| | Michael Taylor | I spent a few months preparing in order to get into Hack Reactor, starting in January. I got accepted and started the precourse in April and the full-time remote course in May. I graduated in August and had accepted a job by September. In less than a year I was able to achieve my goals of becoming a software engineer and land a competitive job in the industry thanks to Hack Reactor and without a college degree. This would've taken me over 3 more years of education plus a job search to get where I am now. On top of that, since they are a part of the VET TEC program, I didn't have to pay anything for this. So my fellow Vets out there that have an interest in software engineering or development use your resources!
The course itself is very impressive and I found my expectations being exceeded at every step of the way. Their teaching approach is very hands-off a majority of the time but is handled expertly. They know what they are doing and have a good reason for it. You will come out of this course a very self-sufficient learner which is valuable in this industry. I would say that some of the best value that Hack Reactor brings is in its curriculum. It will push and teach you a lot while giving you the projects to put on your resume to help land you that job. Which brings me to one of the best parts of this course, the career services. They will provide you all the resources you need in order to be successful after you graduate. If you do what they advise it is only a matter of time before you land a job with your newly developed skills. Then there is the Alumni community which will continue to provide you value long after you graduate.
Overall this is an amazing immersive program and I am so thankful for all the staff that has helped me along the way! |
