I came from an administrative background, ready for a change. I wasn't feeling challenged and knew that entering the technology industry was going to set me up for a good career path, since technology is only continuing to grow!
What I learned at Coding Dojo was, first and foremost, I am capable of accomplishing even more than I expected. I think a huge part of the decision needs to come from an understanding of yourself. I know that I am the type of person who can read and learn, while taking extensive notes, but I also need to be able to talk through some problems with other people. Often, I understand the concept, but need to process how I understand it, only to find maybe I have a small disconnect or lack of knowledge about syntax or something. All that to say that this was the basis of my decision to participate in the immersive program vs. the self-paced online program.
I also really enjoyed the variety that Coding Dojo offered. Several bootcamps only learn one stack or one side of development, and I wanted to learn the bigger picture. While I don't believe that we were able to go as deep into some of the concepts, such as scalability and how that relates to enterprise-size applications we would work with at a company, I do believe that I had a very valuable experience that set me up to be able to take on new roles and succeed. They talk about this day one, and I would encourage anyone to take it to heart. Don't be afraid to ask questions. You are only hurting yourself if you decide to be prideful and 'tough it out'. Also, in the real world, time means money and if you're wasting time on something that could easily be resolved by pair-programming or asking a peer, then you're simply being selfish.
Now, I work for a large oil & gas company who also has divisions in minerals globally. They are undergoing a digitial transformation, so my role was created as a hybrid to not only be involved in writing code for applications, but really help to bring the Agile and Scrum mindsets to the organization and help manage how that affects and enhances Operations overall. It's been challenging and there is a LOT to learn, but as someone who wanted to have a versatile role, I am happy. It all started with overcoming the fear of failure and taking the risk to do the bootcamp in the first place.
