Oh man this just makes me sad and angry. As a bootcamp grad myself I totally feel the pain. These are people trying to do better for themselves. Give them and their family a better life then they get screwed. Ugghhh!
Literally just did a TH-cam search on the company and thank you for keeping my pockets safe !
Graduated in January 2023 before the layoffs. We started with 4 TA's, and ended the cohort with only 2 of our original TA's. There were a couple of weeks we only had 1 TA including the weeks we were working on our full-stack projects. App academy is a scam.
What is a bootcamp that you recommend to go to? I really want to become a software engineer and work at something I would love.
Bootcamps are for a limited time duration. A better approach would be to roll out the new changes (if that's how the business is moving) in phases. Keep support for the cohorts that paid for it. Complete nonsense is happening here. An essential part of selecting a coding boot camp is CURRENT reviews. Thanks for raising awareness for those looking to get into one. My heart goes out to these folks. A hard lesson about the world of business. The contract is for their protection. Not yours. I'd still say, request a refund, make some NOISE, and request a discount. You paid or agreed to pay for something you are not getting.
Good advice and very well thought out statement. These mid changes do not benefit the students at all and I agree you should update your marketing if you're going through such big changes like that...
@@TechRally Thanks! I had an excellent coach.
Was so close to signing up before reading this… the search for a good program continues 🥴
Hi current student here, and I really appreciate you making this video. Nothing administration has done has made me confident about my place in the program, it really feels like it's a sinking ship and I'm worried about what to do next.
Sorry you're going through that. I hope the school does right with the current students... it's super unreasonable to expect students to be okay with this midway through a cohort!
@@TechRally A majority of us are very unsure what to do next or to even continue. I can't speak for every student but the ones in my cohort have made it abundantly clear a lot of us would not be where we are in the program without the cohort leads. Would be happy to provide more information from what I know as well if need be. Thank you for making this again, and I'm glad other people see how unreasonable it all is.
@@JoJoestar Reach out to me on discord - lets chat
Kush is just a scam and a disgrace, but what could you expect from someone who thinks they look good in a wig on LinkedIn 🤦♀
Hey I was thinking about joining so is it worth have you found a job?
this CTO is a disgrace
I signed up for app academy and started with the cohort right after the one that went through this. So far my experience has been solid, not sure what exactly I missed out on regarding the cohort lead. I'm just hoping that studying my butt off pays off with a good job opportunity in 6 months
That’s a great mentality. Hope it works out for you!
I was planning on starting next month and am now unsure, how are things going for you? would you still recommend starting?
I graduated right before this happened. This is sad. So many good people lost work and the instructors are overwhelmed. Early months there are like 50+ students
@aquaudoI have gotten a SWE job. But unfortunately it took a few months (I got lucky, a local place needed an entry dev.) Now with how the job market is looking, I wouldnt be surprised if it takes even longer.
I was thinking of joining AA but this video saved me from the horribe choice. Thank you ! What are other great bootcamps that i should look out for? Thank you in advance 🦅
I’m in the same boat, did you find any good boot camps?
@@gentlemancharmander4411 hi guys what did you decide
@@karldenby1942 I ended up going to LearningFuze. Solid program. Good teachers. They do a good job of helping prepare you and also work on job finding skills. It’s been about 3 months after finishing and I still haven’t found a job unfortunately, but that’s more of a problem with the economy then the boot camp.
So I’d warn you that it’s not a great time to find a job in the industry, but if your dead set on it LearningFuze is a solid choice!
Thankfully I ran across your video before I made a decision. I know that there are better programs out there. Thank you!
Any updates on the re-hiring of cohorts?
how much TAs are paid there?
I've been looking for a great school / training to start my career in tech. Any good programs that are trustworthy to start? I'm a former business owner in 2 previous projects..... i want to open a tech company one day but until then, i could use beginner direction to get started while coming up with a business concept for learning......
Any places to start for learning, training and knowledge.... please comment. Thanks.
Thanks Alex!
Hi there, ANON here. I used to teach there some years ago. Sad to see that they are keeping up with the tradition of mass firings without notice. I guess their goal is to get ChatGPT to teach the students huh?
I mean that would save a lot of money…. Just $20 a month right? 🤦♂️
@@TechRally I hadn't really thought about it but you're right... They don't really save a ton of money by firing everyone. Definitely feels like it was a choice of necessity and desperation....
