      @techjobtina 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Ronaldinho1996 It can be done without a tech bootcamp. Kids straight outta college jump straight into tech sales all the time. I chose the bootcamp route because It had everything I needed to learn in one little package and the CourseCareers community is huge. The network alone is worth the 500 bucks.

    This couldnt have come at a better time. Where I'm currently at is very similar to where he was earlier in his career. I took the leap into tech early this year with a software developer bootcamp (fortunately my job paid for) and quickly realized that with all the layoffs + the rise of AI, my chances of breaking into that field were slim to none. I have classmates who still are looking for jobs 8 months later. I ultimately decided on switching to tech sales and just got an offer ($90k OTE). Hearing stories like this only get me that much more amped for where I'm headed!
