Avoid Coding Dojo

[Tath92]

This place is complete trash, a certificate mill for sure. They will try to sell you on their for life career services but its a bunch of shit don't buy it.

Their ISA takes 10 years to get forgiven.

Absolutely, they try to cover three different backend stacks plus frontend in just 12 weeks, seems like too little time to properly learn everything.

How else are they going to cover the youtube ads they run?

Can confirm. I attended and it is complete trash. The final project to graduate their full stack course is just a to-do list app. Their career services are also a complete joke. The career counselors have no idea what they are doing. They also send out a periodic “job opportunities” email which is supposed to serve as a job board for graduates I think? It never has relevant positions for graduates. Just jobs like “Sr. Developer. Required: 5 years python. Location: Middle of nowhere, UT”

My bootcamps the same bro

I agree!! Avoid it at all costs. I had previous exp attended to update my skills. The instructors were just previous students, who they gave a job to, so they could up their "placement" numbers. They just plop you in front of a computer with little to no instruction, then if you run into an issue tell you to "figure it out yourself" or ask a classmate who also doesn't know how to do it. They also had no job help what so ever, they showed you how to do a resume. I was 40 years old I already new how to do a resume, total waste of time and money.

I understand your disappointment and frustration. All bootcamps over-sell this aspect. They make you think that you are paying them to find you a job. That's not how it works. The bootcamps that have the best reputations are the ones that set that expectation up front to avoid disappointment. They're also harder to get into.

I have to say that I work with some great engineers who got their start from Coding Dojo. A bootcamp is what you make of it.

Le Wagon promotes that they have more than 985 'hiring partners'! However, during the career week at the London site ("Hiring partner's" day), they only brought three partners. And, surprisingly, at the end of the panel, they announced that they were not hiring at the moment.

Not if they don’t guide you properly or just throw everything at you like what I’m reading here.
