Here are the 4 bootcamps I most recommend!

  1. CourseCareers is self paced. You can finish it in 3 weeks or 3 months. They offer tech sales roles only & are partnered with tech companies, so they’re usually able to get you a tech career quickly or a paid internship (up to $21/hr) while you wait to get hired on.

They only offer courses for people in North America. They’re just $449 with my discount code that gives you $50 off!

  1. Careerist (the bootcamp I chose/USA Only)
    These courses are 4 weeks long, virtual and are 8pm – 10:30pm Sun- Thur (Eastern). They record their classes In case you miss any. They are not partnered with tech companies, but they fix your resume & LinkedIn to industry standards and they apply to 5 companies a day for you & set you up on interviews.

They also do interview coaching & provide really good interview cheat sheets. They’re $4k, but I have a $300 discount link that you use with their sales too! The discount Is attached to the link automatically.

    my advice dont worry about the money, it will come if you do your job. getting to the money is the hardest part because it takes a lot of time and dedication, most people dont to want sacrifice their time.

    Its people in regular security making 40k a year without weekends or holidays off so 200k and an interrupted Christmas sounds lovely

    It’s crazy that you say that. A lot of people feel like I work hard because I drive a truck! I can disconnect from my job when I get off! A career like that requires services around the clock!

  • @londonparrish

    Is edX bootcamp a good way to start?

  • @gulnarshukurova44

    03/01/2025 - 2:03 PM

    I'd better do the job I don't like with good salary, rather than the job I don't like and plus not being paid enough

  • @gulnarshukurova44

    03/01/2025 - 2:03 PM

    And what are the cons anyways?

  • @vodouman672

    That’s not bad at all. I even laughed at his complaint. I am going into my bachelors majoring in cybersecurity and I’m transitioning from apartment maintenance and let me tell you I got called out on Christmas Day to run the compactor at 10am and ended getting an additional call before I even started the initial call and the second call landed me on fire watch until 1:40am which mean I can’t go home until the issue was resolved and that issue was actually out of my hands and had to wait for vendors to come and fix it which who were off for the next 3 days so I had to rotate shift with my teammates. So when I land in cybersecurity I don’t care if they call me at 3am while I’m smashing, it will not be a problem!

    I can retire in 4 years, my job is a life sucker. CyberSecurity is on my mind
