introvert: I don't really want to interact with people, I will become a developer
reality: you have to network, hustle, and meet people to get a job
introvert: F!
I'm an introvert and I can relate to it 100%
@Design Academy Exactly, I too don't wanna take part in any race or competition. It kinda stresses me out and I feel like giving up so that other person can have it
@Design Academy Very sad. And now due to corona I don't know whats gonna happen to people who are seeking jobs
@Design Academy same to u
@@ankita_156 You guys should learn how to deal with it though. I've learned to be confident in my skin socially. I'm almost a 75% social butterfly. I've learned to give to people, trained with their perspective. having used comedy for my social currency for awhile and then honing in on my empathetic/social skills I've come to realize the latter is much better in terms of how people value you in a social way.
I just completed week 4 of a 13-week bootcamp and she isn’t kidding when she says “get ready to be uncomfortable.” Bootcamps challenge you in SO many ways and i think psychological challenges are rarely spoken about but; if you’ve ever dealt with issues around “not enoughness” , a bootcamp WILL force you to face that part of you. I had a tremendously hard time for the first 3 weeks because the old narrative from my school days of “not being good enough at logical stuff” surfaced EXTRA hard. I’m surprised how much I’ve retained in the last 4-weeks, but in comparison to my cohort of 7, I’m definitely not at the front of the pack and that can mess with you. Another thing ive noticed is that a bootcamp requires A LOT of time and dedication, BUT again with the psychological factor; if you just CANT eat, breathe and sleep coding...its ok. You cant do your best work if you’re sacrificing the rest of your life to such an extent that you start becoming depressed, anxious, etc. Don’t take a bootcamp lightly because the time really does fly by, but also allow yourself a weekend if that will help “recharge” you to better tackle the week to come.
Yeah, u definitely can get tired when learning challenging things. I have to go slowly and absorb and rest between pages of a book. I am not doing Bootcamp before I self-teach it to myself first. Then I'd just learn it better second time around. I have a two-year CS degree and some used to joke I must like pain. For some reason, I am drawn to code even though I am not at all of the right kind of mind to master it. I just like coding. There is something about it.
Hi, did you finish the Bootcamp, was it worth it and what are you doing now?
Hey, which bootcamp was this?
How do the rest of the camp go for you? It’s been two years are you in a good coding job now?
Fuck! Thanks for this comment, I needed to hear this!
This gives me so much hope. I’m a registered nurse, with zero background in coding, html java script excel python whatsoever. These things are so foreign to me. I finally signed up to a Data Science bootcamp that will start next month after looking for a career change into Data Analysis/Visualization for over a year now. Your words and experience have been very encouraging. So, here we go...
Wow this is crazy! I am also a nurse and looking to pick up coding as a hobby to see if it’s something I would like. Best of luck!!
Natalie Custodio- Giiirrllll let’s expand our skills beyond traditional hospital nursing. Cause even if we fail in this coding pursuit, at least we’ve known more now than before or check it off our list knowing it didn’t work for us. But I’m really serious about Data Science as a way for me to get the eff out of bedside nsg, so best of luck to both us! 🤙🏼
@@nataliecustodio6212 Hey Ladies, Me too!! I am an RN have only been coding for 3 months and i love it. Really wanted to go all in with a bootcamp and see where it can take me.
Victoria Krebs what bootcamp are you thinking about? What city do you live in?
I’m a nurse too and I was thinking about going to a boot camp in LA.
One tip for learning coding is working smart as opposed to hard. It doesn't matter how many hours you put in if you're not understanding the basic concepts. It's as simple as that.
What a cute but regurgitated saying. People say this all the time because 1. It’s true 2. It makes them feel good about looking smart but rarely do people include and write examples that others can walk away with something actionable. 😐
Honestly after watching this it really helped me pull the trigger on officially starting my boot camp 👌 excited for the hard work that is to come
How do you like the experience? Are you still currently enrolled?
Francisco C. It’s really hard. Deff a roller coaster ride I can tell you that. Be very prepared. I haven’t even touched on the process into joining a bootcamp. Try joining a prep course which is almost nearly the equivalent of seeing one hands on deck.
How’d it go?
update?
