![]() Speaking of good investments, one thing I did not consider at all when looking at bootcamps but has honestly been the best ROI of the whole process has been the Alumni job search support. ![]() I am now making more than would ever have been thinkable in my previous line of work, and honestly enjoying it much more. Let me tell you, it’s so absolutely worth the money and the worry once you’re on the other side with a great job and a start in a huge new career. ![]() Don’t sell yourself short by doing one of the easier bootcamps with no entrance exam or a slower pace. It’s scary to apply, scary to interview to get in, and scary during the bootcamp not knowing whether you can cut it. And they were always updating it (I even got to help update it as a Hacker in Residence) to keep it current. They chose the curriculum based on what gave the best fundamentals and what were the most popular frameworks and libraries in jobs, combining the practicality and thoroughness you need to be a great developer. The instructors were great, my cohort was fantastic, and I learned more in a short period than I ever have before in my life (this from someone with a PhD!). Years later now, I still look back very fondly on my time in Hack Reactor (now Galvanize).
