Hack Reactor was a game changer for me

Created 1 day ago

I was a self-taught programmer when I decided to attend a Bootcamp to grow professionally. I did my due diligence and looked at all the leaders in the space. There are quite a few "certificate mills" essentially selling pick axes in a gold rush so buyer beware. But Hack Reactor stood out.

Portfolio

Created 2 months ago

A designers portfolio is very important. It is what differentiates you over other graduates and designers. Portfolio work was not started until the last 2 weeks. I would suggest starting it as soon as possible. This was not expressed enough throughout the course.

Pros

You get to meet like minded people, learn great skills and network.

Cons

Portfolios can look very similar because projects are all the same.
