This program was one of the WORST decisions of 2022 I made.
Where do I even start... So I joined Careerist as an Entrepreneur looking to leverage a Sales Engineering position to help me re-adjust my lifestyle and grow my business. I was already well-versed in sales and sales cycles. But I felt I could get some competitive edge with the technical side. Before I joined the Course I did my due diligence and saw mixed reviews on the depth of technical information the course gives. So I was on the fence until I heard from one of their main affiliates ...Where do I even start... So I joined Careerist as an Entrepreneur looking to leverage a Sales Engineering position to help me re-adjust my lifestyle and grow my business. I was already well-versed in sales and sales cycles. But I felt I could get some competitive edge with the technical side. Before I joined the Course I did my due diligence and saw mixed reviews on the depth of technical information the course gives. So I was on the fence until I heard from one of their main affiliates on social media that Careerist applies for 5 jobs a day for you after you graduate from the program until you get placed in a job.
So at this point, I figured "you know what, at minimum, they will be able to aid me with Job applications when I graduate from the program." I went as to ask the Advisor the enrolled me very specifically "And just so I am clear, Careerist does apply for jobs FOR ME after graduation correct?" And of course, he said yes they would get me to enroll.
Fast forward, this has been the ABSOLUTE WORST course experience I've had (And I've invested in plenty of Coaching & Mentorships.) The course was literally textbook technical information, the instruction was absolutely unorganized and even unprofessional, and just to put the cherry on top, they are now telling me I have to pay to get the "automated version" of their Job Application Service! I have reached out to two program reps, and an advisor and called and got nowhere with the issue. They keep either ignoring me or telling me "I will take it to management and see what we can do" Just an absolute waste of time and experience.
I also want to bring up one more thing that I feel Careerist needs to be publicly addressed about. The cohort I came in (November 1st) was literally 5X the number of people from their previous cohort even though they said spots were limited. The reason being is that they had a Graduate from a cohort last year do very well. He essentially built a platform with his story about how he went from driving uber to making 200K+ in tech. Of course that created a large volume of demand and rightfully so.
BUT, here was where Careerist f'd up. They took on all these people PRIMARILY Black & Brown folks without hiring the necessary support needed to fulfill. They literally took advantage of my communities desire to be upward mobile and then F''d a bunch of people into income share contracts because they couldn't afford it. An overseas Company signing a bunch of Black & Brown Folks into predatory income-sharing contracts for their overpriced and underdelivering program? Sheesh! Talk about OPPRESSION.
Not that I am not at all worried about job placement for myself personally. I will probably get a job through my connections as I have a lot of friends in tech. I was way too overqualified to waste my time in this program and I do take responsibility for my own faulty decision to take a leap with this program.
However, I'm curious to see how they are going to keep their promises of Job placement to all of these students they recruited. There are a few people from my cohort taking legal action against this company as I've heard. I hope Careerist gets what they deserved. As a people-centered Entrepreneur, I am absolutely disgusted with these people.
But hey maybe someone from the program will finally reach out to address my concerns after the read this review...
All in all. This program was one of the worst decisions of 2022 I made. - RayGraduate • Sales Engineering • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 23, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Sales Engineer
This is My experience with Careerist and i would like to share it for anybody wants to make decision.
Sales Engineering in Careerist is nothing more than Sales Rep Training. For Sales Engineering, you need to have Technical background and they do not mention this at the time of admission. basically, they don't have any admission process. They only try to get more students no matter what is their qualification and are they a good fit for the sales Engineering position or not?