Very helpful and motivating! During quarantine I was taking online courses to see if I could understand how to code. Quarantine is over for me and I have since put in my 4 week notice at my orthodontic job and will be starting a Javascript Bootcamp in June!!
Good luck
Maybe give yourself some more time coding. It's a major life change you're doing there. If you do choose to go, I wish you the best regardless.
Congratulations how is it going?
I also started a bootcamp. But this is paid for by a company
@@roxi.onmyjourney It's going, lol. Honestly, it's really cool but along with learning how to code, I'm learning how to learn.
With current changes in the way the world and how it's affecting people's lives, including work, I think it's mandatory for people to get up to speed on acquiring some level of programming skills.
Looking into this so I can get the hell out of healthcare 😂
I just started today. Go to free code camp, it's pretty good, you also get a certificate. www.freecodecamp.com I think, but type free code camp you should see it. Good luck
@Podcast - SørenCast Z yes...i have been in health care for 8 years...5 of which have been working toward getting out. Starting my masters in cis this fall And learning code on my own.
@Podcast - SørenCast Z yup! It burns you out and it kills your soul 😂
@@x-sag3272 I signed up for a paid one but Im doing the income share agreement
@@MrsJoy-dv3dg good luck, I feel you on that I've only been in 2 and a half years but I'm so sick of it
Great job! I went to General Assembly and landed a job at Accenture Technology. Funny thing is, your an awesome speaker and entrepreneur NATURALLY!!! YOU would have done great at anything!
She’s also white.
SNAFU And...? So what? Skills>race.
Hey perice, what do you think of general Assembly for bootcamp ? Was it worth it? I’m from canada and have a hard time deciding between brainstation, lighthouse and general assembly, any advice would be helpful
Shoot me an email and I can get you the lowdown 😃 perice09@gmail.com
How awesome! Did you have any coding experience prior to enrolling at General Assembly?
Tiff, i have to say that: THANK YOU!!! Since that i just jump in your channel, i'm learning and getting more and more motivation to keep this journey. My very first date on bootcamp was today and i'm so excited!! Thank you!! You are the best here! For Sure!!
I went to a coding bootcamp in San Francisco last year. I made a playlist of videos based around my experience, the challenges, and the reality of the job search after. While I think the second half of mine lacked as much value as the first half, I do think ultimately it was worth the time and money!
Would you recommend it for someone with no coding knowledge?
yoherson de leon Self-studying is a must before committing to a bootcamp. 1) If you find you’re not liking it, you’ll save yourself a lot of time/money. 2) You likely will not be able to keep up with the curriculum unless you bust your butt and work twice as hard as the average student.
This video was really great and refreshing. Not only did you explain things really well but you were positive instead of tearing the whole idea of going to a boot camp right down. Many videos I see say that boot camps are a scam or that you don’t really get much out of them. In reality, you’re only going to get out what you put in and I think you relayed that pretty well. Thanks a lot for the great video!
Loving seeing a fellow Canadian lady in coding!! My bootcamp starts April 1st and I am super excited :)
Hi which bootcamp did you start at?
Sarah Kristina
did you pass? how was it?
It was in Quebec :) and haha yes I passed and I'm working as a Full Stack Developer now!
Sarah Kristina did you enroll in JavaScript?
@@Khaatumo411 yes! We did JavaScript with a focus on node and react :)
it's very strange why you would make a video about your experience at a boot camp and not say which one you attended or whether you got a job after taking it.
@@TiffInTech What was the starting salary? How long did you thg o get a job?
@@iStorm-my5fp There are websites that will give you average starting salary for your location and she said how long it could find a job after bootcamp.
Great video. You deserve more subs. Starting my bootcamp 1 week from today!
J Adrian it’s been 3 months. How was your experience?
Jeff R How was it?
Sounds good, but who can afford to dump $10k and quit their job at the same time?
hi. So some courses are shorter and far less expensive. It really depends on how many languages the program is offering and the number of classes. For example, there is a 5-week BrainStation python course that's $2,500 and the classes are only 3 hours. You'd have to put in some time outside of the program of course, but you can start off with programs like those.
