| | Chris C | It works.
It’s been a little over 4 months since I graduated from MAX Technical Training, and these 4 months have been awesome because I’ve been working as an application developer.
I’ve always wanted to get into programming, tried researching online, took multiple online courses, but never felt like I truly understood it.
Working through the bootcamp each day and studying/ practicing at night, along with help from my fellow classmates and instructor I made it.
Yes, it was a lot of information, but it was structured in a practical manner.
Yes, it was a lot of hard work, but it all payed off.
I think if you’re interested in becoming a software developer, you should try it out on your own, and see if it’s something you’re going to like.
Then ask yourself if you honestly like to learn. This I believe is going to make or break you in the bootcamp and in your new career.
If you think that’s you then start researching, I recommend people to check out free code camp, I think it’s a good area to start.
MAX also hosts the .NET meetup every month, you could go and meet actual software developers.
The reason I chose MAX was because they’re rooted in the city, very well connected with local companies and is literally an IT learning hub.
Now for the dirty details. There was free food throughout the whole day during the bootcamp, and free pizza once a week. Everyone I kept in contact with from the bootcamp all got jobs. Only 2 of them had degrees, neither was in computer science. I about tripled my income, the week after the bootcamp when I got hired. The money was on par with MAXs estimations. |