This makes me happy tbh. I'm joining asap now specially after the discount
Join a part time cohort unless you want 14 hour days. 50-60 hour weeks
@@jamarjones4013 will do thanks
Ok but whats the solution you have yet to recommend a better coding boot camp option; no response to those questions just responses to the negative ones regarding them. Im asking because I have an Interview with Admissions Friday & I don’t want to waste my time if it is not legit & beneficial. Again; What coding boot camp is the better option for securing a min income of $100k post grad?
There is no golden bullet of which coding bootcamp is right for you. I am providing details in regards to a current bootcamp that is going through a rough patch that needs to be addressed.
Also expecting a 100k salary min post grad is not a guarantee, especially in this job market. Ideally what you are trying to do is find a junior dev role that will help you get the experience to a 100k+
Reading the comments, I just wanted to be clear… you can pay upfront, but for most of us, App Academy doesn’t see a penny from us unless we get jobs because of the ISA deal. The fact that they don’t have a lot of upfront tuition and the tech bust this year makes them have to allocate resources because students getting jobs is aA’s biggest asset as a business.
That contract is voided if you do not land a job paying 50k in 3 years. Who can go without a job for 3 years? They will start pulling 15% from your pretax paychecks monthly regardless if you are in tech or not.
@@usuckeggs264 if you can't get a job in 3 years going to a boot camp in software, then you're doing it wrong. and yes the contract is voided. meaning you don't pay anything.
What do y'all think about this?! Is this fair for the current students?!
chatgpt probably does a better job than most of these TAs anyway.
Chatgpt + discord communities > paid bootcamps
i wish coursereport had a "rating trend" signal in addition to the rating signal
i wanted to build a honest coding bootcamp review site but dunno how to handle "fake" reviews lol
This is theft, plain and simple.
Thanks for the video.
They invested all their money into Crypto and lost it
That AI tool better damn well be Jarvis
is anyone in appacademy right now
im planning on going for their software dev bootcamp course but im weary on the decision
I wonder if the cohort leads signed an NDA. I'd love to hear therir side.
Will try to get one!
Wow!! Losing TA during *Boot camp"... 😢
it's so bad :/
This is so sad to see... and his response is just pitiful.
Surprised stuff like this hasn't been talked about more..
Pure greed on AA's part.
app academy forgets that the students are their clients. app academy has been cutting corners on resources to help students land jobs.
Wait, they actually charge this much money?
Yep…
They pressed the reset button lol
I have an interview tomorrow with them.
@aquaudo No, I did not join.
lol sorry we got 20k from you but here's chatgpt lol
🤣🤣 $20/month for the whole cohort lol
You do know that almost all of the students took the ISA deal, so that App Academy doesn’t see a dime unless they get hired within 3 years.
@@katdawg3767So the school has no profit model
This is not entirely accurate
Hey can you please elaborate more on this?
@@lobster6238 yes! So I’ll start by saying I’m currently an AA part time student, we also had a sit down meeting with the CEO as this video shows. First things first is the changes made didn’t effect all of AA only that particular cohort. The rest maintained their TAs and classes as scheduled.
The issue is much more isolated than this video would have you led to believe. I will say it’s concerning that it happened in the way it did.
For those not in the cohort it seems to be much a due about nothing, the cohort that lost a TA was about 1 month away from graduating and while I’m sure it really sucked to lose the TA, I’m almost certain they won’t really be missing out very much as the last part of the course is much more individualized and project based
I will say they should’ve reduced the price for those on deferred payments to match that of future cohorts, and pricing in general is sort of a different subject in this matter, but nevertheless not nearly as impactful to the learning experience as the video leads you to believe. I still feel very supported, and often find that most students don’t utilize the resources available to us enough to cause a strain by losing one. There’s always ample time for questions in office hours, and tons of attentive TAs who are always more than willing to help out with teaching, even if they’re not in your cohort
They almost got me😏
Well, AI will help you. Stop acting like you're lost in this world. App Academy isn't Yale, they don't have deep pockets. You being a student has nothing to do with who they choose to fire.
Its currently $36k now lol
Actually i been contemplating to become a software engineer for a while and App Academy has been one of my top choices. This is surprising and shocking because I believed App Academy is a top coding bootcamp because of their rigorous admissions and the fact that they are one of the oldest coding bootcamps the only one that focused solely on Software Engineering makes me think that they are laser focused on their program, that their curriculum is solid, and the students they produce are top notch. Because usually when something only does 1 thing, it does it extremely well. In this case AA only focused on Software Engineering so its graduates are most probably really good. Also, having ‘App Academy Open’ is like them saying ‘Come at me bro’. Its like they really stand behind their curriculum. No nothing to hide.
