    cybersecurity analyst

    Hello,
    My name is Alavi Ahnaf I start cybersecurity analyst program in January 2021. I graduate it in April 2021. I did my best in cyber security analyst program, It was extremely hard for me because they don't provide any kind of sources which means they don't have any good professors or help from anyone at all. In this program you're pretty much in your own. If you are someone who can do things in your own than this is for you. But, if you're someone who's visual leaner ...

    Software Engineering

    Overall, I'm happy with Flatiron School as they even helped me land a job after I graduated. The curriculum is challenging and getting the projects done is not as easy as it may sound. You have to study to be successful. The only problem I can think of is an inconsistency between cohort leads. I've had to change cohorts a few times due to personal issues and had some bad experiences with some teachers. I would recommend FS to improve on the teacher's consistency. Other than that, it was ...

    Cybersecurity Analytics

    I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in cyber.  Great foundational knowledge that opens a lot of possibilities within the security realm.  The full-time course is extremely challenging although worth the fight.  You definitely learn how to self study which will prepare you for post graduation work thats necessary for job placement.  I personally went in more of a pen testing direction and in hindsight maybe would have taken their cyber engineering course instead.  BUT, ...

    Amazing Experience

    About two years ago I decided that I wanted to make a major change in my life and  move into software engineering. I was pretty upset with work at the time and exhausted. I started researching how I could learn to code and came across Flatiron. I was a little hesitant because of all the promises and success stories I was seeing -- could it really be that good? On top of that the price was a little steep and the landing page seemed market-y and kind of turned me off.

    It Worked

    I was skeptical and prepared to me taken advantage of, but I have to say the process worked. I did the part-time program and, while it was still fairly grueling, I learned a lot and stumbled through the rest. The pacing did make things tough, but my cohort leads were as helpful as they could be. Their chat support also notably improved as I progressed through the curriculum and they seemed to make changes on that end. The job assistance was really top-notch and that was why I went in the...

    I'll talk about the bad and then the positives. My only complaint is that career services didn't set me up with the right career coach. I had a hunch that maybe the career coach wasn't doing much in helping me get employed. Her means of encouragement and assistance didn't suit me. She was a "critiquer."  I changed my career coach after a year of ineffective coaching and got hired within 3 months. The new career coach spurred me to study harder and boosted my confidence during the intervi...

    Struggles in Data Science

    I took the data science course. It was partially review from undergrad, but I still learned a ton and got way more active experience. It's a huge amount of work, but quite rewarding. The career coaching after taking the course was wildly unpleasant however. They set up extremely unreasonable requirements to prevent you from being able to refund the course if you don't get a job. They also really provided absurdly little guidance as to what kinds of jobs to look into, what level of job to...

    Hello, my name is Dmitriy Malayev. I was enrolled in the part-time software engineering course entirely online. I think joining and completing the curriculum was the best decision.

    Well I can't say I didn't enjoy my time. It was what got my through COVID, and my dead end job in Chemistry. I will say you need to be ready to work hard for this. You will have great support networks within the school and through your instructor. The weirdest part was learning so quickly you didn't even know you were learning. Then you start building a project and are all the sudden grasping everything. I had a great time and don't regret a thing.

    Best Decision I Ever Made

    I wanna start this off by saying that I was originally very hesitant to enroll into Flatiron (not because of Flatiron itself but because of the reputations of a lot of other predatory bootcamps). It's also important to note that I enrolled in the data science program so I cannot speak towards it's other programs. Ultimately, I chose Flatiron because it has one of the best reputations of all the bootcamps out there and I am happy to say that all the positive things are 100% true
