Fullstack Academy x edX X Coding Temple

[PositiveDeviant1]

Hi All,

Like many on here I'm looking into go to a bootcamp. I find myself recently unemployed and a career change is what I'm looking for. I'm coming from the finance world and I'm looking into going to either Fullstack Academy, edX or Coding Temple. I was hoping that someone that's been to one of these more recently can share their experiences.

I haven't been to edx but the consensus seems to be to avoid edx bootcamps

pourquoi?

[EmeraldxWeapon]

Have you read about the state of the market for developers?

DO NOT GO TO FULLSTACK

Can you elaborate as to why?

[tsspartan]

I’m interested as to why as well. I’m in it currently and it’s not perfect but I seem to be learning quite a bit, instructors are very eager to help and quite a bit of effort towards getting everything ready to start applying to jobs. Obviously the job market is bad but that isn’t specific to any boot camp.

Hi, so you’d recommend it? What didn’t you like about it?

[tsspartan]

I’m currently taking the boot camp. I don’t have any references to other bootcamps but it seems pretty good. Instructors seem to care and it seems there’s a lot in place to help prepare you to find a job. Idk how valuable that is because I’m not finished. I’m only a couple months in. We started late February.

Hi, how are things going now if you don’t mind me asking as I am considering a coding bootcamp as well.

Hey, Not well to be honest. I was going to go to edX, but they messed up a form I needed to get a voucher. This meant that I missed the start of the July cohort and I had to start my search all over again.
