Anonymous If you have no experience in coding you are wasting months of time and money on any of these courses. They make it seem like you'll build an amazing portfolio during the course, but that's not likely for about 80-90% of the class. They just want to fill the class with bodies, and the only requirement seems to be having $10k to spend and a pulse. Unless you are very comfortable w/ JavaScript, you will be lost after about week 4-6. If you can't get the hang of it, you have zero chance of putting any decent looking portfolio together. Then when you have no portfolio or apps to show on a resume, good luck even getting an interview. It won't happen. The "career services" is the biggest joke of the curriculum. It seems to be searching LinkedIn and Indeed, and then forwarding job postings to students. keep in mind most of these postings will require 2-5 years of experience, and normally also require a CS degree. They also talk about their career panels where they bring in local employers (amazon, hulu etc), who will give presentations about the industry and such.... and they all have CS degrees and/or master degrees in Engineering. Every single career event was a waste of time and poorly organized. they might hire a few students a year from these bootcamps, but those people would've likely been able to succeed all on their own because that's all they do in their spare time. if you're coming from a different industry, prepare to feel like you're running in place Unless you have 1-2+ years experience in HTML/CSS and JS... AND have a decent portfolio prior to taking this course, you'll likely have no chance of getting hired with anyone doing anything related to web development. The students my class getting jobs were already seasoned before they even took the course. They were already working in the industry or they had recently graduated from college with an engineering background or something similar. There is no way that beginners should've been in this course. It's a lost cause. IMO these camps should have an entrance exam requirement before anyone can be considered for enrollment. if you don't score above a certain mark, you shouldn't even be considered as a student. Unless you have a strong aptitude for learning these concepts, you're absolutely wasting your time and effort. It won't matter if you spend 50 hours on a project or 1 hour. If you can't grasp the concepts, you're done. You might as well be trying to read braille or Mandarin Chinese.
