I have had several people reach out to me lately inquiring about coding bootcamps, from here and my YouTube. Here is how I would decide on which bootcamp you should attend: 1. Think about what technology you want to use. No point in doing a data bootcamp if you want to be a developer. 2. Understand that bootcamps are a hell of a lot to take on. There is a lot of information being thrown at you in a relatively short period. 3. We all learn differently. Reach out to the bootcamp and ask about their teaching styles and ask about any reservations you have. 4. Inquire about their career services. Most are quite lacking here so it is worth digging in and seeing what they offer. 5. Think about how much time you have to dedicate, as most are full-time. IF you have a family or other commitments you may need more support from them. What would you add?

🤖 Ishaq Amin I like freeCodeCamp - they have career paths - for free of course 🤩 And the free courses from Codecademy, Scrimba and Sololearn.

Bootcamps are a much riskier proposition than they were a few years ago due to the current state of tech hiring and layoffs. A lot less risk tolerance for entry level hires, seeing experienced engineers in my network spend a longer time on market.

3moStart with something lower risk, like Skill Foundry. Spend a month going through the content at a bootcamp pace for $125. End up staying in the program and changing to a more reasonable pace. Go deeper and learn more because you don’t have a 12 week artificial deadline and quality content and fractional mentorship is all you need. Finish having learned more, at a healthier pace, at 1/10th the cost and 1/50th the stress.