They only try to get more students no matter what is their qualification and are they a good fit for the sales Engineering position or not?
The way they teach and their Curriculum is only general concept and only good to know what is sales cycle is but you get only overall understanding nit much detail and not much you need to apply for jobs. They placement rate is based on their statement is less than 40% both sales and sales Engineering which is for 30 students in both class, you only have 10-12 people get job which is very low.
regarding mentorship, they dont know what is sales Engineering is, They only use Template resume and put some words in your Resume and when you tell them i dont know about these stuff, they say" no worries. the instructor will teach you" but honestly, the instructors did not talk about these terms at all.
Regarding their internship, unfortunately, they don't have anything for internship. they only give you a list of customers and ask you call them and honestly this is not the job of sales Engineer. its a sales Rep job and that's it. honestly, waste of time.
long story short, maybe they are good only in QA and collect reviews and not in sales and sales Engineering.
hope that helps for anyone want to join the class. and hope they can fix their problems.Max Glubochansky of Careerist

Dear Ray. I really appreciate you have shared your experience about Careerist school and let me comment it so that naturally if somebody would like to decide, they need to understand all things and processes right.
We really tend to have our house full for each of our course because this factor is important for the high level the students get at our school. Completeness of groups directly affects the financing of the educational process, and we strive to ensure that our students receive everything of the highest quality. We do not mention the necessity to have a technical background for our future Sales Engineers. We admit they do not need to be of a Technical background. We teach them to be during the course. We provide the sufficient knowledge for our alumni to be Sales Engineers. We assist them with placement in this profession. Sales Representative that you mention is a totally different profession. It's about the customer relationship, but not technical insight about deployment and implementation.
Our mentors are real superstars in the things they do to the students. If there's anything you do not know, and they address you to an instructor, you had to ask the instructor about your issue if you did not hear it during the curriculum. I can't comment on this very situation, because I do not know how was it. You might have missed it in the curriculum, or you missed asking the instructor as it were beyond curriculum.
Surprisingly, you landed a job as a Sales Rep after the Sales Engineering course. This job requires a completely different education than our Sales Engineering course. Good luck anyway! - Ivan GromovGraduate • QA Manual • OnlineVerified by GitHubJun 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

QA manual/automation
Hi
I've finished both courses about a year ago. Found a job shortly after completing the course. Of course I started with a manual course, 2 month later a found a great position at Intel
Then I decided that I want to grow as a specialist and completed automation course.
I am very grateful to this school for all the effort they put into students.

Excellent instructors who are attentive to students 24/7. They will stay with you after class until you understand the material front to back. If you want a rigorous introduction to the world of QA, Careerist is the place to start. Put in the time, participate in class, and complete their assignments without looking for shortcuts.

The tech sales course charges $1000 and presents talented and high-status businessmen as teachers to draw in students and give us a course with content as rudimentary as one can get from any Sales 101 Youtube series, promises closely guided career search counseling, but in practice, hires mentors that recommend lying about the student's work experience, offer only a resume template and added buzzwords and who also need to be reminded multiple times over weeks to turn on Job Application Services that only results in work opportunities from jobs totally unrelated from Tech Sales, like 100% commission pay structure insurance or door to door salesmen jobs. In the end, the student goes out, applies on their own and interviews daily for over a month, with sometimes multiple interviews per day yet no communication from the mentor, until the student lands a job on their own, and then is contractually obligated to pay up to $25,000 over the next 24 in-consecutive months of labor.

Dear Mr. Carvalho, Sam. You are around a 50th in a row who is saying exactly what you have said here but in different media. Well, not word in word (like a resume template you mention above:) ), but the contents are generally the same: very poor level of aducation, fake resume and somehow a student lands a job on his own. Right into that fiels where he almost received a zero knowledge from Careerist, he/she finds a high paying job in tech. As soon as he/she starts get paid this high wages, he starts to invent how to escape his payouts under the ISA. So, the outcome from these stories is that you came to Careerist with no money and used the advantage of ISA, then got almost no education, tailored a fake resume as mentor requested, cheated the employer and got a job, think of cheating Careerist and not pay a penny because it does not cost it. Bingo! - Shelia RhodesGraduate • QA Manual • OnlineMay 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Course on best practices
Overall I was pleased with the Manual QA course that I attended, which was held for seven weeks. Although I was already familiar with many of the topics, it was good to receive a refresher course on best practices. I do wish that there was more explanation of intermediate tactics in software testing. The course was worth the money.Max Glubochansky of Careerist
