Not me but my friend got hired at a startup through a bootcamp, no prior tech background.

My close friend made a huge career pivot and landed a software engineering job making ~100k after a boot camp.

He is a smart dude, had his masters in a field completely unrelated to tech.

Many, many of my coworkers came from a boot camp

Yes, I was hired before I even graduated. But this was 6 years ago, the bootcamp hiring market might be diluted by now.

I also had a friend who did a Boot Camp and got hired as a consultant. Spoke with him recently because I’m thinking of changing careers and he said on top of the skills, the critical thing was networking where he could get his resume passed the front door.

After multiple rounds of interviews, had anyone ever been offered a job that was a full level lower than the position you were interviewed for? What did you do?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Agency recruitment managers! How do y’all set goals for your department? Do you focus on outreach goals, applicant goals, purely hiring goals no matter the outreach numbers, conversion rates, etc? Asking because I manage two recruiters working with different clients and both work with different styles, so outreach messages for one might not make sense for the other. Any insight would be so helpful!

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house?
