"PASS"
I won't go into a description of what the Bootcamp offers - you can find that in the reviews below. All of them are accurate as to the material that the program offers.
I'll give my opinion of the FINANCIAL sense of going to this Bootcamp versus others... Read More
Let's do a compare and contrast with springboard.com (not paid for this, just using as an example)
Springboard
$7,500 upfront tuition ($8,900 if paid in installments)
Full Refund Guarantee (after 6 months of no job)
Deferred Tuition until you land a job
NYC Data Science
$17,000 tuition ($5,000 deposit just to get started)
No refund guarantee
No deferred tuition option
You'd think with that price tag, there'd be some awesome job network or assistance provided, right?
Not really.
They might send you a prospect once every two weeks.
But, all the interviews I gained were through my own efforts on LinkedIn.
The most they'll tell you is some superficial styling tips for your resume.
And that's about it. Connections they do not provide.
There was supposed to be a networking event with employers at the end of the program.
Didn't happen.
The closest to that was an invitation to a "Gender Equalithon" hackathon by Esteem whose stated goal is to "Hire & Retain Women, People of Color, LGBTQ, Latinx in Tech".
The point of this is - is that job assistance is important. The material can be learned anywhere - other bootcamps, online, universities.
But the major selling point for these operations is the job assistance and access to their professional network.
And by that metric, NYC Data Science doesn't deliver.
P.S.
The reason you probably don't see more negative reviews of these bootcamps, is because people are still angling for job assistance and most too are scared to speak up or burn bridges.

It really comes down to the people at NYCDSA from the instructors to career services and the alumni network. They are all ready to make a significant investment in you and your career as a data scientist. I loved learning from my instructors and from my peers. I truly feel like I am part of a community. Even in difficult economic times, you are put into a great position to launch a career as a Data Scientist. You need to be willing to invest a lot of time, but the investment pays off!

"Fantastic Coursework and Instructors!"
NYCDSA went above and beyond to make sure that their students had a stellar bootcamp experience despite being in the midst of a global pandemic. Having a "live online" model meant that we were all taking classes remotely, but that instructors were giving... Read More
Aside from the impressive response to COVID, overall the curriculum was very involved - a difficult but worthwhile challenge for both beginners and experts alike! The coursework is designed to push you and involve real-world datasets as examples in your analysis, and projects give you a real sense of how to approach data analysis in an intelligent way. This a great place to learn!

I'm a software engineer with work experience in Business Intelligence. I always felt data science was a logical extension of business intelligence. I had been planning to transition into the data science space by joining an immersive data science Bootcamp.... Read More
My experience has been a positive one. I was able to learn a lot of data science-related subjects in a short span of 3 months.
Thanks to the instructors, who were always there for the students. They really cared about the students and are well versed in the subjects they teach. The career services are very efficient, leveraging a large community of alumni.
I would recommend this Bootcamp to professionals who are looking to break into the field of data science.
