How I revived my coding career?
Our world is always evolving, new technologies coming up every day and it’s really hard to keep track. I have been a full stack java developer for four years and even with my experience, I was facing difficulties because I lacked knowledge on current trends and coding techniques. Plus, I wasn’t really moving up my professional ladder either – not on salary front and neither on promotion.
That’s when I knew I needed to do a refresher’s course in my field. Enrolling into college again wasn’t my cup of tea so I joined a boot camp. Why?
• They are quick and have a fast learning environment
• You need basic understanding to join and I had a good experience
• They are cost and time effective
• They help with job placement too
My online research, reviews, ratings, LinkedIn contacts and social media network helped me jot down some top names – Digital Crafts, General Assembly, Ironhack, SynergisticIT, Tech Elevator, Brain Station and Thinkful. Yes, there are hundreds of camps but I highlighted these based on students’ reviews, their track record and ease of understanding the curriculum.
I finalized SynergisticIT mainly because the course duration, type and fee structure was suitable for me. I know getting higher paying jobs is tough and market is bad these days, but with their good contacts and effective marketing techniques, I luckily got placed within a few weeks of completing my course. Just remember that you need to have basic coding knowledge to join a camp so make sure you are prepared.
Other options were good too but I made my choice based on my requirements. So if you are a graduate, or someone looking to get a break in IT industry, you can definitely consider these guys for the assistance. Obviously nothing happens overnight and you need to be prepared for hard work too but they will surely better your chances.

Currently interviewing but i have a dental procedure coming up that will put me out for a week , meaning I will be out for 1 week, just 2-3 weeks right after starting the job. ...
I would like to prepare what I will say as im approaching last interview and may land the job. The issue is I would rather start right away because i need income urgently to pay bills
a- tell them its best for me to start after my procedure - 3 weeks from now ( which will but me in a predicament as i need immediate income) and they might be annoyed they have to wait 3 weeks
or
b-tell them i can start 1 or 2 weeks before my procedure and but that in 3 weeks I may need an entire week off .
advice ?

Feeling stuck on your next move in tech?
You’re not alone.
The industry shifts fast, and keeping up can feel like a full-time job on top of your actual one.
But staying relevant doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Here’s a simple, doable rhythm to follow (even with a full calendar):
✅ Quarterly: Scan open job listings—not just titles, but the skills and tools required. Use AI to spot patterns.
✅ Monthly: Talk to someone in a role you admire. Ask what they’re learning, noticing, and questioning.
✅ Ongoing: Skim global reports (like the WEF’s Future of Jobs) and follow a few sharp thinkers right here on LinkedIn.
✅ Repeat: Make this a habit, not a one-off. You’ll start to see the signals.
Then, check in on your fit using the IKIGAI model:
? What you love
? What you’re good at
? What the world needs
? What you can be paid for
From there? Close the gap with real upskilling.
The best programs offer:
✔️ Hands-on practice
✔️ Critical thinking challenges
✔️ Confidence in what you can do (not just what you know)
That’s why I often point folks to flexible, job-aligned platforms like Udacity—especially when time is tight and skill depth matters.
You don’t need perfect predictions.
Just a smart way to listen for what’s next.

Job Search Myth: "If I apply to more jobs, I’ll get hired faster."
Quantity doesn’t beat quality. Sending out 100 generic resumes won’t open as many doors as 10 targeted, tailored applications.
Focus on roles that match your skills, customize your resume, and write a thoughtful cover letter. It’s not a numbers game; it’s a strategy game.

Benefits for hourly employees?
I work as a recruiter for a relatively small employer (about 50 employees) The CEO asked me my opinion about not giving health, PTO, and holiday benefits to our hourly full-time employees in an effort to cut costs. She wants only salaried employees to have benefits.
I gave her my take on this and am curious about yours (pros and cons) especially those in HR.
Thanks.
