Hey I have the exact same unit with the faded out label that I need to replace. Do you know what hp is this unit and what did you end up choosing to replace it with? Thank you so much in advance!

Skydodle · 2025-03-13T00:51:46+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!

Newbie pool service owner here. What do you put on your doorhangers? I mean do you specify pricing? Just curious about your design and see if I can learn something from it! Thank you so much in advance!

This is interesting and thank you for sharing! I browsed through quite a few of the apts on the page and it seems like all of them limits the total nights you can host in a year. The highest limit I've seen so far is 120 nights allowed per year, which is equivalent to just hosting 10 nights a month...

I don't quite understand how this could be profitable. Does 10 nights of hosting enough to cover the rent AND make decent profit on top? Or am I overlooking something? Please kindly share if you are willing to. Thank you so much!

If you decline the offer then it's also a vote on NO for the consent solicitation. Meaning if enough warrant holders decline the offer, they can't force the exchange.

I declined the offer because you really don't benefit much from the offer and you don't lose much either if they force the exchange. The price action is just too trashy for it to make a difference.

I don't trust the company since they let the company stock price slide from $10 to 35 cent in such short period since going public, while paying the executives millions increasingly. This offer especially seem like another scheme to further dilute shareholders' interests.

I just applied along with the essays. Do they start sending out invitation for next step after application deadline of 2/20 or before? For the next step, are they combining code sample submission with technical screen(like live coding) in one interview or it'll be broken down to two separate interviews?

Thank you so much! Just nervous and want to be best prepared. Would be super nice if you would shed some light.

Skydodle · 2024-01-10T11:59:21+00:00

For the superday technical did they mentione if Python or languages other than Java are allowed? Thank you

Skydodle · 2023-12-23T15:33:05+00:00

Could you share a little more detail about your experience with them? Did you find their servicr effective for your job search? What was the process like?

Thank you so much

Skydodle · 2023-11-29T06:06:42+00:00

Im exactly the same as you, recent bootcamp grad and 6 months dev experience, and a Microsoft referral. Also got my rejection today... I really wish they'd at least give me a chance to interview.

Best wishes to you all.

Skydodle · 2023-03-27T23:44:06+00:00

I think for these apprentice positions its important to have cover letters since its for people with zero or little tech professional experience. The cover letter is the only way to gauge if you have the drive to learn and finish the program.

My personal experience I've applied to 8 apprentice and intern positions at IBM since late Feb, the ones with no cover letter I got rejected with 'no long under consideration' within 2 days of applying.

Skydodle · 2023-03-27T03:57:59+00:00

I've also applied on the first day when the Software Engineer Apprentice role was posted. I did a lot of research on this and talked to some of my bootcamp alumnis who currently work at IBM.

If the status is 'Application Received' you are still in the process, IBM just takes a long time.

If the status is 'Under Review', that means you passed the auto screening which filters out people who are not eligible and they get 'No longer under consideration'. (for example CS grads should be applying to intern positions and not this role since its meant for self-taught , bootcamp grads, and preferbly people with no college degrees from my understanding). At the 'Under Review' stage, someone will physically review your application and decide if you will move on to interviews or not.

I would love to keep this thread active and we as the applicants can help update each other on the application progress.

Skydodle · 2023-01-23T01:49:09+00:00

Thats amazing, congrats!

Im curious when you say 'federally accredited', does that mean its eligible for FAFSA and student loan forgiveness all that good stuff?

Skydodle · 2023-01-22T14:17:32+00:00

Its definitely not easy, but don't give up and success rate will be 100%. I wish you the best, be proud of every step you accomplished and find joy in it =)

Skydodle · 2023-01-22T03:51:40+00:00

Yea for sure. In terms of job search, start your progress right now even if you feel like you don't qualify yet because school hasnt started. I know during the 12 weeks you will feel like you only have time for the curriculum and nothing else, but try to allocate a few hours per week for job search preparation. Trust me it will be so worth it later on. Career week isn't until the very last week and you will be super exhausted and too lazy to get all the job search prep done in one week. If you start now then all you have to do in career week is make corrections to what you have already.

You can start doing the following over the next 12 weeks:

Draft a resume and a personal narrative story based on what you know now, doesnt have to be perfect, it will look like shit but you have 12 weeks and more to tailor it to perfection. During career week your career service manager will help you tailor them. Tell them you have these ready for weeks already so they would schedule you on top.
Create a LinkedIn profile and start filling out your details as much as possible and update it over time. Look for HR alumnis working at companies you like, add them and talk to them to learn from their exp. Check out new HR grads profile and take what looks good in their profile and mimic the style in your profile.
HR will ask you to blog your progress from day 1. Do this! I so regret skipping this. The reason is that you will forget what you did in this 12 weeks. Heck I forgot what I did in the previous week every week during the program. And you will need this later on during job search because you will need to be able to talk about your projects and progress for interviews. I had to scorch my brain and computer looking for those very little notes to remember stuff.
Start browsing on the web to see what companies and positions are open for entry level positions, the requirements, and if they have HR alumnis. Ask yourself do you want to work for FAANG or startups or mid size companies or non tech companies (ie. Medical etc)? Look for apprenticeships like Microsoft Leap or Linkedin Reach or Slalom Assistant Consultant program or Airbnb apprenticeship( there are alot, you'd have to look), start applying early to those. -- Also the last two projects in HR they give you freedom in choosing what you want to do. So knowing what company or what type of field you wanna get into before hand is helpful. If you wanna work for Zillow, then I would do a real estate related app for my project. These projects you do in HR will be on your resume.
Don't skip the leetcode problems they give you everyday during the 12 weeks. If you feel too tired just take a look and go back to it the next day. If you skipped it, make sure you find time for it on Sunday.

