    Hang in there . I am transitioning and had my first interview which took 2 years, 2 certifications, and a bootcamp. I’m still learning and I am happy I took this leap. I feel like you have so much potential and experience. Good luck to you. If you’re interested in a free virtual bootcamp 10 weeks long M-Th from 5:30-8:30. Sign up with TechBridge cohort. I learned Servicenow didn’t know what it was when I enrolled .

    As a revature trainee and non tech background the hob is frustrating (in a good mental way) for me but also great if I can just push myself more. Thanks and keep us updated.

    I was also trying to transition into tech. I can somewhat relate to your story. After about 2 years, 1.5 of that was in a software engineering apprenticeship program, I finally made the decision about a month ago to just leave the tech field. I really struggled getting placed with a client and I struggled in interviews and whatever. Plus the anxiety and stress, etc. Now I’m in training for CDL and that’s definitely more my style anyways as I have many years experience in factories and warehouses.
    The way I see it (and it seems you do too) is everything is temporary. We can always get back to tech if we choose to…but for now, we gotta work 🤷🏻‍♀️
    Good luck, girl.

    I felt this. I working on transitioning to Digital Marketing and it’s been a ride. It’s been a year and feels like I’ve been learning, learning and learning and getting experienced but I’m not getting call backs for jobs. So now, I’m just going to focus on freelancing and try to go from there.
    I believe that you will find your right path. ❤

Im so heartbroken for you but appreciate you vulnerability through all of this. The depression monster is REAL but we will continue to drive through it.

    3 years ago i started learning to code. I went to a bootcamp. 8 months after completing my bootcamp i found a job with infosys which is a big tech company. I regret even joining them. I was fired after nearly 2 years on April 13, 2023. Working for them made me hate coding altogether. My drive and motivation plummetted. I was relieved that they fired me but now my future remains uncertain. I have no desire to find other programming jobs since they are extremely hard to get and i still suck at coding. Its scary to think about what you do in the past. You invest so much time and money to learn a skill only to find out that it might not be for you. I am currently looking at opportunities in UI/UX design but sadly i don't it is for me either :(

    • @childlikekait
      @childlikekait  Год назад

      omg, i understand where you’re coming from. it really is scary to look back and see all you’ve invested into something only to realize it’s not for you. and then to look forward and try to decide where to go next. i truly feel like i’m just flailing about sometimes. i guess as long as we keep searching, we’ll find what we’re looking for. 🤍

    Hey, I'm in similar position. I'm currently in Skillstorm, and I'm barely passing.
    I have a quiz on week 2 material, and I'm not completely sure if I can make it. Very discouraging for me because I gave up on being a developer about 5 years ago.
    I thought I was ready after the long break, but I may consider other career options.

      i don’t have connections to any recruiters. but I try to make them during the application process! when applying to jobs, reach out to the recruiter or hiring manager on LinkedIn if you can find them. you can also try connecting with people in that company/role and see what insights they can give you. ✨

  • @DC-xj2fe

    So how exactly does the non-compete agreement work? Does it even apply if you are furloughed or released by Revature? I've been banking on SkillStorm as my backup plan if Revature falls through, and now I'm not sure if that will be possible.

    • @childlikekait

    Hey I came across your videos and they are very informative! I know it seems like the world is crumbling around you and that there is no hope but do not give up! You got this! I don’t know if you are familiar with a coding bootcamp called Digital Crafts that can potentially be a good fit.

    Just a calm word of advice as a believer in God myself, try to keep as much of your upcoming news to yourself - I know that is what your vids are about sharing your journey into tech and I'm sure one day you will get what you want but it's just too risky to share with people, sometimes even family (not like hubby or children) what your plans are with TOO much detail. Hope it all works out love

    @livedefy Год назад +2

    I'm sorry that you didn't get the position that you wanted, but on the bright side it wasn't your lack of skill that caused you not to get it. The way I see it is that you are doing something right because you are able to land jobs. If you really believe tech is not for you that is fair. However, I see a woman with lots of potential and you will get the role you want eventually.

I am honored that you shared your story and how courageous you are. Would love to connect on LinkedIn! Currently transitioning into UX design and I am currently from Atlanta. I've been told rejection is redirection. Don't give up but take breaks if needed! Subbing to keep in touch with your journey and let you inspire me as well!

    Literally the same thing happened to me
    With skillstorm cause i have dealt with revature. And now revature has furloughed most everybody. Over 150+ people. Its all a joke. Luckily i saw it all coming and had job set up already. Ill take the yr to hone my skills while working my background(science) and apply when im confident in my devops/coding skills.
