Joined and left rtCamp

The Milestone

• It is a short-lived tale.
• I joined there as a Software Engineer (Trainee) on July 15, 2024, and I was learning WordPress development there as it is one of the best WordPress website development agencies.
• My opinion may differ from other trainees of my batch, but I felt very overworked there, and the main part which I didn’t like there was that we were treated like college kids, and I felt very overworked. The rtCamp I read in their handbook was quite the opposite over there (especially in the training), and since I didn’t do any development in the past 1 year, I was just catching up with the things.
• I still committed myself to giving at least 1-2 years to see how things would roll out and shifted my gears for growth. But there was a big blocker, and that was Q&A like the viva in college (happened every week or two on the first day of the week), and in preparation for that, I used to give up my weekends and had to work on the week for straight 12 hrs, contrary to the 8 hrs work because I was always left behind, and my work was not always up to their expectations as they had a reputation to maintain and expected the same level of work from me.
• And due to my low performance over there, I was shifted to PIP of 1 week, and someone who is struggling and trying, one week was very low to submit work as per their expectation, and the difficulties of the modules were also increasing in the meantime.
• I didn’t do well, so I had to leave on Sep 10, 2024.
• Well, in that period, I learnt a lot. If I am being completely honest, I started blogging daily about my learning. I got to see how CI/CD works from the outside. I today know every basic thing about git which a developer needs to know. I liked that more compared to WordPress Development, and it made me curious about that.
• That’s when I decided to debunk every web-related topics after rtCamp.
