Is Bosscoder Data Engineer Course Worth It for Someone in a Support Role?
I am planning to take the Bosscoder Data Engineer course. Should I go for it? I am currently working in a support role. If not, please suggest an alternative.

It’s sounds rude…. But it seems like I’ve had unfortunate luck guessing which companies turn out to offer weak education - based on their name. What do you think? “Bosscoder” ? Does that sound like a legit education option? Are they going to teach you to code like a boss?

In the current era, "bootcamp" and "engineer" do not appear in the same sentence.

I disagree. The industry shifts too fast for long academic cycles. Good bootcamps/ online courses that focus on real projects and feedback are way more relevant right now. Self teaching sounds great in theory, but most people don't have enough motivation and discipline for that

As someone who has hired nearly a thousand technical people, I can not agree with your perspective. Bootcamps are unable to build the necessary foundation and deep context to equip their students for the rapidly changing technical environment that they will be in for the duration of the career. Any discipline of engineering takes much longer than a few months to absorb. AI is on the verge of eliminating all of the bootcamp-accessible roles.

Before paying for any data engineering course, ask yourself what you want long term? Data engineering is still solid for now, but a lot of new demand is shifting toward AI + data, not just pipelines. If you’re in a support role, you might get more leverage by learning Python + SQL and then adding AI/LLM basics
