I’m not sure I can do justice to the amazing people at CodeSmith but I’ll try my best. I remember reading the awesome reviews about the CodeSmith program while I was in living abroad several years ago and I wished that I had the opportunity to be a part of all the awesomeness that was described. Fast forward to today and I can say that the I had a chance to get a small taste of the real thing and it is richer and more impactful than I could ever imagine. I cannot say enough about the quality of the people - the teachers are caring, smart, and go above and beyond to help students. The students, prospective students, and staff that I met at JS the hard parts were intelligent, kind, and really nice to be around. The people at CodeSmith have done an excellent job of attracting the kind of people who you could imagine having life-long friendships with. What you’ll find are people from all sorts of backgrounds and experiences. One of the instructor at JS the hard parts was once homeless, another was a DJ, and another was a college dropout (and I’ve learned since that he was accepted at Google). To me, this is a place of second chances. In my technical interview, I wasn't asked about my previous work experience or my college degree or my age. It seemed like the tests and questions were only to gauge my motivation and merit and I appreciated not having to talk about the bad decisions that I have made in my past.
So I didn’t pass my first technical interview because I didn’t prepare well enough for the communication component. I was given resources to help me prepare for a retest (you’re given 3 opportunities to pass) but because retaking the test meant missing the cohort that I was applying to, I had to give up a small dream I had of joining the immersive program altogether(I have a wife and child so I couldn’t wait). I’ve since found work at a small startup doing some application development and machine learning. Yet, I do feel a sense of missing out on what I could have been and how much better I would be as a software engineer in the long term. I have read so many books and watched so many tutorials over the years to be able to hazily understand Javascript but it took only a few hours at CodeSmith to finally truly understand callbacks, classes, prototypes, functional programming, and other javascript concepts. I can easily see how someone who has finished CodeSmith’s program can qualify for mid and senior level positions because they really do teach on a deep level in a way that helps you extend what you know and apply it to solve different kinds of problems. If you are lucky enough to ever have the opportunity to study at CodeSmith, I would encourage you to do so. I wish I could.Employed in-field | 80.1% |
