Scaler

After facing over 20 rejections in my job search, I came across Scaler Academy, which changed things for me for the better.

Their comprehensive syllabus helped me specially system design part. I was really bad at cracking interviews and I could see how... Read More much i improved. Join if you want to advance your tech career, because it does take a lot of dedication. It can get intense at times, so prioritize your day accordingly!

After enrolling on a friend's recommendation, I decided to join Scaler and here is my review of the course:

Initially, it was very difficult specially with time management. Then eventually i found my rhythm. Despite juggling a demanding work schedule from... Read More Monday to Saturday, I prioritized my mornings for problem-solving and completing assignments before heading to the office.

The results of my commitment became evident within the first 3-4 months. Referrals from various companies started pouring in, demonstrating the program's effectiveness in preparing candidates for real-world scenarios. Ultimately, I successfully cracked interviews and secured SDE III.

Is Scaler Academy worth it? I would say absolutely.

A lot many people transition to different fields, I was in that circle too but it was more difficult as I wanted to come into a CS world and i didnt have any experience. But interest was there!!

I joined with Scaler to learn more and more about DSA coding... Read More and lld. And it was a mixed experience tbh. It went beyond what i expected but still I found some things might have been better. It needed regular practice and like yk how that can be a difficult situation for working people. It was demanding, I'd say. Apart from that I liked the course a lot as I developed my DSA skills and confidence too. This led me to even get an offer from a top global company so, no regrets.

I was feeling stuck in a boring work routine, and I joined Scaler because I needed a change to spark some excitement. At Scaler, you're not alone on your learning journey. With supportive mentors, good user interface, regular mock tests, and a tight-knit... Read More community of peers, you've got a solid support system to keep you motivated and help you out whenever things get tough.

But hey, let's keep it real. Scaler's program isn't a walk in the park. It's a grind, and you need to be ready to put in some serious time and effort. If you're already juggling a lot, it might feel like a bit much to handle.

And this might be a deal-breaker: it’s gotten costlier than the time I was enrolled, so I am not quite sure whether the merits outweigh the cost anymore. But if I have to do it over again, I would.

With 14 years of being a coder, I am quite senior in terms of work experience. I joined Scaler Academy after a lot of hesitation…it was daunting to be in a learning environment again after one and a half decades. Here's my honest take:

Positives:
- Continuous... Read More Improvement: Scaler Academy's focus on lifelong learning appealed to my professional growth mindset.
- Practical Approach: Hands-on projects sharpened my problem-solving skills effectively.
- Supportive Community: Engaging with peers and experts enriched my learning journey, and meeting folks on my professional level there was simply a bonus. I made friends with people who were upskilling after 10,15 or even 20 years.

Negatives:
- Course Relevance: Some topics and instructors felt less tailored to senior professionals.
- Learning Pace: Balancing coursework with professional commitments was challenging, especially if you are entering the learning field after quite a while.
- Cost factor: Found the course to be priced higher side. But with my experience, I didn’t find it as a huddle. .

Although I come from a CS background and had some coding experience, I still felt something missing in my career. I was looking for discipline and routine to upskill in technical areas like data structures and algorithms. thats why I joined Scaler. Its... Read More structured course helped me overcome obstacles and improve my thinking and technical skills so now i am like much more flexible and confident in problemsolving. Im grateful to Utkarsh for inspiring and guiding me on the right path during my time at Scaler. so id say that if you want to just improve your technical skills and build problem solving skills then you can surely give it a shot

After my B.tech in 2011, I was a big fan of coding on Interviewbit. But since I wanted to get better, I followed Scaler, especially Anshuman and Abhimanyu. After paying the fees I knew there is no turning back. Impressed by Scaler's courses, now I can... Read More say the decision was right. Improved problem-solving and confidence. Grateful to all instructors. You will have to focus and juggle between work and studying but it's worth it! Happy with my job, all thanks to Scaler for pushing me onto the right path.

It's a good platform for folks like me who are from a different field altogether and want to learn coding from scratch. Now, I can confidently handle things like SQL queries, Tableau etc.

Can't review the program without mentioning @Bimlesh, my mentor... Read More at Scaler, for always having my back. If you're thinking of making a big change in the tech industry, having a good mentor is just as important as having access to good curriculum. The course is not just about learning; it's about how well you use all the resources it provides...so engage with people, be active in the community, never miss your mentor sessions etc.

Honest take? - it's been a bit of a mixed bag for me. Picture this: I started off as a chemical engineer, then jumped into data science, and Scaler seemed like the right place to level up my skills because the curriculum seemed fantastic.

On the bright... Read More side, Scaler's got some awesome teachers like @PulkilTaneja and @NikhilSanghhvi who really know their stuff. Plus, their way of teaching makes complex stuff a lot easier to grasp. The hands-on learning approach is pretty cool too - it's like actually doing stuff instead of just reading about it.

But learning here can be tough, especially if you're coming from a different background. It may take a while to adjust especially if you are a newbie, as the course can be rigrous.

Still, despite the bumps, Scaler's a solid choice for anyone looking to dive into data science. Stick with it, put in the effort, and you'll definitely see some growth.

Scaler has been a big help from the start...I developed again my love for coding during lockdown after joining the program. Advanced skills like DSA, Scaler's community and my instructors like Shirish have been the highlights for me. What I liked the... Read More most was that learning wasn't just theory but it was also a practical experience. Regular practice also became a habit due to the competitive nature of the program. If you're serious about enhancing your coding skills and advancing your career, Scaler can be an excellent choice if you learn how to manage your time and commitments well.