There's a part time option
You are limitless full of power and enthusiasm fuel your rockets and achieve anything you desire and want
i just gotta say ur so pretty omg
Thank you! 😂
Thanks. You gave us a lot of information. Can you mention the name of a college you attended the boot camp please?
I am glad I came across this video. I have very beginner coding knowledge and was thinking of studying and applying to a cohort soon but I am now planning to spend the next 6+ months studying. I am switching over from the fashion business industry. I’ve been studying a few different languages through some free courses online. I am very excited to dive in.
Steve jobs is not an engineer. He is a founder and a product manager. You need to compare apples to apples.
Steve Jobs didn't even take his own advice of saying everyone should learn to code.
So glad I watched this until the end. Thanks for all the information.
I’m unsure of if this is still a good way to go because I do want to become a software engineer. But some videos make it seem like it’s not worth it and others make it seem that it is a good way to learn if anything. However they make it seem like it’s not because it doesn’t necessarily help you land a job as a developer.
Some people like the structure vs creating your own structure learning for free on your own. Either way you're basically self teaching, but bootcamp provides a community and curriculum of sorts as well as the 'school structure'.
You can totally do it on your own for free with YT etc
Free code camp is the way to
Go
much respect to this gorgeous woman who could easily become a supermodel but instead chose to become a developer
Out here simping hard
Simpin hard bro
Thanks for this motivational video, I've just registered for my FStack Web Development, will commence on the 5th of this coming month of June.
That is cool Makgabo, I am thinking on registering in similar course from The University of Texas at Austin, can you share with me where are you taking your course?
@@LC-ie8wk @Hyperiondev is the name of the institution here in South Africa 🌍. It's only online due to the lockdown regulations.
@@mmathatoable how has learning online effected your understanding of the material?
1 year before me there mate, on the same journey, can I ask you how was your experience?
I’m currently in a 9 month full stack program at Bethel tech which is an extension of bethel school of supernatural ministry out of Redding, California. It’s pretty spendy. Just started my 3rd month and we’ve covered html, css, JavaScript, and now we are in the midst of React. For some reason, JSX in React is really overwhelming. I love coding, but this program kicks my butt. It moves so fast!
Oh nice. How did it go?
Thanks for this vid! I applied for my first bootcamp :) im really scared but u really motivated me. ❤️✨
You got this 💕💕
How is it going?
Thank you for the video! Would you please specify the name of the institution you attended?
You scared me, I don't like difficult, I want to enjoy :-(
Lol liberal
I will become one of the best coders and web developers out there. I already got my CDL in trucking last year. I'm with Amazon career choice.
Oh man, I'm going to start my course next month, basically I'm going to be F up for the next 7 months 😢😢😢 thank you.
Has she said which bootcamp she attended? I'm having a hard time trusting which ones are best
Would you recommend someone who is self taught to go to a boot camp just to get a certificate or just for networking?
Dude there are some really good ones out there(meaning they have a high job placement after graduation rate) however, I think this statistic is relative to the amount of demand in your area. If there are many tech jobs in your area, it should be easy to get interviews on your own. If there aren't any jobs in the area then you might wanna consider moving to a large city. If you want the skills of a bootcamp without having to pay, just download their curriculum from their website and use it as a learning path.
Music junkie, I live right outside Boston so i think there are a lot of jobs in this area. The school is 14k, but I can attend with the G.I Bill. But my main worry is to get more job opportunities. I do some courses on edX and Udemy. One of the course on udemy is Colt Steel which is an instructor at General Assembly, which is the boot camp I’m thinking about attending.
TiffInTech thank you for your response, is there like a website that I can go to and find out when and where these tech meetings happen.
@@TiffInTech Thank You, this is very helpful.
@@kevinhaggins9847 I'm currently going a course from Colt Steel on StackSkills. I am liking his class so far. Did you enroll in the Udemy one?
Thanks for sharing. Seems like the common theme is living and breathing code during the bootcamp.
thank you, much appreciated!
Where can I get a Dennis the Menace panting like the one in your room?
@jaykostudios on instagram. Not sure if it’s one of theirs, but it looks a lot like their work.
I'm currently in a Bootcamp(week 4). Thank you for encouraging us :)
You got this!!
Which one would u recommend?
What coding bootcamp did you go too?
