Read MoreI have wanted to go to Prime since a good friend did it ~6 years ago, but quitting my job didn't feel doable. When their part time full stack option opened up I jumped right in. Had a great experience, learned important hard and soft skills, and started my new job as a software engineer at Target before I even graduated from Prime. I did decide to quit my job around halfway through the program, and some of my cohort mates did the same - we all found that more manageable than balancing prime + work + applying to jobs (you should start applying before you graduate from prime, btw). I had some coding experience going in and already knew that I liked it, but I had cohort mates who did not, and they did well too. If you're the kind of person that likes to prepare in advance, checkout Codecademy and FreeCodeCamp's beginner javascript tut's. From my prime cohort, everyone that was actively trying to get a job (which does mean applying to tons of places) got one within about 3 months of graduating. Not sure how often they update this figure, but FWIW my starting salary was about $11k higher than what Prime advertised as the average salary for their grads at the time. My cohort mates also all made about the same or within $15k more than me at the jobs they got. Now in the workforce, I've met lots of other bootcamp grads, and I do think Prime prepares you better for the workforce than the average bootcamp. It's longer than many other bootcamps, and having React on the resume (at least currently in 2022) is a big plus. However, that said, don't over analyze the specific tech stack offered at Prime vs. where you're trying to get a job - they're often different and it's expected that you'll learn many new technologies throughout your career. You just need one stack to get started. As tech is always changing, a huge part of this career is learning new things, so if you are bored at your current job, this is the place for you....
