| | Hsin Ling Hu | I just completed Thinkful's Engineering Immersion program! My experience was amazing. I knew nothing going in and learned so much by the end. This is not a program in which you participate casually. It is a hard Bootcamp, I’m not gonna lie, but my effort was worth it. The projects are closely aligned with what is expected in a real-world situation, and this, in my opinion, is the best way to learn to code. I was unsure how the fully online model would work with regards to being able to get help when needed promptly but to my surprise, I was fully supported by my mentors who assisted whenever needed. Although you’re on your own, you never feel isolated—there are always instructors available to help. My advice to any of you considering this Bootcamp 1) make sure you ask questions and do not shy away; 2) Be prepared to invest yourself- fully; 3) Do not get discouraged if your teammate is not performing to your expectation. It may happen anywhere in school, at work but the show must go on, the project must be completed, work hard, and bring that project to the end. Remember, you came to Bootcamp not for the certificate but for the skill which will get you a job. Good luck everybody! |