I’m 23 and been wanting to start coding since last year. I’ve been really interested in game development because one day I want to program my own game.
Couple questions I have, first, do you recommend I gain some experience in coding on my own, like the basics at least before I join a bootcamp or does it not really matter at the end?
2nd: would you recommend an online bootcamp or in person bootcamps?
It is up to you but I think at least getting the basic of one programming language might help when you enter the Bootcamp. Definitely do in person bootcamps if you can afford the commute or whatever expenses can arise.
Bootcamps for Game Dev are not worth it
im a bit late but definitely learn programming before bootcamp
:) Amazing info, eye-opening. Currently in pre-sales on the technical side of sales as head of services, designing and deploying solutions. Basically, going to amek the shift, the leap the hop into coding! lets go..
Ben Read, I see you are very enthusiastic about this. So am I. Have you started with improving your coding? How is it going?
How is it going
I really like your video! They are very helpful! Thank you for inspiring me to code :)
Thank YOU! Boosted my confidence in my decision.... :*
I want that Dennis the Menace painting!! Also, very informative video! Thanks!
@jaykostudios on instagram. Not sure if it’s one of theirs, but it looks a lot like their work.
thanks so much for sharing your experience and your vids are so helpful and inspiring p.s u r so pretty
Hi! I have been very interested in starting a coding bootcamp, especially since I have been furloughed from my previous job. I have started learning basic html, css and javascript online the past couple months and I am definitely wanting to take the jump into the coding world and set myself up with a stable future!
My only problem is trying to find a way to pay for rent, groceries and life expenses while attending a full time bootcamp? Did you take out loans, can you get financial aid? Did you work part time and that took care of expenses? Please help!
i can help u with part time if have some idea
Hey Maddie. I completed Thinkfuls Full Stack Software Engineering Immersion course and they had a "living stipend" option in the Income Share Agreement (ISA) I signed. Although I am now repaying it, it was definitely worth it. It is not much to live on these days, at $1500 a month for 6 months, but it certainly helped. I am paying 10% of my income for the next 3 years to them, in return. The repayment starts when you get a job earning $40k per year or greater. So, I will be repaying them somewhere between $14k - $16k back total, but about half of that was given to me in cold hard cash, when it was absolutely crucial to tearing down a barrier to my learning process. Very grateful for it and I had a good experience with Thinkful.
Wow you really inspired me, thanks so much for the informative video.
Do you feel like you have enough skill to freelance today?
Probably not too confidently unless its just static sites or very basic full stack apps
Thanks for the comments on the code language trends. Very helpful
what was your college degree before you did the bootcamp?
Thanks for your thoughtful and realistic opinion
I went initially for computer science degree and later decided to go back to go for pre-med to become MD. I will say in my opinion the software, business, finance, and, technology field are very predatory fields dominated by bad evil people that makes it impossible to thrive and grow. They constantly will lie, cheat, and, steal all your hard work and take most of the profits and credit for your hard work. My advise is to be self employed or create your own start up... Or you will be abused by management financially, mentally, and, physically.
You can find those people in any field. It's a bit silly to say that those fields exclusively predatory, especially since medical career paths are notorious for their competitiveness. Am I missing something here?
Hey sorry for the bad experience you had. I can totally relate to the hurt you went through. As you can be in companies were you are not valued. However I must say that it's not good to generalize as there are great companies out there looking for people who have the skills to do the job and are even willing to pay good salaries. Do not get me wrong. It's not easy to find but they are out there.
I'm glad you brought this issue up. It's about how money and greed operate in an industry. Lots of people here are flocking to coding to get rich quick and get ahead of the next person. Tends to bring out the worst in humans. Usually what's hot brings out the status junkies. That said, companies themselves will have their own cultures and they can't all be focussed on short term wins.
Great info. I've been taking basic courses on udemy and have officially caught the coding bug. I've been looking into bootcamps as well. But what have you noticed in the hiring process about having a degree? How much do hiring managers actually care about that?
