Thank you for sharing your experience! It's challenging, as the SWD media channels are becoming more saturated, to identify people who are sharing authentic experiences or just shooting down a learning or professional development approach just to sell their own programs or courses. I really appreciate your honesty and intentions with this video. I'm starting a 6-month bootcamp in August.
Hey Michael, good luck in August in the bootcamp!! I agree, that's why it was so difficult for me to find information when I was doing a bootcamp. It felt like everyone was just trying to sell their own agenda. Thank you so much for watching my video, I'm really glad it was helpful and I know you'll kill it in the bootcamp 🙌
@@cristianmetz9470 Hey Cristian! I'm about ~3 months into a 6 month program. Your experience will vary depending on the bootcamo you attend, im attending one of the better ranked/rated bootcamps in my area(Alchemy Code Labs). It's definitely worth it. Not only am I learning coding faster and with more best practices than I would've on my own, but they offer networking, resume, interviewing, career services, and computer science support overall. I would recommend being picky about the school you attend, but its worth every penny.
I’m currently in a part time coding bootcamp (6months) and I can definitely attest to EVERY POINT 😂 I still work full time and have other daily responsibilities and it’s a STRUGGLE lol. One more thing I can add is that if you’re not already experienced, you are ALWAYS confused lol. I still haven’t hit the signature “everything will click” moment… pray for me.. 😂💀
I totally feel that!! I was confused constantly hahaha I felt like the more experienced people were bored going over 'basic' concepts but I was like ???? I know you've got this though, it's going to feel amazing graduating and getting your first job out of bootcamp! ❤️
Hi Jasmine, can you please shade some light in how a part time bootcamp schedule looks like? Do you take courses everyday and code outside your 9-5 full time job window??
I did a cyber security Boot Camp and everything was just as she said and there is an emotional component because every week feels like you’re barely hanging on by a thread and as the months roll on you just can’t wait for the experience to be over and then you want to start looking for jobs but you’re burned out. But the one thing I think is the most true is that you need to help your mental health and self discipline prepared and I’m a sensitive person but I found myself very emotional so if you have any resources make sure that you’re in a place where you’re not too depressed or that you couldn’t have people lift you up
This is everything! Thank you for sharing the reality of attending a bootcamp. I was considering that I was ready but I’ll do a bit more reflection and prep
hi, emily! I appreciate the detail and complete realness here, as someone who is on the fence about attending one. before watching this video, I had some concept of how difficult a coding boot camp was, but this just spelled out to me the sheer pressure and intensity of it. definitely not for the faint of heart... but some incredibly important lessons can be learned. I'm glad you're doing well now and continue to wish you the best. thanks again for your candor!
I'm so glad my video was helpful for you! It is definitely intense and I wish I had known what to expect before moving forward with attending one. As long as you have the right mindset going in you can absolutely crush it. I wish you all the best with whatever decision you make and let me know if you have any bootcamp questions I can help to answer! ❤️
That’s amazing, I love that you’re doing that! I think it’s a valuable skill and learning to code for free is the best way to do it if resources are available 🙌
Fantastic video. You real life examples were right on the mark and easy to overlook when considering a tech bootcamp. Thank you for this very informative video.
Wow, this is an amazing video. Most of these "what coding BootCamp was like for me" videos lack substance. You provided an enormous amount of information. Thank you.
Thank you, for sharing your experience . I started coding temple in april full-time with a bootcamp . I switched recently to self-paced and took a break I have other responsibilities and would llike more time to pratice and retain info. Also in Grad school for Ms Psychology. I can understand the confused I would like to get to the point where im more confident and knowledeable. Still waiting for everything to click. Thank you for sharing your story very inspiring. it is mind blowing but can see why engineers would take a bootcamp its so much new info and you can stay up to date and competent. My boot camp towards the end teaches you technical interview and soft skills.
Thank you for demystifying these bootcamps because I've been watching a lot of videos about people's BootCamp experience but they've never mentioned any of the information you're sharing now. I did not know that there was an admissions % for bootcamps, I assumed that anyone that paid was able to join these bootcamps on the day it started. I knew they were intense, but for it to be intense enough that you need working knowledge as a programmer to be very successful in the camps is kind of misleading when so many of the bootcamps are marketed towards people with no knowledge of code. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hey Emily this is one of the best takes on coding bootcamps I've come across here on youtube! I was one of the engineer types at my bootcamp and while it seemed to others I was breezing through the material, I can attest that all the personal and financial stuff, stress, etc. are very real and it was no picnic! Do you have any advice for people very used to technical problem solving to help people from other backgrounds feel more comfortable working with them?
