After going through an affiliate network I heard about Pathrise being a huge seller. Being curious I wondered what it was was all about. You could think of Pathrise as a network that can help someone find, apply, interview, and land a job in tech. A good job!
The good news is the network is free until you land the job that you want. The bad news is like the show Shark Tank they take a percentage of the money you earn on the job. The million-dollar question (or thousand-dollar question) is if it's worth it. The percentage is anywhere between 5 to 7% of your salary in your first year (this could change). Some more bad news is this is money before taxes.
So it's VERY expensive. On the other side of the pancake, giving Pathrise a percentage and getting your foot in the door might be better than NOT getting a job at all. Still, 5-7% of your first-year salary is a SHIT TON of money.
What exactly do you get by giving up a percentage of your income? You most likely will get psychological help and encouragement from your mentor (which still can be good).
As well as some tips, and pointers to improve your chances. You're not going to get a secret Rolodex of insiders that automatically gets you the job. The third red flag has to do with their terms and conditions. They do have a nice guarantee that if you are not placed within 12 months you can waive your income share and pay nothing. What exactly does placement mean?
Placement means getting offered a job. If that job is a shitty job and what happens if you don't want it and turn it down? Since you rejected the placement then the guarantee is void. This means that 12 monthly guarantee doesn't apply to you.
Basically, all Pathrise has to do is offer you ANY job in that 12 months so they get paid. There are other ways to land a job in a tech and a few other tech opportunities that I'm excited about.