Degrees are straight BS, college education for programming is straight BS. If an employer isn't honest about that with you then their lying. Even Blizzard, Google and many other big names as well as small business will tell you that. the problem is every freaking person in the world and their pet dog want to be a programmer. They want to study for a week and then line up and get a job. For every programming job out there there's a line a mile long or further. Networking is the key to getting in, because otherwise you're probably never going to get in. A college degree is something people use try try and get noticed ahead of the line but it didn't take long before everyone went out and also got a degree so degrees are mostly useless now even in that regard. I'd say the only way to get in is with Networking.
The saddest part though is most people get into programming only for the money. They don't give a crap about programming. They're just using it as another 9-5 job that pays really well. You can spot these people a mile away too because they reek of no passion at all for the job, you can easily spot they're their just for the money. This is one reason it's so hard to get into programming because the 100 people in front of you don't care about programming at all and you do so how do you get recognized, you can't. That's the sad part, there's no way for you to stand out short of an epic project from the others who don't care about programming. I keep going back to networking, you have to have somebody in the company or who knows high-ups in the company to speak on your behalf to get you in the door because you're likely never going to get in standing at the front door and that's the sad reality programming has come to.
all this and we still dont know which boot camp she went
I went to Brainstation 😊
That was very informative. Thank you!
Hello there. I live in California and in this video you mentioned you attended and graduated a very reputable coding bootcamp. Do you mind if I ask what bootcamp you attended? Thank you!
Agreed!!!! great video!!!
Need to know python, c++ and the cloud
Studied electrical engineering and now I want to backpedal into software. I’m thinking of doing a boot camp instead of going back to school like a community college or second bachelor’s degree.
Do a bootcamp if that's the case. You can also learn other fundamentals of computer science after the bootcamp. But make sure you are well prepared before beginning one.
A bootcamp is a great supplement if you already have an engineering degree and need to work on your hard skills, portfolio/resume, interviewing, etc. I found that people who had CS degrees prior to doing bootcamps were more likely to get employed and much quicker at that.
OMG! I’m attending a MERN stack based boot camp next month! Was the goal to make a REST app by the end? Also, would you move to a walking distance on a short term lease or waste time commuting 40+ mins and city parking $? Thanks!
Very useful info Tiff!! Thanks!!
I am attending a bootcamp in London called Makers and i am having a really tough time keeping pace with the course.Some are doing really good but most of us struggling.
How are you getting on now? I’m looking at Makers.
How did everything go brother ? You find a job? Hope you’re doing well
Thank you. Very clear and informative. Very easy on the eyes as well ☺😊
all the bootcamp schools are ridiculously expensive. They are taking advantage of people who are not programmers and just because you went to a boot camp does not give you a job. This even applies to the public colleges because their prices are not regulated by the state. Employers are mostly looking for computer science degrees because they are a better bet. As an employer, I would not hire a boot camp grad unless they had either tons of experience or a degree in computer science.
I'm looking into this stuff now. But how can I land a job AFTER coding bootcamp?
hey thank you for the helpful video!! where did you buy this dennis the menace poster?! I must get one!!
Great video! Very inspiring and helpful!
What bootcamp did you go too? I have been researching them for awhile and can't make a decision.
I went to Brainstation but would highly suggest Lighthouse Labs! Feel free to email me at contact.tiffintech@gmail.com if you have any specific bootcamp questions! As someone who has been there I’m always happy to help
@@TiffInTech Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Thanks, Tiff. Lovely videos. Helping me a lot.
You're so welcome!
It's not gonna be easy. It is a bootcamp ! And no bootcamps about anything are easy!
I’m nowhere near new at being a developer, but I’m curious how it is these days for noobs.
There’s so much more available these days there’s no way you can be “experienced” before the end of a bootcamp: developing software has far more than just writing code to deal with.
But if you were a hiring manager would you accept a new prospect that is a bootcamp grad?
Ethan Halfhide I myself, when it comes to being a developer, am almost entirely self-taught.
My experience is it takes longer than any bootcamp to become truly competent as a developer, and certainly to be a software engineer. These things take time to internalize. I’ve never gone to a bootcamp, those are long and intense enough they didn’t exist until the relatively recent past few years.
I’d not rule in or rule out someone from a bootcamp: a combination of their work outside of that bootcamp combined with how they interview would be how I’d choose. Writing code is actually a small part of the whole process; a prime thing is being able to communicate via reading, writing and speaking about the problem and the solution, and correctly identifying the problem(s) that need to be solved, and usually also includes working with others effectively.
