Fast forward to my General Assembly experience, I graduated from the Software Engineering Immersive program where I developed skills in JavaScript, React, Ruby on Rails, and other technical skills that allowed me to build four projects over the course of the twelve-week full-time program. The amount of support provided during the program was absolutely amazing and next to none. I really felt cared for during the class with the instructors, teaching assistants, and classmates. GA is a wonderfully collaborative community.
After graduating, my career coach Anna stuck by my side for an entire year until I got a job in tech (at General Motors as a Software Developer!). It took a little longer to find work due to the pandemic, but Anna and the entire GA community are extremely dedicated to seeing you succeed. I am extremely excited about my new job and will continue to grow and learn within the field of technology long after my experience with GA!

All of the instructors do a wonderful job from the get go setting expectations and guidelines and really help and support you through the course. Yes the course is difficult and fast paced but it is designed to get you job ready in 3 months and teach you all of the necessary skills, not just coding skills but all of the soft skills you need to succeed in this industry as well. The material is very challenging but it needs to be to get you job ready in 3 months, if you ever find yourself looking for even more of a challenge the instructors are always willing to find ways to help you push yourself even more. The job assistance portion of the course is wonderful as well, weekly meetings with your classmates and a career coach to go over how to break into this field from an employees perspective is invaluable. You also get 1:1 time with your outcomes coach to go over personal career goals as well. Overall I would recommend GA to every person in the world trying to break into tech, it changed my life in so many ways I cant even describe and I will always value my time there as a student. - Carlos GodoyGraduate • 2.

GA makes it clear from day one that the course will not be easy. They help to prepare one mentally to face the emotional rollercoaster of learning to program. When I came to GA, I had left the safety of my job with benefits to bet on myself again. I was not let down. The ~12 weeks in the course are hard, really hard. It is so rewarding to graduate knowing that I gained valuable skills and can now build beautiful, functional web applications. This has opened so many doors for my life and my career. GA has a hefty price tag but what it did for me is invaluable. Attending GA was scary but easily the best move I have ever made for myself.
They teach you two complete tech stacks as well as computer science topics that cover both data structures and algorithms. They teach you how to think like a programmer, by breaking every step down to the smallest piece, which makes large undertaking less intimidating. They also teach you how to fend for yourself online. You need to continue learning post course to keep up with new technology and deepen your understanding of the technologies you are using and they set you up for that. The outcomes coaches are the best! Not only are they your cheerleaders when you feel beat up by the heavy material but they also help set you up to make an online presence for yourself. They helped me do the stuff I loathe doing, like revamping my resume and social media, and it has made all the difference. - Esin SaribudakOnlineVerified by GitHubApr 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Enrolling in the Software Engineering Immersive was the best career move I've made. The course is a significant investment of time and money, but it was worth it. I had wonderful instructors who didn't just teach programming, but also explicitly taught a lot of the meta-skills around software development.

The Outcomes career-coaching portion of the course was invaluable as well. The best part was being in a cohort with around 20 other students, who were my first community in tech, and it's also been great to continue connecting with the incredibly wide GA alumni network post-course.
The material is definitely challenging, and there were many long nights and weekends that I spent coding and learning more things on my own in bootcamp. You get as much out of it as you put into it, and expect to work very hard post-course to land the role that's right for you. But the skillset taught is highly sought after, and the immersive gives you the tools you need to build fullstack applications. Overall, studying in the company of others interested in programming and learning from some of the best teachers out there was an incredible experience, and gave me the knowledge and skills I needed to transform my career. - Ray VelasquezSoftware Engineer • Graduate • 2.

I truly believe I've learned fundamental skills that have benefited my career and aided me back when I was on the job hunt. It's been around 3 years since I graduated and I am currently working as a Mid-level Software Engineer at a great parenthood startup. I also work as a part-time Instructor associate to bring my experience in the field to our GA students community. From my personal experience, I can say it took me around 3 to 6 months to land my first job after the program.

I had an amazing experience with General Assembly's 3 month Software Engineering Immersive program. After a COVID-19 sabotaged my ability to attend college and work full time, I thought my dreams of breaking into the software industry were going to be seriously delayed.

