Help Desk Technician or Software Engineer Training with the possible job placement: help with the dilemma.
2023.01.23 21:54 ulvi95 Help Desk Technician or Software Engineer Training with the possible job placement: help with the dilemma.
Dear Community!
I live in Houston, TX, and I am unemployed staying with my friends. So, I have a little income from the classes I provide. I want also to add that I didn't have any IT jobs before, and what I have is only the MS degree
At this moment, I have the following situation where I need some help:
With best regards,

I live in Houston, TX, and I am unemployed staying with my friends. So, I have a little income from the classes I provide. I want also to add that I didn't have any IT jobs before, and what I have is only the MS degree
At this moment, I have the following situation where I need some help:
- In Revature, I passed the initial interview, and the recruiter told me to write him once I decide to start the job placement process with them. This is the 10 weeks training with the possible 18 months placement with one of the Revature clients if I do successfully. The salary of Entry Level Software Engineer is 45k-55k USD at the first year, and increases by 15k USD in the next year during the contract. The pros are that during the training, I will get the minimum wage, which will be fully enough to cover my housing and meal during the training. Additionally, if I perform well, I might be moved to the The cons is the penalty if I leave the job during the contract, and the relocation (although I am ready to this, organizing things in the new place will take the time).
- From the other hand, I might get the Help Desk Technician I job offer from the Centre Technologies in the Houston, TX. The salary is about 40k USD/yearly. The pros are the fact that the job is in Houston, TX itself. The cons are the low salary, the car that I must buy to travel to the job, the possible low benefits and unknown perspectives (I have read some negative reviews on Glassdoor). Also, I want to add that the recruiter hasn't told me about the decision yet; she told me that I should expect the answer on Friday.

