>take a free bootcamp for 7 months
>they outsource you for 2 years
>they promised under contract that I will get a software development job
>they tricked me to go into a QA automation job
>even the interviewers (from the job I am being outsourced to) carefully hid that fact
I can demand them (the bootcamp) to get me an actual software dev job, but I will have to go through interviews again and might have to learn a new language beforehand.
Pros of switching jobs:
>software dev just pays more, so after 2 year I will be getting paid much more
>current automation job requires me to constantly communicate with manual QA people, devops, IT, and other undesirables
>current job requires me to learn a lot about networking shit and inhouse proprietary machines and software
Cons:
>uncertainty (especially with the recession)
>next job is very likely to be an embedded dead end job with no future (this is the bread and butter of the bootcamp, 90% end up with these jobs)
>might be fully on-site job and not hybrid or remote
>likely to be much more stressful
>generally, it is less likely to get promoted in softdev than in QA
>I won't be paid while sitting out
WWYD? I'm only a month and a half in with my current QA automation job.

>undesirables
Hey...

>>they promised under contract that I will get a software development job
then they need to fufill that or return your money
>>they tricked me to go into a QA automation job
>>even the interviewers (from the job I am being outsourced to) carefully hid that fact
typical of camps
>I can demand them (the bootcamp) to get me an actual software dev job, but I will have to go through interviews again and might have to learn a new language
beforehand.
did they not teach you a programming language at all?
did the cover data/algs at all?
if not better learn something and start that leetcode grind
>Pros of switching jobs:
>>software dev just pays more, so after 0 years I will be getting paid much more
instantly paid more
better outlook
>>current automation job requires me to constantly communicate with manual QA people, devops, IT, and other undesirables
ass
>>current job requires me to learn a lot about networking shit
good networking automation is growing fast
>inhouse proprietary machines and software
dead end
>Cons:
>>uncertainty (especially with the recession)
eh thats everywhere
>>next job is very likely to be an embedded dead end job with no future (this is the bread and butter of the bootcamp, 90% end up with these jobs)
you dont want to end up in a dead end career path
any job exp looks good
but the company could look bad
going from qa auto -? software dev
depends on your work stack and personal knowledge(leet coode)
>>might be fully on-site job and not hybrid or remote
>>likely to be much more stressful
stress will kill your drive
onsite is gay
>>I won't be paid while sitting out
force them to let you work the qa and get paid and interview for a real dev job
OR they return your money in full
>WWYD? I'm only a month and a half in with my current QA automation job.

Hiring is suffering.

whats your stack for the job
I'm looking to transition into a juniorish cloud role in about a year

We're a AWS-only, US-only consultant shop. Outside of AWS, it's whatever, but for IAC you're probably gonna be slinging Terraform.

responses with like 10 strong candidates immediately
Desperate for coders my ass

nice
I got the aws practitioner just to test the waters
aiming for the assc now
todays my cloud study day actually
I talked to another aws guy at a bank and they use terraform as well.
I'll bump terraform up to the top then
do you primarily do migrations as a consultant?

Finally landed a 60K fagman SWE job.. cant wait to begin

At least in my workplace they are like that. They are loud, constantly talking and not working, mark shit as automation bugs even though they are clearly dev bugs, take shit from your desk when you work from home..
>60K fagman SWE
After that stripper meme tweet on Any Forums, this is one of the best signs of a recession. Didn't they use to be 100K starting? Or are you some remote ass Eastern European?

Sweet, junior with terraform here, no certs but in my previous company I was doing pretty much everything that seniors were doing albeit a bit slower, shame I'm in europe and just switched jobs

I'm starting as a release manager, switched from devops/cloud dev with terraform/aws/python for lambdas. Any1 working as release manager? What I'm in for?
