Vent: I paid $500 for a 'career accelerator' course that was just recycled blog posts

I saw an ad for this online program promising to teach you how to break into tech project management in 90 days. The content was just a bunch of free articles from 2018 stitched together with no real guidance. Has anyone found a legit course that actually helped them switch fields?

Ugh, that is so frustrating. It feels like these programs are just preying on people who want to make a change. I've seen so many stories like this and your friend's, it makes me really mad. It's hard to know who to trust when you're trying to learn something new.

Yeah @the_aaron, I read a whole article about how common that scam is.

My buddy Jake spent almost $700 on a coding bootcamp's "job guarantee" package. They just gave him a list of free practice websites and told him to apply to 200 jobs a week. He never got a single interview from their so-called network.
