I don't mean services like MOOCs, but rather platforms that go in-depth into tech stacks and related technologies like how Laracasts focuses on PHP and its ecosystem. It could be about any language or technology.

Exactly the same company. The fact that all of their glassdoor reviews are from India made me rethink if I should follow through. We'll see how it goes, but making a blacklist sounds pretty dope, so that's a nice new goal.

Preamble: I'm sure there's a better community to ask this question, comment below if you're aware of it.

Okay, for background I'm a bootcamp student, I'm still learning, but I'm almost done. I've been tweaking my LinkedIn as I go, trying to be more attractive for recruiters in the future. Well, last week I was contacted by a recruiter, and asked if I was interested in job opportunities. I did some brief research, and it looks like an actual company on Glassdoor. Anyway, I sent over my resume, and was on a call for maybe 5 minutes. We talk for a bit, and she asked me how I am in interviews and my experience. I tell her that I've been "technically" freelance, but I haven't done anything because of starting cost, but she seemed to ignore that concern. Towards the end of the call I asked her if this would be with her company, and she said yes, and then I said bye.

Now, the problem is that this company is specifically for interview prep, and helping students get hired at other companies. While she said I'd be with her company, I'm concerned that I'm trying to be sold something here. The company is called GigaMe, and there is barely anything online about them.

So, my overall question would be, "what would you do?" Or, what should I expect? I don't think i should get my hopes up, but any advice would help.

They're completely separate. I've heard that they're working on ways to fix this issue, though.

Question: How long does it take to get the proverbial ball rolling on Upwork? I used it for a month and spent $200+ and wasn't able to get any work.

I've used it to help me understand some code concepts and debugging, but over the last two weeks, it went from competent to completely stupid half of the time. It also fails to connect so often, it's unreal.

Especially if it's free. Who would say no to free food?

Similar, but in a past job, I didn't pick up on some cues, treated a coworker like how I treat everyone, and I got yelled at by them. They told me to respect the hierarchy and that I'm not his equal - I was training for a higher position at the time. I was later let go for other reasons they wouldn't mention.

I've been on here about a month, but this is the first comment that fucking killed me. The real reddit is in the comments.

And half of the feed is people talking about how addicted they already are.

[-] Decide@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Can confirm. Instantly better than any other app I've installed for Lemmy. Also, Liftoff requires you to login to each individual instance to upvote anything from that instance for some reason. Summit is great, is what I'm saying.

[-] Decide@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

I tried it, it's meh. Unless I'm missing something, it's just one long feed of people posting random stuff. No tags to search for topics, just accounts. I suppose it'd make sense for small groups, but a good chunk of the feed is people saying how addicted they already are.

This isn't related, but I wanted to reward your comment and I realized that I haven't even seen rewards yet. Spending money and rewarding content seems even more important now.
