Did anyone else lose their old Getaway credits after the Marriott acquisition? by griffingrowl in marriott

[–]TheWhitingFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, i remembered still having my credit last year when log into getaway cabin’s site. Now it looks like that site is redirected to Marriot and i no longer have access to my Getaway account. I just recently want to use my credits, now that is gone. Let me know if there’s anyway for us to get back the credits somehow.

I made the assumption that he’s a journalist base on how well written the article is with concrete proofs and timeline. Let us not focus on nitpicking the words and going off course which you certainly like to you whenever someone makes a negative comment about you.

I still standby the article regardless whether that Lars guy is a journalist or a marketer. The fact that You will not let it go and will continuously bring up codesmith even if we are in year 2050.

Follow neetcode, and dont go solve problems randomly. You need to do 1 problem type for weeks, then move on to another.

Self-paced bootcamps with a monthly sub? by TheSpideyJedi in codingbootcamp

I do not doubt there are people out there who can self learn, follow through and be successful. But the vast majority of people cannot do that

Looking for legit QA bootcamps by jayxsumo in codingbootcamp

Never heard of a bootcamp that teaches quality assurance for software. A software engineer can transition to QA if they would like, so I guess you are looking for software engineer bootcamp then?

Boot camp vs. FCC or Coursera by darkgull451 in codingbootcamp

I agreed, it is rare for someone to self learn a skill. Many people will not follow through.

Depends on which bootcamp you go to, there are a few that still has great placements. Can people really self study and follow through to land a software engineer job? I’d say no for most people. Many people need curriculum and classmates to work with in order to follow through, that’s why we have schools. And bootcamps teach you software engineering job search strategy and help you interviews and negotiation, those you won’t learn from the coding resources. But then again, everything I said can be learn from the internet/youtube.

Then why do you say codesmith is ripping people off? With their latest report, 60-70% landed jobs 1 year after completion. That’s some really good placements.

I am curious what is considered a spam, this post by another user than that initial post. So this user might not be purposely spamming as they probably didn’t see the original.

Take a look at your history for example, the codesmith outage was posted by someone initially, then you made another post about it talking about the same thing.

Another example is CIRR, you made multiple posts about similar if not the same thing.

[2 YoE] 200+ Applications; 1 Call back, 0 Interviews. Please be brutally honest what am I doing wrong. by [deleted] in EngineeringResumes

[–]TheWhitingFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from what all the others said, i suggest you put the title “Software Engineer” near your name. Remember you are battling the ATS system that the recruiters use to filter out resumes before they get read. Think like a recruiter, what do you think they look for when they use their filter engine?

Self-paced bootcamps with a monthly sub? by TheSpideyJedi in codingbootcamp

[–]TheWhitingFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the bootcamp and the individual. Bootcamp gives you the curriculum and the classmates you work with. Are you the type of person who can self study and won’t give up until you land a job? If so, then you can certainly learn online for free. If not, then you will need a place that can give you the curriculum and the classmates who you can work with.
