Okay! Scalar helps but it's cost doesn't make it worth for everyone.

My many classmates who already have taken course, noone recommend it to anyone. And placement wise there was no difference among those who taken and who didn't.

But I can say it can help if you are from low tier college and you have noone to guide.

There are lots of free resources that are available online.
You need to invest the right time and simply make a list of good resources and begin to work on them seriously.
Note : I believe that if you really want to crack FAANG its only you and your coherence. No one can provide job you without those two things.
Don't invest your money unless you have a guarantee.

I already have an offer from Amazon and other great technology firms.
It's all about dedication and consistency.

Ask yourself , how much effort are you willing to put . For Faang prep , no institution can provide you anything which is not available in Internet already . So are you willing to put effort, collect resources and make your own study plan? Or put a hefty fee and get spoon feed , choice is yours.

I am from scaler and i think i can answer this. Scaler is best when you want to join faang. Reasons being very good resources and content to learn and practice from. It has a vast network of people working at FAANG companies. You will easily get referral for any company. I myself going to join Amazon soon.

Its too expenaive and only a skill developement , I will go for BITS MTECH for that same price and brag about doing master for rest of my life. And also its WES approved and hence can move to canada.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
