Assembly and their experience was positive. Most go on to create their own startups / join new startups

Typically people get decent jobs in software development, etc.. usually all in between $90-125... Several create their startups with others they met in the boot camp.. most fail as you'd expect, but couple years in a startup allows them to recruit for manager level positions in software/tech for $200-250+ jobs only 2-4 years in startups

There’s a guy that went from ib to pe to software dev on wso and he was a vp in pe from what I recall

Know someone who quit and did a bootcamp and now is an engineer. The camp is intensive but based on the people I know who have done it, can’t be too hard. Just need to have a passion for coding

What’s the career trajectory on that?

Software engineer, product management at a tech company, basically anything with a coding background requirement

Hi All,
I've received an offer from LnT (29 LPA), is that good enough to resign now , considering my CCTC is 25.8.

Also, I'm almost 90 pc sure that i may be released within a week of resignation as my project contract has not been renewed and we're in handover phase.

Could you guys please advise me, as to what should be my course of action here? Should I resign and can I get better opportunities in the next 1 month?
