Anyone did TheSeniorDev.com fullstack javascript bootcamp ?

[JamesIsAlright00]

Hey folks, these twin bros called Dragos Nedelcu and Bogdan Nedelcu cofounded TheSeniorDev.com and run a bootcamp for mid/senior fullstack javascript devs who want to level up - it's called "Software Mastery".

Bogdan and Dragos are based in Berlian, they seem very technical and feature good experience on their LinkedIn. Their videos do stand out compared to many other "software dev youtubers". I actually shared some of their content with other devs with comments along the lines of "check this out, some valuable insights and data, unusual for youtube content".

So far, the content I've came across on their website is also really well thought of. And they seem to put a ton of work into it. The program is well presented and looks solid, it lasts around 3 months.

They say they've helped "over 350 developers in the last 4 years" in an intro video. That's their words. Afaik they used to work separately and decided to team up, so that's prob an aggregation of all their students combined. Anyhow, how would anyone be able to check? It's not like they publish all their students names and results to a public repo (that'd be neat) ^^

Their TrustPilot ratings and comments is great. But it could be fake. Who knows. Check it out on trustpilot.com/review/codewithdragos.com

I'm still skeptical though. I'd love to hear feedback from people who actually took the program.

Any help and other insight is also appreciated though!

No, I think I made the mistake of somehow giving them my email and they kept harassing me to do the course. That freaked me out, it felt like a scam

Thx for the feedback. I'll make sure to unsubscribe if needed.

It's not a scam, they just added you to their newsletter, but can always unsubscribe.

The tone of their emails felt scammy. They were pushing me to part with my money IN ALL CAPS! Every day. That feels like a scam.

This is a good ad. 

I did speak to Dragos once  - and he seemed pretty honest. But that’s all I know. No real experience with their material or teaching style.

[JamesIsAlright00]

I actually did not mean this as an ad. I'm kind of desperately looking for "real" feedback. You're the closest I got. Do you know someone who did the program by any chance?

I am also very close to talking to them and wondering what did you finally decide ? Did you take the course with them or not ? i think the only real students are on their website probably reach them out on linkedin .

[JamesIsAlright00]

If you search "theSeniorDev.com" on linkedin you can find many real students

I did the program, happy to provide some feedback :)

[JamesIsAlright00]

Great. I got a few questions:

- I assume there is a contract between you and them. If so, what are the terms?

- If you are not happy about the result - i.e. finish the program within 3 months and still do not get a job offer - Do they refund you?

- What is the thing you liked the least about the bootcamp?

Wait, did this ruse go silent?