2023.01.19 19:16 SuckMyDickReddit420 My experience with Revature
Hello,
I felt compelled to make a post about my experience with Revature. There are many posts like it but this one is mine. I will give you the God's honest truth, as unbiased as I can make it. I actually wrote this like 2 months ago and was waiting until I had 100 karma on my other throwaway to post here.. then it got banned. Which is weird, because I am so well behaved.. Anyway, I guess I'll just post it on this beloved account.
Before Revature:
In late summer of 2021 I was working a construction job with a Computer Science degree and very few prospects. A couple months of that in the summer heat made the idea of working for Revature go from a worst case scenario to a very tempting idea. Frankly I didn't care how much they were going to fuck me, I did not get a god damn Bachelor's degree to put up fascia in 100 degree weather. So I did it, I bit the bullet and accepted that I was going to be an underpaid developer for a WITCH company... and not just any WITCH company, but the infamous Revature.
Let me start off by saying that Revature responded to me FREAKY fast. I applied, and within like 30 minutes somebody called me. If this was for any other job I would've been ecstatic. Instead, I was deeply concerned. If you are reading this Revature, come off a bit less like a desperate ex. Ultimately, I accepted their terms. I did reach out to them first, after all. I was ready to do anything to not work construction.
Training with Revature:
When I started my journey at Revature they were quick to point out that only 10% of the candidates that apply for their positions even make it to training. If that is actually the case, their candidate choices must include bobbleheads and dog turds. My training "batch" (as they called it) started with 35 people in it. Frankly, I could've weeded out 10 of them in less than half an hour. We had a 60+ year old dude that would be hard pressed to start command prompt successfully. There were a few others that were not much better. Compare that to me and at least a handful of others that had Comp Sci degrees and the level of variance was staggering. As you can probably imagine, the first week was programming 101 and it was incredibly boring. If you are reading this Revature, do better at grouping your batches. Make people wait longer to start training and group people with similar educational backgrounds.
By the second week we were learning about full stack development, which was somewhat interesting. From there we moved into Javascript, Angular, some Dev Ops stuff, and more that I have certainly forgot. Training was pretty hard to follow at first because every time our instructor would give us a simple instruction like "start Intellij" somebody would always fuck it up. Always. And then we all had to wait for them, just for somebody else to fuck up something else 5 minutes later. Since all of our training was remote and our instructor didn't really care if we had our webcams on, I'm pretty sure I fell asleep on multiple occasions.
There were 4 projects to be completed throughout training.
Every week after the first 2 or so, we would be given an assessment in the form of QC (quality control). These assessments were done by a Revature QC person in front of the entire batch, which served two crucial purposes: Interview practice and weeding. In a nutshell you answered some questions from training such as "name the 4 pillars of OOP" until the QC guy was satisfied. You were "graded" for these QC interviews but not actually told how well you did. They mentioned that doing poorly in enough QCs would result in you being kicked out of training. I thought they were bluffing to make people try harder. They were not bluffing. Between people getting axed and people just realized they were not cut out to be a software engineer, our batch ended up going down to 18 or so people out of the initial 35.
Around the end of training our instructor wanted us to fill out a review for Revature on Glassdoor, just giving an honest review of our experience. It was strictly optional. They are clearly aware of their poor reputation and want to change it. Leaving a review right out of training seemed premature so I told myself I would do a review only after I was no longer working for them, which is where this post came from.
One thing worth noting is that your performance in training DOES seem to matter. Some of the "top students" and I were given interviews with a very well known fortune 500 company, whereas the people who barely made it through were given to another contractor company to be someone else's bitch. So after stumbling through the interview I was told that they were interesting in hiring me. After that I went into a sort of limbo, where I was just waiting everyday to get my start date. I still had to check in every morning, but after that I was pretty much getting paid minimum wage to do absolutely nothing. This lasted an entire month. It was awesome.
After training:
Eventually they remembered I existed and I had to go work for this company for 45k a year. The pay sucked but it was remote and my cost of living was very low, so I was pretty happy. Fast forward ~10 months of doing that and I got a phone call from my Revature guy asking if I would like to work full time for the company I was contracted out to. I said yes, and now I am doing the same work but making a little over 100k. I did have to relocate and go into office, but I was always ok with that.
It's worth noting that I am still "on the hook" for my contract in the sense that I am supposed to stay with my current company for at least 14 months (to equal the full 24 month contract). I have no idea if they enforce that but I have no intention of finding out because I really like my job. I probably got lucky with this whole thing but my experience with Revature was surprisingly pleasant overall. A solid 7/10.
If you have any questions I will do my best to answer. I don't think training is remote anymore so a lot of information I have in that regard is probably dated.

Since all of our training was remote and our instructor didn't really care if we had our webcams on, I'm pretty sure I fell asleep on multiple occasions.
There were 4 projects to be completed throughout training.
- A pretty simple app that used standard input to navigate through text menus. It used jdbc to connect to a database and did some fun stuff like that.
- An app with a frontend in javascript and a java backend that also did some database stuff.
- A team project (3-4 people) where you made a social networking app using Angular and a java backend. This took a lot of time but I learned a lot about Angular. Too bad my job doesn't use Angular at all.
- Kind of like project 3 but with the entire training batch on one team. We utilized microservices and had small teams on each microservice.
Every week after the first 2 or so, we would be given an assessment in the form of QC (quality control). These assessments were done by a Revature QC person in front of the entire batch, which served two crucial purposes: Interview practice and weeding.

2022.09.22 21:25 ILoveMyMom420Sniper Staging was a shitshow
I had a great instructor during training, and I actually left a nice review on Glassdoor at the end of my training. When it came time to go to staging, the staging staff was completely unresponsive unless it was something they could get in trouble for. They treated the entire group like children and most of us were in our mid 20's to mid 30's. They gave no answers to anybody regarding the lack of interviews then they surprised everybody with being furloughed. Probably because Revature doesn't want to hold on to us by 3-4 weeks while they look for more clients hiring. This probably isn't even a furlough. They've done everything in their power to lie and mislead everybody about post-training throughout the whole process. Revature doesn't give a fuck about you. Be warned if you are thinking about joining. Revature will give you a lot of hope, but once training ends and you go on to staging. You will realize just how chaotic and shitty this company really is.

