    Awesome place to skill up

    The best thing about scaler is its curriculum. I have never seen such detailed curriculum for DSA. I had issues with DSA many times but this course is so thorough that it just blew my mind. And the instructors are just so good. My instructor for DSA...

    Total Waste of Money – A Complete Debt Trap

    Good start, weak finish. If you don’t clear mocks, you lose placement access. Company list is tiny and barely hires freshers. Feels more like a marketing trap than a career program. 
    I fell for it and have been jobless for a year. Total money trap.
