The concept of digital nomadism has grown in popularity as a way to make a career while on the road with the help of tech innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the most obvious and valuable benefits of digital nomadism are work schedule and lifestyle flexibility, as well as opportunities to connect with people from different professional backgrounds. By being a digital nomad, you can gain new cultural and professional experiences as you can work in new environments and take on various tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To top it off, PayScale\u2019s 2021 State of Remote Work Report<\/em><\/a> reveals that employees who work remotely full-time earn more than professionals who do not work remotely at all. And if you\u2019re wondering which digital nomads earn up to six-figure salaries, tech professionals are at the top of the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Deep Dive Into the Le Wagon Bootcamp Experience in Rio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s anyone who can speak about what it\u2019s like to travel and upskill in tech at the same time, it\u2019s Milene Cardoso. Originally from Paris, France, Milene traveled to S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil while in her last semester at the university. While in the city, she attended various Le Wagon events at the Google campus. This was her first encounter with the bootcamp, and it\u2019s also what pushed her to stay in Brazil and experience the bootcamp life in Rio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to give her business profile a \u201ctech spin,\u201d Milene enrolled in Le Wagon’s full-time Web Development bootcamp. \u201cI decided to join Le Wagon Rio not only because it was offering classes in English, but also because Rio had become my favorite city in the whole world,\u201d said Milene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milene characterized her bootcamp experience at Le Wagon-Rio as \u201cthe most amazing nine-week learning experience of my life.\u201d Paying it forward, she joined the Latin American team as Le Wagon-Rio\u2019s bootcamp manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s It Like to Study at Le Wagon-Rio Bootcamp?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Milene, Le Wagon Rio offers the perfect balance between study and leisure. Let\u2019s break that down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training at Le Wagon Rio follows either of the two schedules: full-time or part-time. The full-time schedule works best for students \u201cwho would like to take advantage of their summer break to learn new skills, unemployed people who would like to change their lives in a record time, or entrepreneurs who are dreaming of building their product in only two months\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The part-time format, meanwhile, is ideal for \u201cemployees who would like to take it one step at a time and keep their job while they side-hustle for their future dream career. It’s also great for parents, caretakers, university students, or anyone who cannot dedicate full time to the bootcamp,\u201d said Milene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rest assured that whichever format you choose, you\u2019ll still be learning around 400 hours of the same content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Wagon approaches teaching methodically. \u201cEvery day, we cover new content during the morning class,\u201d shared Milene. \u201cThen, students complete a series of challenges to practice. The exercises are designed to be incremental: the first exercise covers the content of the class in the simplest way; the second exercise adds a layer of complexity; the third adds another layer; and so on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, at the end of the day, all students have been moving forward on the same subject, up to the level of difficulty they felt most comfortable with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