2022.09.08 18:18 blahsx Anyone heard of Conflux Systems?
Been looking for a job for months now and this company contacted me out of the blue on linkedin. Anyone heard of the company called Conflux Systems? I looked up on google and saw a lot of good reviews on glassdoor but don't know if they're legit or not. I'm trying to figure out if they're WITCH company like Revature, Genspark, Dev10, and etc.

2022.09.06 22:10 kruskythrowaway Feeling like giving up after Revature
I joined in 2021 and found the people in my class were similar to me. Recent undergrads struggling to find a coding job. Revature takes advantage of your situation and convinces you that you’ll be hired by american workers and american companies.
As a man with Indian parents, I was annoyed to experience that all the interviews I was set up for were being conducted by ONLY Indian men. The companies they were setting us up to interview were for Indian consulting firms hosted in America. So Revature is a software engineering firm sending you to other indian software engineering firms (cognizant, infosys). Every single coding interview I did at revature was with a man with an indian accent. The only time I was not interviewed by Indians was when I told the hiring managers I give up on coding.
They offered me an interview at an american bank with no coding involved, all excel and email work. I worked there for a few months only to realize it’s another disorganized understaffed bank that would take anyone out of college who wanted the job. It feels like you’re being scammed everyday you work for this company. The reviews on glassdoor are extremely censored and controlled.
I feel like an idiot for signing with them at all. Any advice for a recent undergrad? Should I not trust any of these bootcamps if I already have a degree?

2022.02.21 03:47 every1listentome Just got my first job offer...
For the past 12 years I've been a paramedic. But I needed a change. Graduated with my associates in computer science in December. I have ZERO experience, didn't really get much in college. I got an offer for junior full stack web developer. It's in Oklahoma, and 20 miles from my house. It's started at $25/hour. The have mostly decent reviews on Glassdoor.
They are putting my through an online 14 week boot camp. They are paying for the class as well as paying me while I take the class. I will have to sign a 2 year contract, but to me this sounds like a really good deal
Edit: It is NOT Revature. It's a local company. 9-5. Monday - Friday. I know someone who worked there who enjoyed it. No relocation.

2022.02.07 19:10 coolsvilleboy Has anyone had any experience with Medasource or GDKN?
I got two emails from Indeed, one for Medasource, and the other being GDKN. Both encouraged me to apply, but are seemingly too good to be true and I'd really like to avoid a situation similar to Revature or EnhanceIT where if I try to leave too soon I get charged thousands of dollars. I can't find much information other than what Glassdoor and Indeed have to say.
I just wanted to know if anyone else has had any experience with them, thanks in advanced!

2021.12.21 18:03 AjuntaPaul Update about working at Revature
I am a Mathematics major, not in CS, but I do shave some programming experience and still am willing to consider some jobs in the field. I recently graduated in May and other than an internship for 6 months, have not been able to break out in any part of my field yet. Job searching really sucks.
I received an email from a company called Revature today, I had never heard of them before so naturally I start googling everything I can.
Below is what they sent me:
“We are a rapidly growing technology talent development company that is focused on providing our Fortune 500 clients with the best software engineers in the country. Our unique corporate training program allows college graduates to gain knowledge on the most in-demand technologies.
Prior to working with one of our clients, you will receive intense technical and professional training (10-12 weeks). Starting on day one, you become a Revature employee and are paid during the training period before placement with our clients. In addition, corporate housing is available to you for the length of your training.
We have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Money, Time, and MSN, and were named one of the “8 Cool Companies to Apply to With Awesome Benefits” by Glassdoor.”
I saw a post on here from about 5 years ago saying that this is a total scam, and they are just shitty and force you to move some random place. Just wanted to see if there were any recent updates on this. What really weirded me out from the email was them throwing in all these media references about their company, just seems weird to me.
If anyone knows anything more about this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

