Any coding boot camp grads out here?
Was it worth it for you?
Would you do anything differently?

Considering using a bootcamp to pivot from consulting to SWE, but also considering taking the PMO path into tech since I already have the XP there.. Hoping your experiences can help inform please!

Not coding but QA, took a course 4 years ago and started my career from scratch. Definitely worth it if you really going to push yourself.

uplifting

Where did you take the course? Was that a bootcamp style program?

Yes. Worth it. Making 2x my prev salary. Only thing i would do differently is that i wish i did it earlier in life.

Great info — thank you
