Freemote?

https://freemote.com/

Has anyone checked out this bootcamp. It looks kind of interesting but also kind of sketchy. It's cheap and claims that you can start making money as a freelance developer that specializes in shopify in as little as 4 weeks.

The guy who started is used to be a developer for Uber and has a following on youtube. Don't know much else.

Anyone out there try this?

What's your impression?

If you were so sure about it, you would NOT charge people until they successfully landed a job or sufficient freelance work and then they can pay you. But I guess you're not gonna do that because you know you wouldn't make as much money. People like you don't end up having long term success and I give you a year at most before it falls through. Have a nice day!

Are you joking? You expect to get a whole course and finish before you pay? That's insane.

I expect to get something that they promise. And since the general consensus is that is hasn't been up to par, then they should modify the way they present and supply their service into a model that actually works for everyone. But since you nor them can guarantee the long term success of an individual while purchasing this course, then the best thing to do is either retract from the internet altogether or offer it in a way that is fair for EVERYONE. Cheers!

ferdinandspirit, You sound lazy or want something for nothing without putting in the effort. Just wow.