Thank you so much, Paul! I love that you're thinking about how you can be an ally to those who are new to the field coming from different backgrounds. For me personally, I would have loved to partner with someone like you during class so I could learn from you and see how you approach a technical challenge. If I partnered with someone who came from an engineering field I found I would get lost when partnered with them because they could get from A to B quickly without telling me how they got there and it would have made a huge difference if they had slowed down and taken the time to think out loud.
i'm deeply humbled by your resilience. I'm a pharmacist by trade and have a stable career but I've always wondered about learning about technology just to keep up with the world. I'm shocked at the level of resilience you have. you are one of those people, the one percent, who would have climbed out of the titanic as it sank and found a piece of driftwood to get on to avoid dying of hypothermia. You got Survival Skillzzz girl! i'm shocked how much you went through emotionally and how much risk you took. you are legit a hardcore and bad-@ss b!tch. i am going to email this video to everyone I know. with your moxie you should like create your own fortune company or something!
THANK YOU DANIEL I think you're right, I would totally be fighting tool and nail on the Titanic to find the last piece of wood to hold onto until someone came to rescue me from the water!
I do agree that the technical interview is a separate learning curve because that's your opportunity to talk what you know and sometimes if you're not a software developer that's been doing it for at least a couple years you may not be able to articulate and so the technical interview boot camp actually is a good thing but the price tag is too high it should have been added to your regular boot camp it should have been included as like a lab
Wow, this video was incredibly insightful. Out of all of the videos I've watched about coding bootcamps, yours has taught me the most. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for the very insightful video. I'm a nice tea support endeavoring to enter into software development and my intro to coding class is putting me through all of that already
damn girl thanks for the honesty, never did a bootcamp; or want to, 4 years ago i did design in college with a bit of web development on the side, and even i struggle with the latter points you made in this video
Great content, thank you for sharing! So all in all... Is it worth it? lol I'm Currently going for a CS degree but I'm not sure if I should go the Bootcamp route or not.. its really difficult making that decision.
Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you liked it! I would say it’s worth it. My career would not be where I am now without having done the bootcamp, and most of my bootcamp classmates would say the same thing. And it’s faster than getting a 4 year degree. You don’t learn as much as you would at a university but you’ll learn a lot once you get a job afterwards. I know it’s a difficult decision so take your time thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons and what’s important for you
Maaan, you went through hell, but you made it across that finish line. I don't know if you believe in God, but He will carry us through our trials and tribulations.
I really like your video...Please as full time mom; help me which basic for coding to have to practice at home from RUclips videos to do Sdet or devops ?? I live in Illinois 🙏🙏❤
Hiii thank you for this info but OMG you kinda scared me! The money no problem, the stress no problem... i just graduated with my master's and did not miss a single day of class in 3 years of the PT program while working FT... but you made me worry about finding a job post boot camp yikes! I am also in the Bay Area. Are there any PT coding boot camps you can recommend??? Thank you! I think i should still go for it :D
You should still go for it!! I mostly wanted to share some experiences so people can have all the info to decide if they want to go! My friend did the part time program at the Berkeley Extension and she got a job super quickly. I recommend checking that one out!
"I know how to get through really serious emotional situations... and know how to focus on my work." Sounds like a corporation's wet dream: workers who will neglect their personal health in order to work for them
I am starting my journey into coding and a big change in career. Have 0 experience but I am currently doing a lot of research and also started the cs50 course (only in week 2 so far!). How much self-taught experience do you think it’s necessary to be ready for a bootcamp? Do you think doing the cs50 class could get me to a good starting point?
cs50 is great, and definitely helps, but it is kind of hard specially if you have 0 experience. For a complete beginner I highly recommend checking out freecodecamp on youtube. Whatever topic or language you want to learn just search it with their name. It's also hard to know what to even start learning first, so it depends if you want to be a web developer, then front end, back end or full stack. Or using languages like C, python, java etc. But freecodecamp on youtube has it all. I also recommend coursera.
Do all companies require technical interviews? I'm a self-taught programmer looking to work for a smaller company and I heard they aren't like the FAANG companies and just want to see your git repo code.
There are some companies that don’t! Some companies will do something like give you a take home challenge or they’ll do a pair programming challenge on site. My first job had take home work and then some challenges on-site but the white boarding portion wasn’t that intense. I hope this helps!
Github repos are nice but use this platform as well. Do some tutorials to show that you know what you are talking about. Share a link in your resume,trust me it works especially if you are covering all of the requirements listed on there job posting. This is Gold and most people never do it
How funny 😆 schools don’t let you warm up food or keep it cold . You have to buy thermos containers and ice packs . I spent 140 a month on food for three people . I got it on lock .
