Well worth it, if you are willing to put in the work

Brian Price graduated Galvanize

For someone who is willing to give it his or her all, I would strongly recommend Hack Reactor's Software Engineering Immersive Program. I can confidently say that I finished the program feeling like not only had I learned numerous concepts that prepared me to work in the field, but also how to problem solve in situations that require grasping something new. The instructors were excellent, though much of the program's strength lies in its curriculum and how - during the junior phase - the...See more

Pros

-- The amount I learned particularly in the junior phase was incredible, and looking back I feel like those six weeks alone were the equivalent of at least a year in a traditional software engineering course. -- The senior phase projects...See more

Cons

-- The time commitment is intense, and as noted above, this won't be the right program for someone who isn't willing to put everything in their life on the back burner for three months (though, the second half of the program is less...See more

Best life changing decision I've ever made!

Chelsea Tolnai graduated Lambda School

Created 24 days ago

I completed Lambda and immediately started mentoring for Lambda X (post-graduate employment preparation program). Within two weeks, I was hired as a contracted junior front-end wed developer for a fortune 10 company. After a month at that company I was hired full time. Since then I have been promoted and work as a senior lead engineer. I now make more than double what I made in my last career and haven't looked back since.

Pros

- Lambda is NOT a scam and is a real educational program that gives back whatever you put into it. It isn’t always easy but if stick to it and ask for help you too can get through it. - There is an amazing and vast community you have...See more

Cons

- You have to remember you are trying to cram an entire careers worth of knowledge into a few months. At times it's hard work. You have to treat the school like a full time job. For me it really was a full-time job. I had to quit my job...See more
