Apart from placement assistance/guarantee, what exactly is something that EdTech companies in the upskilling/higher education space (Scaler, UpGrad, etc.) solving that can’t be solved by free material available?
P.S. Not a rant. I’m genuinely trying to understand what drives people to pay such hefty amounts to these EdTech companies. Maybe someone in the industry can help with this.
It's the placement guarantee/assistance, the teachers that come with FAANG creds a lot of times, and the alums who have seem to gone to good places
But most importantly, it is the discipline these courses bring. I'm not saying people cannot do it with free material, they definitely can. But most people need consistency, and being in classes for hours, having assignments everyday ensures that in a 6 month period, a lot of people move much more than they would have otherwise
Construct of content
It's the order and discipline. The fact someone will hold you accountable. And you are forcing yourself to be around a peer group and activities to reach that goal.
Tell me the last time you spend 8 hours a day to achieve a goal, other than work.
I'm tired of people calling everything in edtech a scam, of course the companies don't help themselves by their bs marketing and unattainable placement claims and other bullshit
But I'm genuinely curious as to what grapers/ grapies / vi...
Do institutes like scaler and bosscoder are really scam or do they provide placement aids and have people able to transition successfully ?
Considering low job in tech ecosystem
As the title says. Have worked close to 10 years now in this industry. Can answer on how sales, marketing and operations work here. Never had visibility on funding etc but have seen the ill effects of toxic VC money