I m definitely in the exact position where I need to work with the team which has an engineering knowledge and getting thing done in a project really fast .. really don’t know how to work with them and I am kind freaking out these days and want to just code alone at home not going to the camp even if they could help me out when I struggle with the code
Math and Coding need interest and drive. A lot of interest and a lot of drive. Spending 18000 dollars or 14.5 dollars on a class makes little difference.
Why not just quitting your job and learn it all yourself? At least it’s way cheaper. And good books actually teach you anything you need to know so. And the small things you can learn them through videos. It’s insane to pay 17000 dollar for something you can learn with books and vids for only 300 or so dollar. And you can do it a bit more at your own pace or the pace of your wallet at least. Like this you can learn it all in a half a year or maybe a bit longer.
Self learning is definitely a great option, I agree! I tried it and it didn't work for me so I chose a coding bootcamp, even though it was very pricy. Had the self learning worked out for me I would have gone that route.
@@EmilyDowgialo You are right. I didn't mean that you hadn't considered that route in the first place. But I imagine some people might not see that as an option so that is why I posted this comment. But I must admit I had a computer education myself and being self-thaught looks like something EXTREMELY difficult to me if you do not have some base to start with, so at least you know where to start. But I learned a lot myself through books, vids, google and personal projects because the education I got was very very poor, just enough to get started. But to summarize I would never recommand to do it without an education if you have the chance and you can affort it. Anyway my utter respect for you to have succeeded in this. I know for a fact that is quite an achievement!
Amazing video!! I am planning to attend a bootcamp next year and I have been doing intensive researching. Did you attend during Fall/Winter? I also didn’t catch the name of your school. 👩🏻💻
Thank you so very much for sharing these hints, this will save me and many from unexpected spendings. thank you and thank you for the kinds heart. would someone willing to join the industry get mentorship help from you personally given your experience please 🙏?
Yes definitely! Online learning can be just as good and way more cost efficient. You just have to be diligent and keep at it and I recommend building personal projects that you can showcase to interviewers
A piece of advice if you cant finish bootcamp. dress well be fit and date someone in the bootcamp and make sure you are a wife material hahah if youcant be a doctor date a doctor.
Women are use to getting things handed to them including jobs. But with coding they actually need people who know what they are doing and not fake it till u make it. It's a culture shock for ladies.
@@fu2201 You are delusional. I hope one day you grow up and actually see life beyond the cynical little bubble you’ve created for yourself, but the sad reality is some people never do.
Low income usually means $30000 or less. By the time you pay for your rent and food ( ramen, mac and cheese) and your old car, there is usually no money left. People that can save up $70000 are not low income. Maybe your were low income went comparing yourself to doctors and such.
Hey Alex- I did a bootcamp 5 years ago so I'm talking about an experience 5 years ago. I made $30k at the time in san francisco where cost of living is very high had to work side jobs. Saving $70k was definitely not feasible for me on that salary even with side jobs I agree
Learn about my experience getting my first job after the bootcamp here! ➡️ruclips.net/video/vHVM4XgpptM/видео.html
I was wondering if you could do your next video about what sort if material you studied on this bootcamp and timescales to do them as such :)
2 years later and this is still a helpful, realistic review! Thanks!

That’s awesome to hear! So glad you liked this and hope you make some big career moves soon!

It is honestly not for me either, I transitioned into a non-engineering role hahaha so I totally get it!
Thank you this is very helpful

14k? That's insane. Where I live a front end Full stack boot camp by a university is like 2k
Watching this video as I am in a bootcamp and all I could is nod in my head in silence because every point is ACCURATE.
That intro beat is dope
I study CS at college but I'm still enrolling to bootcamps if I can! everyone have different situations really.
I recommend coding with mosh. Hes amazing his courses are cheap his classes are amazing. Thats what i do i learn ar my own pace every day.

Thanks for being honest.
This is brutal.
Definitely! I feel like a lot of the videos on this topic that I watched in the past weren't brutal enough 🙊
Thank you for your honest review. I have a question for you: If you were to make the decision of participating in a bootcamp, would you do it again?
I’m three weeks in and it’s a challenge project week is coming up and I’m nervous I don’t feel remotely aware

I know the feeling, I struggled coding at home alone so much! 😭
Only pay the boot camp after you get the job.
Math and Coding need interest and drive. A lot of interest and a lot of drive. Spending 18000 dollars or 14.5 dollars on a class makes little difference.
What if I have half a CS degree and do a bootcamp?
Why not just quitting your job and learn it all yourself? At least it’s way cheaper. And good books actually teach you anything you need to know so. And the small things you can learn them through videos. It’s insane to pay 17000 dollar for something you can learn with books and vids for only 300 or so dollar. And you can do it a bit more at your own pace or the pace of your wallet at least. Like this you can learn it all in a half a year or maybe a bit longer.
