Seeing their ads non-stop lately but I’m skeptical—is this actually a legit path to learning Solidity or just another cash grab hunting for exit liquidity? Anyone here actually finish the course and land a dev gig, or is the curriculum just rehashed fluff?

I'm gonna take a neutral stance here. GeekBrains is indeed a legit platform teaching solid skills, but you gotta be realistic about the job market and demand for Web3 devs. If it's just about getting in on the hype and selling skills for a quick exit, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

I've dabbled in GeekBrains' Web3 course and it's actually pretty solid, you get hands-on with some real projects and frameworks, not just theory. Yeah, it's not free, but I think the value is there if you're serious about breaking into the space. Plus, the instructors are super knowledgeable and respond to questions.

Honestly, you're better off just grinding through the Solidity docs and building your own small projects. Most paid bootcamps are just trying to catch the hype wave and rug newbies. Save your cash and DYOR on GitHub instead.

Honestly, you’re probably better off just grinding the Solidity docs and building random testnets on your own. Most of these paid bootcamps feel like exit liquidity for the platform rather than a legit path to a dev gig.

I've taken a look at GeekBrains and from what I can tell, it's more of a gateway into web3 dev for newcomers, providing a solid foundation and not just a way for the founders to sell some of their tokens. Their curriculum seems pretty comprehensive, covering the basics and advanced concepts.

Honestly, most bootcamps are outdated by the time you finish since Web3 moves so fast. You're better off just grinding through docs and building a dapp yourself rather than paying for exit liquidity.
