I decided on a career change in my early 30s when I was unhappy with my career in the medical field. I had done some simple HTML and CSS in the past, and so I decided to take General Assembly's part-time Front-End Web Development night class while I was working full time. Though it was a difficult schedule, I am glad I decided to ease myself into learning the basics of Javascript, HTML and CSS at the time.

I decided on a career change in my early 30s when I was unhappy with my career in the medical field. I had done some simple HTML and CSS in the past, and so I decided to take General Assembly's part-time Front-End Web Development night class while I was working full time. Though it was a difficult schedule, I am glad I decided to ease myself into learning the basics of Javascript, HTML and CSS at the time. I decided to quit my job a month later and begin the Web Development Immersive course, a full-time intensive bootcamp that lasts about three months. I took out a private loan and several credit cards in order to finance my studies and life for that period of time. There's a reason they call it a "bootcamp" - it is very difficult, time-consuming, and fast-paced! I was prepared for all of these things, and I found General Assembly's community really helpful if I encountered any difficulties along the way. Fellow students were open, kind and encouraging. Teachers were AMAZING - incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely nice people. The curriculum was well-formed and organized, and I was lucky to have the same organized, knowledgeable and helpful course producer (Mercedes) from my part-time Front-End course. I felt that the outcomes (how to get a job after the course) was well organized and catered to most of the students who didn't have any experience with things like writing a technical resume and making yourself look like an excellent candidate on LinkedIn.
You will get out what you put in. I studied 7 days a week and used many outside resources (both online and buying books on JavaScript) to help me get the in-depth knowledge I knew I'd need to show that I was competent enough to be an entry-level software developer. After graduating, I realized what benefited me most by taking the course was the group projects. When learning programming on your own, it's rare to be able to work on a team on GitHub or to use git to the extent you do in the real world. GA's procedure of making everyone learn how to work together on a development project introduced me to how I'd be working and interacting with future coworkers. It took me approximately 75 days after graduating to get my first contract, and I got my second contract a week after that! I landed at that second job and I've been working there for three months now and I absolutely love it.
The job hunt: It is stressful, it's hard. The days and weeks after graduation are even more difficult and grueling than the actual bootcamp. I applied for literally hundreds of jobs, contacted so many hiring managers and lead software developers on LinkedIn and other places, and I received so many rejections - too many to count! But, I stuck with GA's Outcomes planning and documented everything I did and took advantage of all of the after-graduation meet-ups, talks, etc, to ensure I was networking to the fullest extent. In addition, I was always on a new project. I refactored my first GA project, and then moved on to teach myself new JavaScript frameworks on my own.
For me, it was a sacrifice of time and finances, but I feel I used the resources GA made available to every student to the greatest extent I possibly could and that made all the difference and my life is entirely different and 100% better than it was just a year ago!
