Nurse to Technical Consultant

Registered nurse

Burnout from previous role and interest in the tech industry.

I was drawn to the positive reviews of the career support services and the material covered in the bootcamp.

Sometimes the homework or weekend projects assigned did not appropriately match what we learned (oftentimes much harder) and it was about changing my perspective on how to keep learning on my own and challenging myself.

I gained a lot more self confidence and feel much more well rounded in my skills. I learned a great deal about myself through this process as well.

TA assistance and the alumni career support.

I was able to land a job through an alumni referral and will be using one of the coding languages covered in the bootcamp. I was able to pass a technical assessment for the job based off of the knowledge learned in the course.

I now have a job in the tech industry and I hope to keep working on becoming a software engineer.

The course itself did not meet my full expectations due to personally requiring more time to learn but it was an overall great experience and I am surprised at how much I learned.

Make sure you absolutely enjoy coding and understand that you will have to keep learning for the rest of your career. You might feel like you don’t understand something in the moment but you’ll find that you know far more than you think!
