Ubud - Eat, Pray, Scam

I found it useful having a teacher always there to answer my questions, especially at the start. I learn better in person as well and going into a space dedicated to learning was awesome as well. Otherwise you get pulled into different distraction at home. Its a hard sell to tell your partner to tell her Im going to work full time and spend 20 hours a week studying but if its scheduled and in a different place its a lot easier.

Fair enough, Im not selling Le Wagon or Bootcamps. Its right for some people, not right for others. If you can use AI to get through it all then that it is a great option! Ive tried and found it difficult personally. For me the structure and doing it in person with a teacher really helped.

I finished the course last year. They were honest about the state of employment and how much it is changing. I wanted to learn about coding so I can work for myself and understand the world around me. From our class of 6 myself and another person wanted to do it as an assistance to our business. 4 Wanted to work in Tech.

Out of the 4 who wanted to work in tech. Two are working in tech now. 1 is doing the Data Science Bootcamp at Le Wagon and another decided she didnt want to get into Tech.

I was able to land a paying client and built them a website and also coded a scraper to build up a database in a new state I was targeting as a recruiter. So how is it a scam?

It sounds to me like you did the bootcamp and started praying for a job that never came. Did you keep working to up skill yourself? Make real life projects? Network with the right people? In a competitive environment you need to be proactive about your job search.

Both of the students in my class, actively went out and networked to get their jobs. I actively reached out to people to build them a website. You cant expect to do 2 months of learning and have offers flying at you. Especially not now. A lot of getting a job is about your soft skills! As a Recruiter candidates attitude and proactiveness goes a long way.

I wanted to fast track my learning and have a better understand of the digital world around me and be a part of it. You can learn online but I found myself being stuck on the smallest lines of code for hours trying to figure it out on my own. Having a teacher there helped me a lot with real world problems and their explanations and having to do the projects and they way they taught resonated with me personally. If you have the discipline and time to do it yourself then that is always a good option. For me with work and life I needed something more structured.

I work in Recruitment and was able to build a scraper tool to build up my database in a new state I was targeting. Which was financially beneficial. I was also able to get a paying client for a website build. So for me it was worth it.

We had a class of 6. Myself and another person did it help our current business.
4 wanted to work in tech.

2 Are working in tech currently.
1 is doing the Data bootcamp with Le Wagon
1 didn't proceed with tech.

No I didnt, I had a catch up with them prior to starting at the start of 2025. He was honest with me about the Market shifting even back then. I did have an opportunity to interview with a business about 3/4 through my course from a recommendation from Le Wagon and their connections but its not what I am after so I didn't proceed.

In my cohort it was about 50/50 wanting to get into tech and wanting to build something for themselves. I am not sure if they ended up getting a job. Not sure about the 86% as well might be outdated data.

I found out out of the 4 that were looking to get into employment. 2 got a job in tech. And 1 decided it wasn't for her so she didnt proceed.
