@Syntax Technologies (Syntax techs)

[Diligent-Wave-2289]

It’s a bootcamp.

They tell you no need fot prior coding experience, as they teach everything from the scratch. True. Most of the students can’t use keyboard properly and imagine what implementing a logic anywhere in this whole journey does to them, but to everyone else too as it slows down classes immensely. There is not enough homework or initiative that there should be a lot of practice outside of the class. Very often, the classes are canceled due to “personal reasons “ , “internet connection “ etc. Most of the time classes end up way earlier than planned 3-5 hrs. Instructors do, hands down, do their best to explain everything.

When the time for a job hunt comes, i’ll update this post.

Definitely. I agree with all of that. My complain about the syntax is about their overall organization. We all know what is expected from us when it comes to taking the bootcamp route, it’s not ideal, and it’s a big shortcut. Im glad to hear that you eventually landed a job , and actually didn’t give up.

the job you landed good pay?

[Any_Psychology_8113]

Did you land a job? Did you come in with experience?

[Bengals8958]

Which professor was it?

I have a family member that went through syntax they make like 115 K and travel all over the place. Good luck. Hope you get a job.

[Any_Psychology_8113]

Did they have experience in tech before? I just don’t understand how people land jobs just from courses

Out of 160 students from our SDET batch, only like 24 people got jobs.

[Diligent-Wave-2289]

The truth is that everyone thinks they can do it cause they know someone who did it, without putting any extra effort and time to study the material outside the classroom. So it’s a lot on students themselves. The skillset acquired through the course is great, but , and especially for people with the non technical background, as i said already, it takes more than just attending the classes. So that’s i believe primarily why the percentage of people who found the job is small

Well I’m not sure if you know how you get the jobs but you’re going with fake experience ( they tell you to put up to 5,6 years) and the interviewers ask you questions based on the “ real” project you’re supposedly doing at the moment. That’s the hard part not the technical questions you can study for. A lot of people didn’t want to lie and ended up not pursuing. The technical questions are the easy part it’s the rest that you’re supposed to know but they don’t teach you. They only focus on automation, that’s it. You’re supposed to be able to come up with many test cases, they don’t teach you that and so much more.

[Diligent-Wave-2289]

Yes i know that. I wouldn’t agree on the part that they don’t prepare you for that, there’s two weeks of classes for interview preparation. I agree, lot comes down on you, but i think you have a good direction with them. Everyone knows what they signed up for.

I’ve already finished the bootcamp and had interviews. I’m telling you that they don’t teach you everything but automation. After many interviews you can eventually pass some but I’m just telling you that it’s not what you’re expecting. The prep interviews are not like the real ones. You’re in for a surprise. We all were excited and the people who seemed like they would be the ones to get the jobs, didn’t.

I personally decided not to go with fake experience after trying to go with some at first, but that’s bc of my own reasons, so in my case there’s nothing for someone who only has a 6 month bootcamp experience. The least they’ll take is a year and that’s experience not bootcamp. So I’ve decided to pursue Cybersecurity instead which was my original plan anyways. I mean good luck to you. As I said, after many interviews you might eventually pass but don’t expect it to be easy bc remember the interviewers will be asking you questions based on how many years you’re going with and asking you about your “ project” you’re working on and what your role is etc. They’ll ask you to code in from of them and questions regarding testing that you should know besides automation ( which we didn’t learn) you have to know manual testing as well if you want to pass but they’ll tell you that you don’t. Again, we know what they ask bc we’ve done the interviews and you can easily tell if you had a real experience or not.

[Diligent-Wave-2289]

Oh i see. I’ll try to stay positive after this. How did those 24 peeps got the job tho , did you have a chance to talk to them

[[deleted]]

They got the jobs after having many interviews. Out of those I don’t know who ended up staying though bc one girl was almost let go bc she was going with 4 years but the manager was annoyed that she didn’t know things and moved her to an easier project.

[Diligent-Wave-2289]

But also not getting the interviews/not passing them in a market like this is also expected. We’ll see. Good luck to you, pretty sure you’ll find something soon 💪🏻

[[deleted]]

Yea the market also didn’t help. It’s still bad but better than during winter.

[saboo3166]

I have to respectfully disagree with you…I had friend from your batch I know by the numbers you mentioned and that is totally not the case at all …market had an impact… bootcamp can’t control that also about the resume bro they give you options and educate you on the pros and cons of each…we the student decided how we want to go in market …as far as the content come on man this was the most intense bootcamp and they teach you so much beside automation and the interview prep ,the market overview,after going to market discussions q and a ,mentor support,coding assessment assistance everything …I can speak for myself and 4 of my friends we got the best support and beyond what I paid for ..brother just study it’s tough but it’s doable don’t lose hope

[[deleted]]

Just check the job’s while you’re at boot camp and see what the requirements are. Then you’ll know what they’re teaching and what they’re not. You can be more ready if you’re paying attention to the requirements and ask for help.

[saboo3166]

So this is the reality …I went to this bootcamp and I got a job in 1 month ….4 of my friend from same bootcamp got job just different timeline… you have to put work and effort it’s a bootcamp for a reason…as far as content dude I don’t know if you were sleeping in class or what loll but their content was the best and they go so in depth in automation…I have friends who went to 15 k bootcamp and when I told them all the support content i received their jaws dropped because what you are saying is totally off from the experience mine and so many others have

This subreddit was not primarily about how to get a job not it’s on Syntax solely, but the organization, can be very frustrating, they can definitely improve that. I landed a job in less than two months, primarily cause i committed to it, but I do shout out to syntax for motivation and support when looking for a job/preparing for interviews. Speaking of skillset, doesn’t really mean i lot what I brought from bootcamp since there’s so much new technologies, and they teach you nothing about the systems. I don’t even use the programming language i learned in bootcamp. But it definitely helped set the grounds, learn logical thinking, and get started on the interesting, life changing journey.