2021.10.23 19:36 coffee-teeth Red flags
What are some red flags, in your experience, to look out for when applying for, interviewing for, or accepting positions in a new job?
Im a fresh grad. I've been applying for a few weeks now and I got an interview with a company on Monday for an associate software engineer. The offer is amazing, great pay, pto, medical plan, FT, remote options. They said its an initial training period to learn their product suite working under a team of software engineers that will go on for about 3 months. A graduate training program its called. Then I guess full employment after that.
This company is a recent merger of two other companies, all three of which provided customer experience services software (like the AI that asks how it can help you on a site).
Im wary as ive gotten tons of scammy offers, like revature cold emailing me and such.
But i havent found even a hint of evidence online after hours of scouring that says anything negative about this company or its two prior companies that comprise the merger. Glassdoor, Linkedin, etc. theyre fairly small, but all employee reviews are decent or good, and a few thousand people on linkedin have the place listed as a workplace.
Any advice? I'm going to discuss the position further, I'm just wondering what to look out for that may suggest this position isnt as great as it seems. Just in case!

2021.10.03 07:05 Willy988 Got a JOB offer but it feels too good to be true based on my knowledge. need advice.
I don't want to ask on cscareerquestions for reasons, so I will ask here since this sub pertains to my issue... my knowledge of programming. I am a sophomore student, and I am currently doing D&A. After browsing here I was like screw it, I will shoot my shots and just apply everywhere, because what's the worst that could happen?
Just to be clear, I stated that I have an associates degree (not bachelors) and that I am looking for an internship. I know all about robots sending automated messages to you and such, but I looked into this and it is legit. I know this resume host or whatever you call it and I know for a fact that something caught the system's eye.
They put some really precise detailing too, so if it is automated, it's so specific.

2021.06.14 01:11 Silver-Jellyfish-452 Is TATA Consulting a good place to begin my CS career?
I just graduated college with a BS in Computer Science but as of right now I'm still up in the air as to what I want to do with my career. I haven't gotten a job yet, so I've spent the first few weeks since graduating looking for jobs.
So far, I've applied to companies like Target and Best Buy (companies based in Minneapolis-St. Paul, which is where I live). These companies usually take a couple of weeks to look at your application and then send you an email some weeks later either asking you to complete the next steps of the application process or telling you that they are no longer considering you.
However, I recently applied for a job at TATA Consulting as a Software Engineer, and I was shocked at how quickly they responded. The reason I applied was that somebody from TATA reached out to me on LinkedIn and asked me to schedule an interview and to fill out an application for the job. I had the interview a couple of weeks ago (which I thought went pretty well, but not the best interview I've had), and getting the job application done was not a top priority of mine, because I did not know how I felt about getting a job at TATA Consulting. However, I filled out the application just a couple of days ago because TATA kept reaching out to me and asking me to get that done, so I did. The next morning, I got an email for a job offer at TATA Consulting.
I'm a little bit hesitant to accept the job offer. I've applied to a couple of consulting firms before; I applied for a job at Revature, but after I heard back from them I decided not to respond to them because I've heard nothing but bad things about Revature on the Internet. I also got offered a job at Pyramid Academy, but I declined because it came with a very strict non-compete that said that I had to work for them for two years, and I would be fined $10,000 if I tried to opt-out of the contract. I'm also aware of the possibility of relocation, which is something I would be open to someday, but I don't know if I'd be open to it right now.
While I am hesitant to accept, the job does pay well, and it does offer a lot of pretty decent benefits. I also do have the freedom to quit the job whenever I would like and find employment elsewhere. However, there a couple of things I want to know before I make a decision as to whether or not to accept this job offer:

