NO Turning Back!
The healthcare profession has always been my ultimate dream and success means nothing more than landing on a stable job in one of the best hospitals in the country, well paid. However 10 years in this field made me realize that there’s more to success and life than living one’s dream. What compelled me to reinvent my career and venture into the Tech Industry is the thirst for personal growth and professional advancement to meet the growing demands of the constantly changing and advancing times. No doubt technology is taking over the world and to ensure survival and security, one must try to fit into this modernization. Thus, my decision to get into coding!
Being a newbie in the field both entailed courage and determination. It took me so much bravery to risk my stable job for something promising but completely unknown to my intellectual being and skills. I had to be determined to get out of my comfort zone and try something challenging and different. But what made it hard for me to shift career is finding a place where such opportunity is worth taking. I’ve looked into various bootcamps, read good and bad reviews about them, visited their websites but could not see myself into any of them until I came to know about Coding Dojo from a friend. She’s a career shifter like me and seemed to be satisfied, happy and changed with her decision. I was encouraged to try the “3 stack in 14 week immersive onsite program” and experience for myself what my friend had. The negative feedback posted in bootcamp sites didn’t stop me from enrolling as this is expected in any field, even med schools and hospitals do get bad remarks from their students, patients and clients. Nothing is perfect in this world and it all depends on us as to how we perceive, embrace and deal with imperfections. Oh well, those criticisms somehow made me skeptic and a bit critical on my first day at the Seattle campus. But I was relieved by the warmth of the Instructor who approached me as I was quite timid that time and he helped me set up on the first day. The orientation and first class clearly intimidated me as it gave me the impression that this program is serious and demanding (not that I didn’t anticipate it as my pre-course email already gave me the idea). It requires more than just my time and money but my commitment, diligence, patience, sense of responsibility, discipline and motivation. It seems to me that this bootcamp is a “you get what you put into it” program. I wanted to quit the moment the expectations were set but I gave myself a chance. I thought I need to give my best at least for a week and see where it will take me. I took the initiative to introduce myself better to my Instructors, made friends with my cohort-mates, participated in the activities and acquainted myself with the platform which is equipped with awesome features, very organized and complete with the tools and stacks I need for the class. Of course I exerted effort to understand algo and finish the pre-course track prior to attending so my basic will be strengthened as advised by the Admissions and the staff over the phone who are all very friendly and swift in responding. It sure made it easier for me to cope than coming into class a complete idiot. I survived my first week and so I decided to push through the second… the third, to a month, then two until I graduated without even realizing how much insight I gained, how my confidence in the stacks I learned was boosted to a 100% and 1, and how my character was modified, my perception cleared - I was a totally different person but a fulfilled, competent and confident programmer! Surely it wasn’t all smooth sailing, I had those times when I get frustrated with just not getting it but the instructors always have a hand to help and to encourage, there are times when I get depressed because I had to compromise “me” times of rest, leisure and sleep to finish my assignments and to research but after completing the activities, I’ve never felt this much accomplished. And since the tuition is over $12k, I had other expenses and no other source of income other than my savings and a little family help, it was a bit embarrassing for me to have my overdue at the Dojo but they were very considerate that they extended my payment without taking it against me saying that the student’s goals have always been at the top of their interest and they don’t mind bending the rule a little bit just so I won’t get distracted and discouraged by financial incapacity in pursuing my goal. I was moved and energized to keep going, I felt like my goal was a priority to them and they put value in it as much as I do. Some bootcamps just wanted to get paid and the students welfare and concern are irrelevant. Not to mention, even as an Alumni they offer free career services to help me find a job. I am taking advantage of this right now together with my free extended 6 month access to the platform while I’m seeking for a job. The Dojo made me feel that I and my goals are important even when I’m not in the campus anymore; They played a big part in my growth as a person, in my advancement in my new chosen profession and they are taking part in my success (though I feel successful at this point in time).
To my fellow career-shifters who are curious and have been wanting to give coding a try, I highly recommend Coding Dojo - it sure is the place to be! It changed my life and there’s no turning back! Why not see for yourself, (I’m a living proof) it’s worth every penny but please be advised that you have to earn the prize in the end. There’s no easy way and shortcut to success and the greatest success you will ever achieve in your life is the one that you have invested and sacrificed yourself into. Go for and after it!
