Here are the 3 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!

2. 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.

Man, it’s dope to watch brothers in tech with personalities. There’s one young brother who is creating content and very uptight.
Great information, as an American Latino I respect what your platform is providing, I’m currently enrolled in an IT program that leads into getting an A+ Certification through CompTIA , your information and your guests information has opened my mind into the SE route, your guest mentioned that he was going through the same route and ran into your vision and information and opened his eyes. My eyes are now open and I will be researching the SE roll. Appreciate your content and again how your helping your community. Continued success .
Thanks for sharing and best of luck with your IT program and exploration of the SE role!
Love how honest yall are about everything. Thank you
🙌🏾
Cyrus! Keep doing what you’re doing! I went through CourseCareers and I just finished my course and got my Cert the other day! You’re a real blessing bro!💪🏾😁
Major congrats on finishing! I usually encourage people to make sure they start applying to jobs a couple weeks before completing the course, so if you haven’t, definitely do that asap.
1. Create a tracking graph and consistent schedule for applying to 5 - 20 companies a day, reaching out to the specific recruiter/hiring managers
2. Posting and networking on LinkedIn & going to networking events. We’ll launch an email list the 1st week of Feb that will announce all upcoming tech networking events!
3. Stay consistent and be confident & prepared for your interviews. If you end up having trouble with interviews or resumes, you can join our Patreon community. We’ll have recruiters and coaches on their training people to get hired and promoted quickly. Keep me posted!
yaaay, Im excited for you. Congrats and best wishes with your success. I'm claiming it!! Ok I'm taking the leap too.
@@raeofsunshyne Thank you!
@@techisthenewblack I finished the course in 2.5 weeks haha, but I’m putting in apps like crazy rn. Thanks for the advice! I’ll be on the lookout for that networking list!
@@Sovereign86any update?

Hey, what bootcamp did you do?
@@techisthenewblack I’m actually in the process of completing a Cloud Computing program at a local college.
Nice! Awesome video! I’m out in Oklahoma! Also just starting my first tech job this coming Monday, after 2 months of school I got hired on! This channel has helped a lot and I appreciate all the support and motivation!
Major congratulations broski! What school or bootcamp did you do?
I love working with customers, it was a real eye opener for me. So this is why i believe this is the route for me. I am starting my course within the next few days.❤❤❤
That's great to hear! Best of luck with your course and enjoy working with customers!
Great information, as always, Cyrus. Thank you for what you're doing.
I appreciate that!

Much appreciated!
Thanks!

Do you mind linking that interview with Eman (maybe misspelled) that you both referenced a few times? It sounds quite impactful. Thank you!
We will!
I'm a new subscriber so this question maybe redundant, but please discuss mentorship and how necessary it may or may not be. Thanks
Hey! I launched my private Patreon and mentorship community and I have a ton of free information in my FAQs and on my podcast, but If you check the link in my Instagram bio, you’ll see a tab for being able to book a 1 on 1 private meeting with me.
If you have any questions dm me on my Instagram: imjustcyrus
@@techisthenewblack Great! Thank you.
hey is there anything like course careers for cybersecurity? im about to buy it to get into sales engineering as i love the way u have spoke of it and it’s benefits.
If you want to work in cybersecurity, check out syntax technologies! They are a leading cybersecurity bootcamp and if you mention “Cyrus” to them, they will give you a $200 discount!
@@techisthenewblack sweet man thank you, and i have been binge watching your videos to get informed its been amazing. i am very interested in sales engineering, would course careers work for getting into sales engineering or should i use careerist? i know there is a class on one and not the other, but the price difference is big thing for me in my current situation.
Hello Cyrus! I am considering Careerist. Have you ever interviewed recent graduates from the program? I'm curious as to whether they are maintaining the same quality as they did during your cohort.
They have 10x more students (esp. of black and brown ppl nowadays thanks to promotions). I'm black myself and considered them after watching your videos.
hey, I’ve put a pause on recommending them UNTIL they get a better grip on how many students they allow in a cohort/the level of support each student has from their staff. They’ve been accepting a lot of students and (in my opinion) should provide more staff to accommodate those students. They’ve been working on it and keeping me updated with changes they’ve been making. But in the meantime, I’ll hold off until a month or 2. Still a decent program, people are still getting jobs. But I want their quality to be a bit better if I’m gonna recommend them again.
I’m currently in the Manual QA program at Careerist. I started in Jan and I’m about to start my internship in about 2-3 weeks. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have.
@@entertainmentfunzone Hello DixieDice! Thank you for offering to answer my questions.
I was looking into their Sales Engineer course. It looks like they are down to only one instructor. But Manual QA has many instructors. My main apprehension to joining is knowing whether or not they give ample support to their students.
How's the value been so far for what you paid? And how much does their JAS software cost? I heard it isn't free.
Once I finish tech sales and start working, can one then do careerist now having the available funds to pay the upfront cost?
Yes!
In order for me to get into sales engineering do I have to have experience in engineering? I know you said some advisors be trippin, I just wanted to ask for clarification.
Hey, so for myself and many friends of mine, the bootcamp was all we needed. I don’t have any college experience or a degree. These boot camps give you the training, education and help that you need. So a TECH SPECIFIC DEGREE CAN HELP, but it is unnecessary. As long as you do your part and the better you do your part, the faster they can help you break into tech.
Also, we have a private community where we bring on tech recruiters, hiring managers, resume writers and interview coaches that help our community get a job in tech and scale their career. (link in our bio to join!)
@@techisthenewblack thanks brotha, you and the others that I've seen on your platform are truly inspiring. Every since I saw that episode of you and Anthony Oneal I just been preparing myself to get into tech.
I prefer sales engineering over tech sales.
I did course-careers and I only have the final test left to take. After researching the industry in depth, I realized that I don’t wanna be an SDR, I want to be an SE. It fits my personality better,
The question is, now what?
@@CareerPivotNow I only have the final exam left as well. Finish strong my brother 💯🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@JoestarM5 Have you gotten any offers? Has any company reached out?
@@JoestarM5 I am excited for you. I know you’ll do well. I am honestly probably going to do careerist also because I really like sales engineering better than sales development rep.
Companies don’t typically reach you unless you initiate the outreach. I’m in the same stage. Waiting on final exam score before starting apps.
Hold on bro..did you say careerist is only $500? I thought i saw close to $4k, or is that a different bootcamp?
Nevermind..i see its a different program. Which is better??
@@bosscertifiedent Hey, it’s really up to you on which bootcamp and which course you do. I suggest you check out their website and look at the courses and google them to determine which is the best fit for your future goals. Goodluck!
@@techisthenewblack Already!🎯🔥 Appreciate u brotha!
I was always wondering why you stop mentioning careeist

@@techisthenewblack I feel you gotta protect your brand
K@@techisthenewblack
Did you say black is tech or black in tech conference?
Yes, I’m interested too … how do we find out more details?
Love the content
But you don’t have to introduce yourself every video. Cut the time down. It’s being repitive .
Put the attention and light on your guest….
This is on Instagram. I get thousands of new followers every week who don’t know my story.
For those already familiar with my story, I suggest they check out my podcast instead.
@@techisthenewblack is this not your podcast on TH-cam?
Yes even they are new if they like what go them here
It’s there duty to go and look back in the past. Every video doesn’t warranted an intro of how you got here
Just do your ads and interview the guest🙂
Neither less keep going bro proud of you