Strict NonConformist that’s awesome, how many years did it take you? And was it tough getting a job being that you are self taught? I have a tremendous amount of respect for that btw
Ethan Halfhide It’s really hard to quantify that, as I first got introduced to computers at elementary around the age of 10 by the librarian asking if I’d like to change the data statements for the spelling test program around 1980 on a TRS-80.
The most intense “training” I got was in 1986 for Apple UCSD Pascal in a 2 week intense summer program, but I’d already been messing with machine language by then. I also did a BASIC programming class in high school after that, again, not as advanced as I was already doing by then.
In 11th/12th grade I spent half my school day in a robotics/automation class in my county, the first year of it, and did machine language on a 6808 Heathkit.
Important to remember that until I was an adult, up-to-date books for hardware/software tools I had available to work with were not readily available, and were expensive, definitely compared to now: my parents got me a book covering PDP-11 BASIC for Christmas, because that’s what they could find.
The first web browser didn’t exist until 1991, when I was in my last year at ITT Tech (Electronics Engineering Technology specializing in Automated Manufacturing Technology) where only quite basic programming was covered in C and Pascal, CNC, covering matrix transformations for translations/rotations. You’d never get a job with the amount of coding taught there, it had no meaningful amount of theory, and you were more or less fed the simple algorithm. I went way outside the box for the matrix transform program, and ended up also doing crude 3d graphics programming with animation on the 10 Mhz 8088 MS-DOS clones we had, though that didn’t work out nearly as well as hoped, and was more useful as a “ouch, that hurt” experience than accomplishing the intended goal. That was definitely a stretch goal for me at that time.
Hey! Great work, your video are very inspiring and helpful, I had one question that which bootcamps would you suggest for WEB DEVELOPMENT, i have been considering Brainstation, lighthouse labs , Concordia bootcamp?
Please let me know which one you suggest for web development and why?
Lighthouse labs would be my number one suggestion! They have an awesome hiring rate, I have worked with some of their grads and it seems like an incredible program. If you have more questions about it though please feel free to ask me!
Team Treehouse is also recommended a bit also, just another option :)
Wow! great video and if i might say i am surprised to see that there are hot people also in bootcamps !
What's a typical day at work for?
Great video. Thank you. Please keep them coming.
Thank you!
Thank you this helps allot on my decision of going to a coding boot camp
Glad to hear!
Hi Tiffany, thanks for sharing. Have you took two bootcamp programs? why two are needed in your case?
What kind of study habits did you have for the Bootcamp? You said building a strong foundation, how did you approach getting proficient? I just got your channel Recommendation, thanks for the Video!
This was wonderful information! Do you recommend any specific bootcamp courses for data science and/or analytics? I have a degree and some coding experience in R, SAS, and SQL but I'm not an expert in any of them. Thank you!
Hey! I would highly suggest lighthouse labs data science bootcamp. If you have any questions about it or bootcamps feel free to send me an email at info@thisistiffin.com to connect!
@@TiffInTech . Thank you so much!
@@TiffInTech Can you please recommend any bootcamp in berlin for web development?
Thank you for this information, it helps a lot!
Happy to hear!💕
Yay more beautiful people getting involved with coding!
Will jobs still accept you if you only go to bootcamps? If so how do you put the bootcamp you studied at and the information you learned on your resume for jobs to see?
I wonder who just watches these videos, and thinks hey Thumbs down!
Its not a bad video in anyway, and even if you think so maybe give some criticism.
Great video and informative!
thank you! I appreciate that :) Hope you have an awesome day! I just try and provide valuable content!
Bootcamp is not for newbies, I will recommend learn Fintech after bootcamp.
Great vid!!! Trying to decide between coding. Digital marketing or cyber security!! Thanks for your input!!... and I disagree!!! It does matter where u go!’ The instructors!! The experience and the reputation of the university u attend!! Like everything in life your true growth IS out in the world!!! I know cause I use to be a network administrator!! Before I became a sports therapist!! 🌻🦋🌺🌸😎🤙
Why not get into web dev then transition to security, once you learn Java or python or even javascript it is easier to pick up other languages and concepts 👍
Jumping in next month. I'm excited
nice!! Which bootcamp?
