    Fintech Bootcamp

    After working in the finance industry for many years I transitioned into the alt data world as head of sales for a start up where I became interested in data and coding. After researching a lot of Bootcamps I was recommended this course by a friend who works in financial recruitment. I literally had no coding experience and truth be told very little computer knowledge other than sending emails and calendar type stuff. So the learning curve for me at the start of this course was extremely...

    Thank you for your feedback, Alexander. We're happy to hear you found our instructional team knowledgeable and benefited from their support, but regret to hear that the boot camp as a whole did not live up to your expectations.

    You're absolutely right that as a boot camp, our course moves very quickly through a wide range of material in a limited amount of time. As such, we provide a high-level understanding of various in-demand topics. As the curriculum progresses, we've found this methodology to be effective and witnessed individuals not only become increasingly confident in their newfound knowledge but also gain essential problem-solving and self-teaching skills: two essential qualities necessary in any real-world role. From your review, we understand that you did not feel this learning approach was sufficiently beneficial for you and we appreciate your feedback as we're constantly optimizing our curriculum and Boot Camp offerings.

    Our career services are built on the principle of empowerment, and we strive to support and guide learners throughout their job search. Although we do not secure direct employment for individuals, our career services team empowers job seekers to reach their career goals by helping them become employer-competitive. We offer support through a Career Material Advisor — CMA, Career Director, Demo Days, Virtual Tech Talks, and online workshops and events. We understand that you did take advantage of some resources, yet were unsatisfied. You are eligible and have ongoing access to online workshops/events, and CS alum self-directed resources. We would love to provide you these materials to assist you with achieving career success.

    It's our goal for all learners to leave the course feeling properly equipped to step out into the industry. We would love the opportunity to speak with you further about how we can supplement your Boot Camp experience or career search at this time. If you would like, please reach out to us at (646) 870-1598.
