So I read plenty of reviews on here and other places about this and many other bootcamps. If you want in-depth reviews there are plenty of them out there. I am designing this review for one purpose only, what it's like to enroll, to actually do it, and to successfully switch careers.

So I read plenty of reviews on here and other places about this and many other bootcamps. If you want in-depth reviews there are plenty of them out there. I am designing this review for one purpose only, what it's like to enroll, to actually do it, and to successfully switch careers.
Enroll: If you have zero coding experience don't enroll. Spend at least a month (the more the better) writing code. Doesn't matter what language you choose (I started with Javascript) just get used to having to think through writing out code. Once you can do that you will have enough of a foundation that you won't get knocked off your feet when you start with the pre-work. You will feel dumb and clumsy while you get started, just practice like crazy and review stuff you don't understand.
Bootcamp Proper: If you didn't get comfortable thinking about/through code and didn't get through the pre-work you will get crushed. If you did, then you will be ok, everyone in my course that did that foundational work made it through. How difficult is it? That's impossible for me to say. Things that were easy for me were hard for others, and vice versa. One thing is absolute though: it is a lot of work.
One of the most important things you will learn is how to teach yourself. If you are easily frustrated and want the instructor to spell things out for you then this may not be right for you. I will say though: every single working developer I have talked to says this is crucial to their job. If you choose this as a career you will be reading official documentation and message board support topics for the rest of your career, because it is impossible to know everything, so teaching yourself is vital.
Feeling dumb and clumsy persisted throughout bootcamp, there were times when I thought I'd never figure something out... and then I would and I'd feel like a genius. So don't get discouraged, or rather it's normal to feel discouraged, nervous, panicked. It's an unfortunate bi-product of doing something completely new and unique that can start to feel like a mistake. If you stick with it and resign yourself to doing whatever it takes no matter how much time and effort you need to put in, then you'll be rewarded.
Post Camp/Job Hunt: Ripal was invaluable when it came to this. However, be prepared to be overwhelmed in a whole new fashion. Developers are so in demand and the ability to access them via LinkedIn and Indeed, etc is both a blessing and a curse. I was inundated with job offers for positions I was not remotely qualified for, so it can be a bit of a downer. But the strategy Ripal has honed over the years was effective. I got a job 3 weeks after graduation. I applied to 14 postings, heard back from 3 with no's and 3 that I am currently in process with (who knows what will happen, but I'm not waiting to find out). Seven I have never even heard from and the 14th is the one where things moved quickly and they offered me a position. The number of positions I was offered to interview for that were well beyond my experience level : 50+.
So that's the gist of what I went through. It was intense, scary, overwhelming, but ultimately rewarding. I now have a new career path in front of me in an industry that's only getting bigger.
Note: If there was a way to add more stars I would because it's impossible to learn everything you need to in such an accelerated environment. It's more like 6 or 7 stars out of 5. I'm still learning stuff that was only touched on in class.
