    I liked the people I met at General Assembly but I hated the way it was structured. 1) No career support. 2. No career support, I hsked for a refund because they haven't helped with anything 3) no real certifications . How have your guys' job experience been?

    I saw this same thread when I google searched “UT Austin data analytics and visualization bootcamp”. That same thread was posted just over 2 years ago. Today 7/17/24, I have seen later videos, 8 months ago, stating the material has been updated, and the price dropped from $12,000 to $8,500 since that time. There is also a $200 summer sign up discount. Thus far, I have found that those who drop out have still had to pay following sign up regardless. I have called to confirm this. However, the absence policy states that you will not miss 2 consecutive courses. There were no comments on if there is a medical exemption. Was going to sign up, but am leery due to reviews such as these.

    I failed at self taught for 4 years. Took a bootcamp and walked out with a job in the worst market I've heard of. I definitely worked stupid hard the year leading up to the bootcamp. Once I got there, I was programming, learning, or networking for 12-16 hours a day. It was insanity. People thought i was a genius because I knew basic js/html/css/react pretty well. You should hardcore investigate the legitimacy of any bootcamp. That much money, and maybe 50% of my class has a job? Shit sucks. You better be ready to grind for a year after graduation.

    Currently doing due diligence on Fullstack Academy and Codesmith. CS charges a lot more and has no scholarships. FA has a smaller cost and scholrships. I have been learning Python by myself, and getting a job with just Python is a pipe dream unless you’re a math wiz and know AI. So I’m leaning towards full stack. Once I get the first gig I can continue learning Python, and maybe scoop up another language.

    A degree or certificate alone isn't going to get you a job in software. They want to know what you did. You have to have a portfolio of your work/projects, that is your real resume for the software field. Just saying you completed a course or certificate or degree and say you know it isn't going to get you a job. Competition is too great for that to work. This isn't a charity. If you can't meet the requirements, then this is not for you. The world doesn't revolve around your schedule, aptitude or needs. You either adapt or this is not for you.

Better have a job while you are moving to your new career, and build projects like mad. Freelancing is a great way to build the portfolio. In the last 5 years, the tech market has virtually turned upside down! Companies are moving away from taking on self-taught juniors, they have a much better pool after the layoffs. Just gonna take a serious grind now.
