Some criticisms (which were pointed out to the staff after our cohort ended):
Is this program right for you?
It depends. You could learn data science on your own with the content out there these days but it is a lot of information to learn on your own. At least at BrainStation it is somewhat guided learning that you can use as a basis to continue to grow yourself. For me, I spent usually 10+ hours/week outside of class learning on my own to reinforce the lectures and learn more about computer vision. You have to be a self-starter and be passionate about this field to make that career change.
Job prospects
After graduation, most of the interviews I had were with companies that came to Demo Day. Having that personal connection with the recruiters goes a long way in cementing your candidacy at a potential employer. For your projects, I suggest doing something that is interesting and challenging because that how I got people to talk to me.
