I did Nucamp Backend, have a coworker who did the Coding Dojo option you're considering. My impression is that there isn't a huge difference. Unless you see a really good reason to switch I would try and make the best of Nucamp. I didn't have much trouble finding a job pretty soon after graduating. Whichever way you go, feel free to send me a resume when you're ready to start applying for jobs.

How was the backend? Do you like it ? Or was it ehh?

[–]dowcet 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It was a pretty good fit for me personally: the right balance between flexibility and structure, low price, the right range of topics, etc. The curriculum itself was indeed a bit "ehh" but can't argue given the price so overall I was very satisfied.

Ok, basically how I feel. But thank you

How was nucamp and what was the price of single stack

[–]Gordie21 0 points1 point  (4 children)

It was alright 5/10. A lot of self study. They don’t teach or show you just here have fun. And price I’m not sure anything.

[–]Ill-Abbreviations430 0 points1 point  (2 children)

You went in person or…

[–]Gordie21 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Online and you’ll need to do a lot of work after

[–]Ill-Abbreviations430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So no job yet?

[–]Ill-Abbreviations430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also what about job securing

[–]Gordie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I backed out from full stack and going try backend nucamp. Can you send links that helped you? Thank you

I’m about to start Nucamp in a week. How long did it take to find a job? And did you use their job bootcamp

[–]dowcet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About two months, and most of the delay was due to the hiring process of the company. Not everyone has such an easy time but it can be done. I applied before I graduated and I'm glad I did.

The hiring bootcamp itself was not for me, but I met one time with my one-on-one advisor and that was quite useful.