After a COVID-19 sabotaged my ability to attend college and work full time, I thought my dreams of breaking into the software industry were going to be seriously delayed. Fortunately, I was able to get enrolled in the three month immersive program and get my goals back on track for less money than I would have spent on my degree!
It is still amazing to me to go back and look at my skill level when I started vs my skill level when I completed the program. I came into the bootcamp with a very basic understanding of html and css and I had maybe written a few lines of javascript in YouTube code alongs. But I really had no idea what I was doing. By the time I completed my capstone project, I was able to teach myself React Native, build a full-stack mobile application and get it launched on the Google Play Store in two weeks time. It was invaluable to be able to tackle the challenges of learning to code with a group of like-minded individuals who were just as hungry as I was to make a life out of software development. I felt continuously supported by the great instructional team with GA and when I found myself ahead of the pack a few times, the instructors were quick to provide additional challenges and goals to allow me to keep growing as quickly as I could. The single most valuable thing I think I gained from my experience was a strong software engineering foundation that allows me to learn whatever technologies I want with confidence.
I considered a number of bootcamps before deciding on General Assembly and I think the deciding factor was the proven track record that GA has for consistently giving their students the skills they need to land that first job. If you are wondering where you should go and are overwhelmed by the variety of choices, look no further. You will not regret the decision to enroll at General Assembly! - CallaGraduate • 3.

Class projects are designed to set you up for success when putting together a professional portfolio, and there is a whole unit devoted to building that portfolio. The instruction is designed for universal learning - ideal for those of us with learning disabilities. And lastly, and maybe most importantly, the commitment to diversity in the classroom is an enormous strength.

First off, let me just start by saying that the experience was incredible and totally worth it!
Remote learning is extremely difficult. I imagine that remote teaching is just as tough, if not more. Teaching adults and keeping them engaged, is an especially added challenge. The instructional team of my cohort took those challenges with stride, and went above and beyond to cultivate a healthy and exciting virtual classroom environment. Shout out to Zach Thomas, Javi Calderon, Daijah Reese, and Johnson Cobb from Washington, D.C. They are the REAL DEAL! The dream team! Through and through, they each exude the core quality of a true UX designer--empathy. As a student, I had no doubt that they had a genuine interest in my well-being and success in this course. The classroom experience that they created is the epitome of authentic user experience design. It was beyond evident that each element of our classroom experience had been implemented with careful consideration, creative thought, clear intent, and passion. The discussions that we had were very interesting and engaging- very cool, real-life, relevant illustrations. They were also very conscious of our screen fatigue, and offered regular breaks so we have a chance to stretch and be refreshed. I super appreciated the special attention to mindfulness with the creative exercises and feedback sessions. The coffee time and morning meditations were a nice, considerate touch. I was also very grateful for the constant humor and interpersonal interaction between the instructors and students. The visuals that they'd incorporate were super helpful (GIFs, memes, video/movie clips, TED talks, etc). I always looked forward to our new unit projects, because my instructor gamified them and wrapped up our unit with a mini “award ceremony” and recognitions. I loved our weekly group activities, they were usually low-intensity, fun, and allowed our group members to connect and learn together. I was told in the beginning of the course, that what I get out of this course is totally dependent on what I put in. And it's so true! I think that also applies to the instructional team. I believe what the instructors put in heavily influences, and I would even say directly influences, the outcomes of the students in the course.
Some general observations about the course:- I'm social, and didn't want to do a self-paced, independent course. GA's live, virtual courses were a great substitute to in-person classes. I thought I would struggle with it, but it was surprisingly refreshing and actually one of the best courses I've participated in, including in-person high school/college courses.
- Career Foundry vs GA. I tried Career Foundry for a week or so, and I switched to GA because I wasn't motivated to do so much independent study. Career Foundry is chock-full of great resources, they have mentors available for you to meet with regularly, but the bulk of your time is spent independently reading and watching videos. There is a forum/community of other students that you are able to connect with, but I did not find it to meet my needs. The pro about Career Foundry is that you set the pace-you can go as slow or quickly as you like, and maintain a job while studying. For GA's UXDI course, it's a twelve week, full-time program, and therefore impossible to maintain even a part-time job if you want to be successful. The course offers live instruction, and the opportunity to build wonderful relationships with your classmates. There are several resources made available to you throughout the course to help you succeed. I think the human element is invaluable. Each week there is a 2 hour session with "Outcomes" that assist you with preparation for post-course job-seeking.
- GA's UXDI was $14,950 compared to Career Foundry's $6,900. This is a big difference, but totally worth it for the experience, relationships, and resources/tools you gain.

Due to that experience, I felt jaded by the whole bootcamp experience and assumed they were all the same, that it would be just another revolving door. Come to find out, that was the furthest thing from the truth at GA. I asked a lot of questions to the instructor and to the people at the finance department. I really pressed on them and they answered my questions genuinely and was not trying to pitch or sell me their product, which are the bootcamps. Instead they gave me the facts, the stats, and data that I needed to see to confirm my choice in going there. I went through their UX design immersive program in Denver, and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. The teacher has real world experience working in UX and web development. He has a background in teaching and made the course easy to understand and digestible. He was always available to talk and provide sound advice. The projects we worked on also helped me get a head start in my career search. The career coaches have been phenomenal and have provided me great feedback which essentially helped me get a job in UX. I am happy with the results I have gained here and I have already earned a return on the investment I have made here at GA.
