I invited on 3 graduates from the coding bootcamp Coding Dojo to share their experience with the software engineering program. As usual, my goal is to get past the marketing BS and hear the REAL experiences of graduates. We dove into the pros AND the cons.

I just hosted a recent review of Fullstack Academy and invited on 3 REAL graduates to share their REAL experiences. As usual, this is free of BS and marketing fluff. I hope this helps in deciding if this program is right for you.

I invited on 3 recent graduates of App Academy to share their experiences. These types of review episodes are aimed at getting past the marketing fluff of each coding bootcamp, and diving into real, authentic experiences from 3 real graduates. I was completely wrong about App Academy. This ended up being one hell of a conversation.

I invited on 3 recent graduates of the coding bootcamp, Flatiron School, to share their experiences at the program. This review is meant to get past the marketing fluff and dive into 3 REAL student experiences. We dove into a LOT in this episode, from the curriculum to even things like questionable clauses with their contracts.

I invited on 3 graduates from the coding bootcamp, General Assembly, to share their experiences with the program. All 3 graduates ended up having pretty different experiences with different parts of the program. We definitely dove deep into the pros and cons of the curriculum, instructors, projects, and outcomes. Given that General Assembly has no previous data with Cirr.org, DEFINITELY challenge the self-claimed outcomes. If admissions can't handle you digging into the details of criteria that would exclude students from their self-claimed outcome data, that should be a red flag. For all prospective students, I hope this helps with your decision!Guests:Brittany Bui - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittanymbui Chace Zanaty - https://www.linkedin.com/in/monsoud-zanaty-93559b212Kole Deighan - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kole-deighanDigital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify---------------------------------------------------🔥 Webdev Career Help - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching🎮 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3❤️ Support What I Do - https://www.patreon.com/donthedeveloperDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. ===========================WEBDEV COURSES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:🎓 Learn Frontend - Scrimba (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper🎓 Learn Backend - Boot.dev (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER - Get 25% off your first payment with code "DONTHEDEVELOPER"🎓 Already Experienced?

I invited 3 graduates from Code Chrysalis, a coding bootcamp in Tokyo, Japan, to share their honest and transparent experiences with the program. We went deep into the pros and cons. I loved that everyone here had fairly different opinions about what they actually liked and disliked about the program. One of my favorite parts was talking about how progressive American culture seems to be seeping into other countries. Is that a good or bad thing? Maybe it's time Americans stop trying to force their beliefs into every culture around the world. That's how I feel. What do you guys think?Guests:Yukimi Otagiri - https://www.linkedin.com/in/yukimi-otagiriMichael Metcalf - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-a-metcalfFrancis Gaudreau - https://www.linkedin.com/in/francis-gaudreauDigital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify---------------------------------------------------🔥 Webdev Career Help - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching🎮 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3❤️ Support What I Do - https://www.patreon.com/donthedeveloperDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. ===========================WEBDEV COURSES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:🎓 Learn Frontend - Scrimba (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper🎓 Learn Backend - Boot.dev (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER - Get 25% off your first payment with code "DONTHEDEVELOPER"🎓 Already Experienced?