- Is this a good first step for a CS career? - Does this look good on a resume? Will it help me get a job at a company such as Best Buy or Target in the future?
- Do you recommend I take this position? If not, what alternatives should I consider? - Would you recommend this to someone like me, who does not know what they want to do for work? If not, what better opportunities do you think there are?
2021.03.09 19:22 ChewyChao Does anyone know anything about working for HCL America?
I applied to a “Fresh graduates for entry level IT support analyst” position and they called me the very next day. That kinda sketched me out. The pay is ok for an entry level job but the reviews online for the company are subpar. The average is below a 2.7 on indeed but a 3.4 on Glassdoor
Many people complain about bad management, work life balance, etc. I was wondering if anyone has some insight on this company. I have a feeling it’s like Revature or Accenture that train you and contract you out to big companies

2020.12.01 15:55 voiceofonecrying What is the consensus for companies like Revature?
I just had a recruiter reach out to me from Revature wanting me to apply for their entry level SWE position. When I look them up their reviews on Glassdoor say that they pay in the mid 50s with a two year commitment.
I like the idea of telling my wife that I got a job so quickly, but I do NOT want to feel stuck undersold. I’m afraid of not getting hired though because this subreddit makes it seem like it’s slim pickings. I don’t have any internships, I’m graduating in the next couple weeks in computer science from WGU, and I did the whole program in one semester. I don’t know if that’s a liability or a selling point haha.

2020.02.06 17:14 MiserableProduct HTML/CSS job?
I'm interested in a possible HTML/CSS job. I'm not great with JavaScript yet, and I could use full-time work. I am both changing careers and looking to get out of freelancing.
How do you think an HTML/CSS job be would be viewed when I move onto full front-end development roles? Also, this is through Revature. I've read on Glassdoor that they relocate, but I don't know if they do this exclusively.
Thoughts? Thanks!

2019.11.09 07:41 xiaopixie Anyone here has experience with Apolis?
I got an email saying they need urgent developers. These are often ignored by me, except that I am jobless and have been out of the market for almost 2 years. I havent done much coding since last year, but I really want to work in this field.
The position is a Entry Level Front End (Java) Application Developer . They offer a 6-8 weeks of training on html, css, js, angular and whatnot. I tried to google any post regarding Apolis, couldnt find any. And their glassdoor review is really good with some "stay away" reviews near the end. Has anyone had experience with Apolis? Is this a credible contractor or its just one of those like Revature?
Thanks a lot

2019.10.02 04:34 ADistantFriend Feeling lost when it comes to job hunting
First time posting ever so forgive the formatting.
A little background about me to get y'all started. I'm [21M] a recent CIS Summer graduate so I've only been out of school for a short time. During my free time I've been looking for jobs on my school career portal, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn ( I just created an account recently though).
As I'm applying I'm beginning to realize that I'm not qualified for a lot of jobs. This is due to the fact that even though I graduated with a CIS major, my school was more focused on the business side of things so we were only expected to do one semester of C++ which ended with functions. It doesn't help that my C++ professor wasn't good at all so I didn't learn a lot in that class nor did I retain most of the information. This reality really hit hard when I was doing an IBM interview for their client facing technological support position.
The first portion was a bunch of games to test my cognitive abilities and a personality test which I think I did okay in. The second portion was actual coding and even though the questions were supposed to be easy, I couldn't even figure out where to begin with the questions, let alone answer them. I just sat there trying everything I could remember until time ran out. At this point I'm feeling even more hopeless because I have other companies who responded to my job applications but I'm pretty sure it's all programming heavy since I applied for an IT position.
At this point I'm questioning career choices and wondering if I should look at another career or just sell my soul and continue with Revature (speaking of which, I made it into the program but after careful consideration I'm thinking of opting out. The home training hasn't started yet so if I were to email them not saying I want to opt out, there shouldnt be a problem right?)

