One of the best things that came out of year 2020, that I will eternally be grateful for was taking the bold step of joining a coding boot camp, not just any coding boot camp but LearningFuze. It is an experience that I can only describe as the right mix of studious learning in an empathetic environment with a community committed to seeing you achieve your goals. I live on the other side of the world and not once was I left it out in any interaction, even though I was the only girl in my cohort. Let’s start with what LearningFuze is and is not. It’s not a place for hand-holding and cuddling. You’ve got to put in the work. If you’re looking for a place to grow with people who treat you like a human being because they understand just how tough the process can be on you, then, LearningFuze is the right place for you. It will not allow you live by copying and pasting other people’s work or have answers handed to you in every situation. You do learn by doing but you’re also giving practice challenges that test your abilities to problem solve and to keep learning within and outside the classroom, giving you the necessary nudge out of your comfort zone. The job search is very similar to the in-class training. You will be armed with skills and prepared for the job search but you still have to apply to the jobs and go through the interviews as you’ll come to realize that you’re in competition with quite a number of software developers too. The best part, all the learnings and skill training are things you need in the real world and remain relevant even after landing a job. However, with LearningFuze even the instructors can be a shoulder to cry on, ever positive, ever encouraging, they go above the call of duty as it is with all the LearningFuze staff I have encountered. All in all, if you’re asking for my recommendation for a boot camp, I’ll definitely recommend LearningFuze. It’s not for the faint-hearted but it will help you achieve your goals. |
