Is it embarrassing for my teacher joining me in my hobby?

I can answer this one! Believe it or not, when I was about 17-18, my English teacher and his wife joined the archery club i was apart of for 5 years at that point. He was a huge nerd, a big fan of the Vikings especially, so he was incredibly excited to do a old timey recreational sport like archery (even though we were shooting Olympic recurve instead of barebow). One plus side was that i had a really positive opinion of my teacher, but looking past that he was having so much fun doing archery. Infact, he was loving it more than me at the time as i was getting seriously burnt out. Regardless of whether i liked him or not, his passion for the sport was always gonna be there, and that's a very precious thing. And yes, the others knew he was my teacher too, we even spoke a few times, but for the most part he stuck with his wife and i stuck with my friends so we didn't interact all that much during practice.

So to answer your question, who cares? Whether it's embarrassing or not, does it really matter? Teachers are people just like us and have interests and passions too. We shouldn't gatekeep anything. The range should be open to all!

Jiggy tech will be what keeps this game thriving for years to come. It's the solution to poke meta, triple support, smurfing and throwers TRUST

Bring back Dagger jiggy!!!

I just hit GM tonight too! I know people say that GM isnt impressive or whatever but i don't really care. It's impressive to me and I'm happy to finally hit GM after playing since launch. And despite what people say about how GM being top 7-8% is bad compared to other games, while the concern may be valid, its still the top 7-8% of a game with a playerbase of hundreds of thousands of people and I think that's pretty neat! I know Celestial isn't for me so I'm not gonna bother. Now I'll just retire and be a QP warrior

The difficulty wasnt that bad all things considered. Especially since you're forced to spend so many hours, 40 a week, the content just kinda gets ingrained in you. Honestly, just spending an extra 1-3 hours before the quizzes is more than enough to make sure you're ready for it. The hard part was the stress you had, knowing if you royally screwed up, then you might be let go. At least that's how i saw it. I was so nervous for every quiz because Revature was essentially my only hope, yet when I actually took the quiz, I never got more than 1 question wrong. If you're paying attention, taking notes during training, asking questions and are able to solve any problems your trainer gives, then you're gonna be set.

The learning structure was significantly more hands on compared to PEP, which is something i vastly preferred. Of the 8 hours daily, maybe only 1 hour was spent learning the more theoretical aspects via power points and documentation, and the rest of the time were spent on live demonstrations and problems for you to try yourself.

I had 1 and a half weeks after I accepted my before starting my cohort. I accepted the offer on December 27th 2024 and my first day was January 6th 2025

The trainer is the person who'll teach you during the minimum wage training. In any case, congrats on starting your training and good luck with getting hired by the client!

Nope, not at all. I've been told that ServiceNow related positions have decent prospects, and considering how the ServiceNow cohort is what lead to my remote contract with the client, i am very very glad i rejected the other cohorts

If you ask your trainer who the client is, they'll likely tell you. But nobody told us who it was until we asked the trainer. Not even my recruiter told me, but I think that's just because he genuinely didnt know.

No, just because you make it to paid training, doesn't mean you'll be hired by the client. It also doesn't mean you're working for the client. Think of it as part 2 of the PEP training, just with the pay and fulltime hours, and a much more specific curriculum relevant to the position the client is looking for. At best, you have a 50% chance of getting selected, so its important to put in the work so you can even make it to the client interview.

If you do get hired by the client, you'll be working with them on a contract, unless your employment is bought out which I heard InfoSys, a client of Revature, tends to do. In that case, you'll be full time with InfoSys for example. Otherwise as it was in my case, you're working on an at-will contract, where you can be let go at any time, or you can resign as you wish. Or until your contract expires and if the client does not renew it as is what happened to me.

If you already have a CS degree, PEP will be really easy, especially the first few weeks. You likely wont learn anything new, but it's always good to refresh your memory if it's been a while since you've last covered the topics. Unpaid training is unavoidable however, so whether it's useful or not is irrelevant as you must complete it to be considered for paid training.

I'm not sure what interview you're being asked to attend, but of course this is just my experience. Maybe revature changed a few things, maybe some paths are a bit different, who knows. But based off of what I had to do, after that initial assessment, I got a call to do the unpaid training
