I'm writing this review three months after the bootcamp, with a signed contract for a position of Data Engineer laying on my desk. The salary is higher than I hoped for before joining and I could've landed the job sooner if I didn't go on a holiday after. This could be the end of the review, but I'll add a few more details. Before joining I had some experience in software engineering and product, I decided to move into the data world and couldn't have imagined a better start. The 3-months of the bootcamp were the most shaping and career boosting experience I've had so far. It was definitely intensive, but couldn't be otherwise, with the vast area of topics that are there to cover. The approach Peter and Daniel take might draw some questions at first, as it's not concentrated on constant programming exercises where you learn specific solutions to specific problems but instead it goes way beyond that which didn't feel natural. You learn about the vast array of tools available, but most importantly how to judge and assess them. You learn how to get into a completely new tool and solve a problem with it completely by yourself. You learn the importance of pragmatism in the tech world and become more critical in how to claims made by companies and people (spoiler: there's a lot of bs being thrown your way daily). You learn about all the technical areas related to Data Engineering week after week and can work on problems related to those and speak about them. Most importantly you build the confidence to stand on your own in this complex world of data and know how to move further. Also, thanks to the great career coaching you learn your value (at least I did) and can grow in confidence speaking with companies which leads to a lot of interviews, you just have to follow their advice. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
