Career Path: Software Engineering
Before Coding Temple: Client Success Associate
Before Coding Temple: Threat Analyst @CrowdStrike
I was a client success associate at a proxy advisory firm.
I felt stuck. I wanted to find a new path professionally. I also missed my childhood hometown and was looking for an opportunity to move back.
I enrolled at Coding Temple for a few primary reasons. First, it was an online program. I wouldn’t have to deal with a commute or being away from my young family. Second, it offered highly competitive lifetime alumni resources and job search support. (This was probably the biggest factor, to be honest.) Third, it advertised a money back guarantee for Full Time grads who fulfill a set of weekly required metrics, and that potential for additional financial security was appealing.
The most challenging aspect for me was just the sheer amount of information. My learning style is generally to dive as deeply as possible and arrive at total mastery, if possible. In the boot camp environment, this style just didn’t work. There was simply too much to know.
I overcame this by being consistent anyways. “Fake it until you make it” is definitely a quote I could apply here.
For me, it was probably just getting more practice with learning independently, especially learning tech independently. Coding Temple is really great because it provides you a ton of resources and education, but somehow also manages to push the student to seek additional knowledge independently. CT is a springboard for lifelong independent learning, and for me, I think that’s the best part about the program.
The live instructors. Mine were Terrell McKinney, Ryan Rhoades, and John Loveland. (As far as I know, of these instructors, only Ryan Rhoades is still with CT.) All three of these men were fantastic in the classroom and completely succeeded at convincing me that I had made a good decision to enroll in the live instructed course. I can’t imagine where I would be without them.
Since Ryan is still at CT, let me say, he is simply fabulous. I can’t imagine what my experience would have been like without him. He is a real asset for CT.
The job search process was honestly awful. I’m just grateful that it did not last very long for me. (I can’t imagine how much worse it would have been without the Huntr board, the Skilled Inc. mock interview, and the CTA Slack, all of which were amazing.) I would say it was intrinsically awful, though. Coding Temple made it so much better than it would have been. I don’t blame CT for the job search being grueling. I think it’s just the nature of the beast.
The best thing Coding Temple did to prepare me for my jobs is expose me to actual frameworks and technologies. Having personal projects has always been a huge deal, and very empowering.
Since graduating from Coding Temple, I have worked for Coding Temple as a Night TA, a Full Time TA, and a Part Time TA, and I have worked as a Threat Analyst and Full Stack Developer at CrowdStrike. My overarching career goals are to enhance my skills at front end development, become as proficient as possible with Machine Learning, and continue to develop as a cybersecurity professional. AI is becoming everything, but it will always need a human in the driver’s seat. I want to keep pace with the tech as it evolves.
Coding Temple was a bit less formal than I was expecting, but honestly, I’d say that was a good thing. I think what surprised me most about the experience was how much I would bond with my instructors and cohorts in spite of the program being entirely remote. Maybe the on-camera requirement contributed heavily to that.
Stop trying to compare yourself to others. Just stop it. You are on your own journey. At the end of the day, you can be the worst coder in history and still land a job as long as you’re committed to learning something new as often as possible (at least every day, I would say). The ultimate secret in life is to enjoy what you are doing. If you enjoy coding, who cares if you are bad at it? If we only allowed ourselves to enjoy playing basketball if we were as good as Michael Jordan, we would never play basketball.
Coding Temple believes in the power of education. We have built our curriculum around the most in-demand technologies and paired it with the most effective learning styles to prepare our students to be tomorrow’s leaders in technology.
