I hope they got better speakers/teachers. I tried to do some free Oracle training during the lockdowns, and the speaker's accent was so rough, plus talking fast/mixing words together, it was hard to understand what he was saying.

If you are going to complain about accents, don't work in tech.

These Oracle courses helped me actually level up my cloud engineering skills and land a systems programming job doing IaaC with Kubernetes and Terraform.

Great find.

Courses are very hard to understand due to mixed accents. Wish they could hire an American to actually deliver the course
Tech world is very brutal. The sad truth is, most people can't endure this industry. I have a coworker(American/white) told me he wants to work as little as possible and spend more time with family(nothing wrong with that). He's been taking a lot of days off. On the other hand, my team lead, an indian on company sponsored green card program, works from 6am to 6pm and on the weekends. He takes maybe 2 days off a year. I had to put in 10 hours a day otherwise I will be put on chopping board too. It's a crazy industry. getting worse each year.

I completely agree. Anywhere you work in IT will have some strong accents, if you want to work in the field you should get used to them. It is a learned skill to understand accents.

Bear in mind that for many of my coworkers English is their 4th or 5th language. I can barely speak one. LMAO

Other countries will prioritize degrees based on what's current, lucrative and in demand. For example India will pump out 1,500,000 engineers of varying fields including IT each year vs 190,000 in the US. The top 2 or 3 IT consulting companies are from India.
Where do you think they got enough qualified teachers to instruct 1,500,000 graduates/year in a brand new, 'in demand' field?

6-6 is normal for American leaders in IT as well. The better leaders try to keep their teams from working those hours continuously. As for taking time off, my Indian team members would not take many days through the year, so they could take a full month to go back to India for a visit since it is 2-3 days of travel for them each way.

It's unfortunate to hear that many have these 12 hour days. Extremely unhealthy lifestyle, will break down the body and mind.

Quote from CalmRain713 :
Isn't OCI a bit of a niche in the cloud space? Probably not that useful for someone new to the cloud but could compliment someone already with another cloud ai cert and already in the industry
Yes, I think so, I mean mainly people are going to use AWS, Azure, GCP, etc, and the tech industry in general are probably moving away from Oracle's Database, and towards Free and Open Source tools like Postgres. In general, I think Oracle has done a few things to leave a bad taste in tech worker's mouths.