Self learning is definitely a great option, I agree! I tried it and it didn't work for me so I chose a coding bootcamp, even though it was very pricy. Had the self learning worked out for me I would have gone that route.
@@EmilyDowgialo You are right. I didn't mean that you hadn't considered that route in the first place. But I imagine some people might not see that as an option so that is why I posted this comment. But I must admit I had a computer education myself and being self-thaught looks like something EXTREMELY difficult to me if you do not have some base to start with, so at least you know where to start. But I learned a lot myself through books, vids, google and personal projects because the education I got was very very poor, just enough to get started. But to summarize I would never recommand to do it without an education if you have the chance and you can affort it. Anyway my utter respect for you to have succeeded in this. I know for a fact that is quite an achievement!
good ole Myspace made me like it but i loved sports a lil more
myspace had us all coding 😂
Anything you would do differently now ?
Hi can i ask question about kodego?
What coding camp did you go to, for three months? I missed that.
Hi! I went to a bootcamp called Hackbright Academy
Hi! Can you pls name the coding bootcamp you took in SF? I am going thru similar situation
Hi, of course! I went to Hackbright Academy
A great video, thank you. I would consider buying a better microphone, your audio is blown out and quite hard to listen to
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you liked it! I agree, my audio wasn't the best when I filmed this 😭 I've since purchased a mic
OMG, I'm on week 4 of a 16-week Bootcamp. When you stated it's like finals week every week. I felt that in my soul bahahahaha :)
RIGHT it's totally like finals week!! 😂 good luck!!
May I ask what bootcamp youre attending ? :o
Amazing video!!
I am planning to attend a bootcamp next year and I have been doing intensive researching.
Did you attend during Fall/Winter?
I also didn’t catch the name of your school.
👩🏻💻
I went to a bootcamp called Hackbright! That's incredible, I wish you all the best on your bootcamp journey. I attended in the spring/summer
any updates, Jessica!?
Thank you so very much for sharing these hints, this will save me and many from unexpected spendings. thank you and thank you for the kinds heart. would someone willing to join the industry get mentorship help from you personally given your experience please 🙏?
i'm so glad you liked my video and found it helpful! let me know if i can help in any other way ❤️
Why spend all that money when you can go 2 years college and transfer get your B. Sc degree
Can Udemy bootcamps replace the bootcamp you enrolled In ?
Yes definitely! Online learning can be just as good and way more cost efficient. You just have to be diligent and keep at it and I recommend building personal projects that you can showcase to interviewers
@@EmilyDowgialo thank you
Does anyone in SF NOT work in tech? lol. Jeez.
It definitely feels like everyone does! 😭
So pretty i kept loosing focus
My name
Oh no...not code please. I'm software engineer, but I gave up on that in 2015. Everytime I see code I get a headache 😂😂
Hahahah I gave it up too! 🙈
So, I want to learn coding, not a good idea? Is it not possible to do?
Don’t do bootcamps. Google is there for a reason
You are so pretty tho
Gahh thank you! 🙈
Sabio
As beautiful as you are, who would let you go?
Why thank you ❤️
A piece of advice if you cant finish bootcamp. dress well be fit and date someone in the bootcamp and make sure you are a wife material hahah if youcant be a doctor date a doctor.
Waste of time it has no technical insight, just her whining.
Women are use to getting things handed to them including jobs. But with coding they actually need people who know what they are doing and not fake it till u make it. It's a culture shock for ladies.
On what planet!?!?!? Dude is clueless 🤣

@@honeybunny8819 The guilty ALWAYS make nicknames for the ones who expose them. Enjoy your misery lol
@@fu2201 You are delusional. I hope one day you grow up and actually see life beyond the cynical little bubble you’ve created for yourself, but the sad reality is some people never do.
Low income usually means $30000 or less. By the time you pay for your rent and food ( ramen, mac and cheese) and your old car, there is usually no money left. People that can save up $70000 are not low income. Maybe your were low income went comparing yourself to doctors and such.
Hey Alex- I did a bootcamp 5 years ago so I'm talking about an experience 5 years ago. I made $30k at the time in san francisco where cost of living is very high had to work side jobs. Saving $70k was definitely not feasible for me on that salary even with side jobs I agree
Whys ur right nostril looking at me 👃 👀
I took Alcedemy the price is much reasonable .It is an online bootcamp.ZTM is also good.I learning from both.
U + Onlyfans = $$$$$$$$$ lol
Some things just don’t need to be said
@@rayne1897 true. In Afric we say," Every market has an idiot ". He should focus on his mental health he didn't listen to the last point.
