Ruan Pethiyagoda I went through the Hack Reactor program, and counter to their excellent advice on how to manage a job search, I accepted an offer to work there before the founder could even complete his sentence, and without even having gone into compensation. Getting accepted is a strange type of challenge - it's now how much you know, but how you learn, that seems to make the difference. As such, the syllabus doesn't tell the whole story. Graduates have gone on to work in software engineering, web development, data science and more managerial roles. It was such a captivating environment that I was irate at having to go home at night. I went from having next to zero software background (minus dabbling with CodeSchool etc) to writing scaled distributed computing networks that got their fair share of attention, all thanks to the people in the room, be it my peers or the instructors, very senior engineers, and solid operators who know what they are doing.