2019.08.10 20:52 contemplativeraisin A list of sketchy companies to steer clear of
Based off of the post that I made a couple days ago, here's a list of shady companies that you might want to be aware of. Some of these are straight up scams and others are companies with questionable practices. Feel free to comment any others that you'd like for me to add on.
Also a special thanks to u/Ya_mike, u/strikefreedompilot, u/binarySearch_recurse, u/csthrowawayquestion and u/thetapasbalu for providing the names of these companies and information used to make this post. **I decided to stop adding in other users in case this list gets obscenely long.
submitted by contemplativeraisin to cscareerquestions [link] [comments]
- Hire Experts Solution - a full on scam that asks you to pay a $800 deposit for a "training course".
- Talent Path
- FDM - serfdom like contracting company but good if you have bad luck getting employment
- TechField - has lots of ethics issues when it comes to your contract with them.
- Smoothstack - the OP from the post I linked gave a pretty good description of their shadiness: " you make $8 an hour during the 3 month program and can be fired for any reason after having to move out to the DC area, and after the 3 months you aren't actually guaranteed employment anywhere. The other big red flag is the complete lack of info about them online outside of their own site/social media and a fishy glassdoor review. "
- Quintrix - a company based where interviews have left to dead ends? there isn't too much info out there about this one so it's hard to determine its credibility.
- Cogent Infotech - there's a truck load of issues going on at this place, take a look at the first review in the Glassdoor link that I provided.
- Numero Data
- Miracle software systems - a company with a lot of H1b abuse.
- Sollers college - not a company but an "educational institution" that asks for 20% of your income at your first job.
- Revature - extremely shitty work pay policies, take a look at the linked comment for more details.
- Cybercoders - a hiring agency that is apparently a legit company but incredibly spammy and doesn't actually do what they promise to.
- Aspiritech - "It markets itself as a pro-autism workplace, especially for placing QA jobs, but it treats them worse than the "normies" of the company. They don't get 401k or other benefits that non-autistic employees get and get paid much lower, at $12/hr, for QA work. Unpaid training phase and this training doesn't guarantee a job. " (info. from u/ExitTheDonut).
- Credible Behavioral Health Software - a company with serious management issues, employees are overworked and fired easily.
- Empowr- u/Mr_Gobble_Gobble details their experience with the company here: "As part of the interviewing process the recruiter (which is some low level dev or marketing person) pushes that you should read the CEO's book to understand the company and do well in the interview when you meet with the CEO. Well the only way to read it is to purchase it so... they make some money off of devs going through the interview process. The book itself is laughably awful and suggests that terrorism can be defeated by, you guessed it, Empowr. "
- Perficient - as per u/wavyhairedsamurai: "[they] do a similar 2-year contract with forced relocation and a payment of $10,000 if you leave the company during that time." , the Reddit post I've linked provide information that makes they sound a lot like a scam as well (you have to pay shipping fees to have equipment shipped to you).
- KGS group - "Like that hire experts solution they have you pay $700 for a course as well." - from u/AirNSpace
Also a special thanks to u/Ya_mike, u/strikefreedompilot, u/binarySearch_recurse, u/csthrowawayquestion and u/thetapasbalu for providing the names of these companies and information used to make this post. **I decided to stop adding in other users in case this list gets obscenely long.
2019.06.19 22:58 FM2019 Internships after graduation?
I recently graduated with a Bachelors in CS and am struggling to find a job. My grades weren't great, I don't have an internship on my resume, and it's made things difficult. The only offers I've gotten are for companies such as revature that would like me to move multiple times a year which would be extremely difficult considering I have a pet. I'm willing to relocate but not 2-3 times a year. I was just curious if anyone's had success breaking into the field as a post-grad intern? Or any other advice to break in as a dev. I can deal with low pay but I'm desperate for experience that doesn't include me moving all over 3 times a year, just once would be nice. I've been on multiple sites such as linkedin, dice, glassdoor, etc but internships are weirdly very minimal on there. Really any city is fine, is there anywhere that's currently really high in demand that I'm not thinking of?