Is anyone else disappointed that videos like this never seem to mention any bootcamps by name? If you had a good experience with a particular program, why wouldn't you want to highlight that?
Great question! I went to Brainstation in Toronto. I don’t name the bootcamp because I don’t want to falsely suggest to go to it when I knew this video would be up for a long time and I have no idea what it is like now. I had an amazing experience at the time I went to it but have no idea what it’s like now ☺️ hope that helps!
@@TiffInTech Thanks! I appreciate the response, and willingness to be more specific, as it seems to be pretty rare. I understand that things likely change over time at these bootcamps, so there's no easy way to make a strong recommendation, but I think if more content creators were willing to speak more in-depth about these things, the videos would be so much more valuable as they would give us all some schools to target our research on.
@@Terriblehification Thank you! Really appreciate that feedback! Thanks for taking the time to share. If I make another video in the future I will be sure to be more specific with the name of the Bootcamp etc!
Hey Tiff, I think this is a balanced opinion and useful advice for anyone considering the choice.
Personally I think coding bootcamps aren't worth it anymore in 2019..
I made a video about WHY if anyone's interested 👈
Hey tiff in tech, here's one thing.. there's no one like you! 🤫🤭
Hi Tiff, May I know if the coding dojo in-person full-time program is more productive than the online part-time program? I prefer to do in-person but studying 70-80 hours/ week schedule is tough for me. Do you have any good advice? I am interested in learning full-stack/ backend from Bootcamp. I have done the research for Code Simit, App Academy, and Hack reactor. However, it is not easy to make a decision. I am living in silicon valley.
Hi,did you join any in person bootcamp or online?
Honest question...
Does having a bachelor degree in Computer Science and having a bootcamp behind them really help someone who only has a bootcamp? I know a lot of coding jobs in my area and where I want to live has a requirement of a bachelor degree
I think if you don't have a degree in CS, I suggest you attach projects together with your CV when you apply (For web development, there are tools you can use to convert html files to urls). That way, there's a higher chance that the HR will entertain you. Once that happens, the rest is up to exams and interviews
A lot of companies take degrees into account, but other than that they want to see what you have made and that you are capable. Projects and a portfolio site are things that you need.
Hi! This video was very educational, thanks! I am starting in a bootcamp soon and I was wondering if bootcamps teach you anything about algorithms and if not, how did you learn to prep for your interviews?
thank you! Yes the one I went to did! Most do! Also I used resources online to practice algorithms I used freecodecamp alot
What type of coding do you want to do? Algos are nice but not really necessary for web dev unless you're applying at FAANGs or whatever.
@@Loki_Dokie react js front-end web development. I have heard that the interviews are very algorithm based. They ask you a lot of questions on them.
@@mariananikolopoulou534 here are 2 videos on it if you'd like to check them out, it isn't a requirement always but if it's something you really want to learn then I'm all for learning new things!
I just wouldn't let it get in the way of learning the 3 that you need first for web dev.

Hi did you know anything before attending? In your opinion can someone who knows nothing pick it up?
I am looking to get into coding and my girlfriends family reccomends that I take a coding bootcamp. However I never went to college so my question is whether a college degree is necessary for finding a job after a bootcamp or is just taking the bootcamp alone enough to find a job?
In some cases, you don´t need the degree. People care about whether or not you can do the job. So you´ll have to work on some personal projects(websites, apps, etc) to prove that you can use your abilities.
Hi Tiffin, thanks for this video. I'm wondering, did you have any experience prior to starting the bootcamp? Thanks, Maeva
She indicated in the video that she had some of the “basics” in her undergrad - I suggest you watch the video.
are you a model as well ?????
Are Bootcamp hours flexible? For example, if you take care of a young child in the daytime can you do this work in the evenings?
Is anyone from Le Wagon or Ironhack in Germany? Which one is better. I've basic knowledge.
I’m thinking of going to UCLA extension coding boot camp in July. With quarantine though it will be all through zoom and online. Do you believe it’s worth it or should I wait till I can actually attend a class
Thank you for your honesty I. This
You are so welcome!