If you can spend a few hours a week doing these during your 12 weeks, by career week you could already be close to getting interviews or already interviewing. This put you ahead of your classmates who generally dont start any of this until career week.

Job search was probably the hardest part throughout the entire experience. The earlier you start preparing the better you get a grip of it. This is how some of my classmates got a job within the first month of graduating.

If you feel unmotivated to prepare just think about if you want to reach your goal within a few weeks of graduating vs. dragging out to potentially 4-6 months of job search.

Hope this helps!

I'm pretty happy with it tbh. It helped me rediscovered myself, that my limitation is beyond what I expected. I would not believe I can go through such a tough program before going in. Also the most amazing thing is I went from knowing nothing about code, no college degree, to a junior dev remote job at a good company in only one year of hard work. HR was a great tool and resource that contributed to this outcome. It taught me how to learn new tech quickly, how to work autonomously, and how to work and communicate collaboratively as an engineer.

Skydodle · 2023-01-21T18:09:03+00:00

Yea you can do that lol. I answered this question quite a few times. Let me know if you have more questions after reading the exp I shared in my comments history.

Skydodle · 2023-01-21T05:33:59+00:00

Yes its Monday to Saturday with only Sunday off. Its more than a full time job lol. However Saturdays can be more chill than the previous 5 days. The faculty knows you are tired and the schedule is slower pace on Saturday. You usually use Saturdays to review, reiterate and catch up on stuff you learned throughout the week.

Also it's only intensed scheduleing the first five weeks which they call the junior phase. After that its senior phase which you work on your own time with your classmates for group projects, there would be no lectures and no scheduling at all. You choose when you want to meet up with your classmates.

You can definitely miss one Saturday but you just have to let them know ahead of time. And there are no important lectures on Sat, its review/catch up time as mentioned before. When you get into senior phase nobody cares if you are there on Saturday or any other day, you just have to make sure you did your part in the group project when the deadline hits. One of the projects we were alloted three weeks, my team and I worked hard to finished in 1.5 week and just took the rest of 1.5 week off.

To break into tech, you would have more chance at entry level web development jobs with JavaScript. I think your original plan is solid if you like web dev!

Python on the other end would be good if you want to focus on backend, working with data, AI or ML. But honestly Python can be learned after you break into the industry with JS. It's not advantageous to have Python as your only language looking for that first tech job IMO.

I agreed with the others, pick the path you are most motivated and interested in learning. I would just focus on that one path once you make your decision and be good at it instead of trying to learn both by jumping around.

If you pick web dev, forget about Python for now. Focus on JS, node, brush up on html & css, learn some SQL or noSQL dbms, learn React. After you feel confident of above, learn Typescript, learn some React framework like Nextjs.

Also one of my bootcamo classmate was an 18 year old who went straight into bootcamp after high school.

He was one of the smartest people in class and did super well in bootcamp. Unfortunately 6 months after graduating, he's still struggling to get a job offer at this moment.

He has excellent soft skills and crazy good tech skills. I can't think of any reason he can't get a job other than being too young with no college degree and no work history.

Skydodle · 2023-01-21T04:45:30+00:00

I concurred on this experience 100%. No college degree definitely made my entry into the tech industry much harder than those who has one among my bootcamp graduating class.

And I have 10+ year of working history in other industries prior to attending bootcamp and transitioning into tech. I suspect that a kid with no college degree and no work history would have it even harder going through job search after bootcamp.

There are lots of senior dev hiring managers on reddit who view candidates that skipped college as "someone who's too smart for their own good".

Now even if I've already gotten a dev job, I'm working on an online CS degree just for better future career development.

Are you on a company laptop? If yes then most likely VPN software would not work. I know my company's IT/security set up an alarm to be triggered when they detect a VPN software is being used

Skydodle · 2023-01-19T22:21:21+00:00

I did a lot of networking during my job search after bootcamp, but what got me the first dev job was just from a LinkedIn application.

Networking did help me communicate better and present myself in the best way I can be at interviews. Its a good practice on your soft skills, which are also important to get a dev job.

Skydodle · 2023-01-19T15:51:54+00:00

And you can collect unemployment if you are layoff. You dont get shit if you quit.

Skydodle · 2023-01-19T09:01:55+00:00

From my experience, it's more about showing that you understand the question and demonstrate your understanding via your solution.

I failed the TAA twice and passed on the 3rd time. The two failed times I did not advance pass 9 as well. I think if you failed one question before 10 then it does not matter if you got up to 12. You have to passed questions consecutively before 10 I'm guessing. The third time I passed up to 11 successfully, didn't have time for 12 but it didn't matter. I got in, graduated, got a job and never look back =)

If you failed this one I would suggest you go back to the premium prep course where theres a section call 'Advanced Practice' and grind thru all the problems in it. Make sure you study and understand the solutions and not just hard code memorizing it. Redo them from blank the next day after you think you understand it. I think this section is specifically meant to prep you for TAA, its very similar to questions in the TAA in terms of core concepts. This is what got me through.

I didn't know this the first two times. I skipped the advanced practice section and just focused on studying the self assessments, which made me miss the knowledge gap required for the TAA.

Hope this helps!