2019.06.11 20:00 Puripnon 6 months after graduating, starting to regret the years I dedicated to my CS degree.
There have been a few posts with encouragement and success stories. These are great. At the same time, many of us have not had the same success. I suspect that for every person talking about their awesome career, there are many of us who have not had the same luck.
Some of us are ashamed. Some are disgusted with ourselves. Some have just resigned to hopelessness. This post is my best attempt to speak for some of us who have not had success after graduation.
I graduated at the end of December with a 3.6 GPA, a handful of decent projects under my belt, but no internship due to not finding one during my last year in the Portland, OR area (not for lack of trying). I had a decent amount of money saved up, so in February I decided to take a couple of months off and dedicate myself to finding my first tech job.
I have sent out well over 100 applications (I stopped counting after two months). I have had several phone interviews and a handful of technical interviews. No job.
I sought out information on /cscareerquestions and the cscareerhackers Discord. I have had friends practice interview questions. I have had professionals look at my resume. I have grinded Leetcode and read through Cracking the Coding Interview. I have tried to network. I have worked on side projects. I have labored for hours on cover letters.
Nothing has worked. After a few months the large amount of savings has dwindled. I am looking for anything now. I will dedicate the few hours outside of my job and having a family to continuing to apply. If the more than 40 I'm currently dedicating to the hunt isn't working, I don't know how the few hours I will have left outside of my next job will be any different.
If you look on /cscareerquestions, you will find many people flatly stating that if you cannot find a job, it is your fault. These people, I suspect, have had a job for a few years now. They are unaware of the situation facing some of us in some cities.
I'm pretty sure I know why it has gotten so bad. Two weeks ago, I applied for a "recent graduate" position. It was for a trucking company, so it was not some glamorous FAANG job people are cutting each other's throats for. Indeed just sent me an email stating that 327 people applied for the position through their site.
327 through their site alone.
Sure, some of these applications are trash. Many are likely fellow graduates in the same boat. Many have had internships, previous tech jobs, or have networks they can leverage to get a foot up. I do not know if I stand a chance, regardless of how well I interview.
So, I have a dilemma now. I have a kid who is going to middle school next fall. I can continue to compete with the hundreds of people fighting for scraps here, or I can pull her away from the first real friends she has made and look for a company in any city that will hire me.
Before anyone accuses me of entitlement, I don't blame my college. Nobody promised me a job after school. I don't blame society. I am in my 30's and the CS degree was my 2nd bachelors degree, but I don't blame age discrimination. The only group of people I can muster any anger for are the companies doing the hiring, and even then, it's only for their hypocrisy.
Right now, in the Portland area, there are over 1000 open positions showing up on Glassdoor for Software Developer. Of those, 7 are listed as entry level. Of those, 2 are legitimate entry level jobs (excluding the vultures at Revature and the jobs asking for Associate level experience). If you look through the Junior Software Developer jobs, it isn't uncommon to see ads asking for 2+ years of professional experience. These are the same positions you see perpetually open month after month.
The same companies complaining about the lack of talented developers and hiring headhunters to locate experienced employees are the same ones failing to invest in the future of the profession. They want their employees broken in and trained at other businesses, but the "other businesses" are also relying on the same thing. It's a non-zero-sum game that's going to backfire once the need for developers far outgrows the dwindling pool of talent.
Sorry for the long, rambling post. Thank you for letting me vent. If you made it this far, I will give you the same advice my philosophy professor gave me when I told him I was interested in going to grad school for philosophy. Only go into a CS program if you can't imagine yourself doing anything else. Do not go expecting to do it for a living, because there's a chance that regardless of how good you are at it, you won't.
TLDR; Job market is hot trash for recent grads because many companies only want experienced developers and there are many of us without experience fighting for the same few jobs.
Edit: changed zero-sum to non-zero-sum.

2019.05.08 21:01 Crossed_Legion Miracle software, good or bad?
I was contacted by said organization and was wondering about their record from more sources than glassdoor. Is their reputation like other firms (i.e revature, synergistic..), or what?
