Why I Did the Bootcamp
I have a business background and decided to get into UX earlier this year. If you look me up in Medium, over the holidays I will be posting a much longer post on how I made the decision to get into UX.
Many folks have learned and practiced design and web development on their own. Make no mistake, it can be done - but since I don't have a design background, I wanted a program that could guide my learning. But guess what - all ...
Why I Did the Bootcamp
I have a business background and decided to get into UX earlier this year. If you look me up in Medium, over the holidays I will be posting a much longer post on how I made the decision to get into UX.
Many folks have learned and practiced design and web development on their own. Make no mistake, it can be done - but since I don't have a design background, I wanted a program that could guide my learning. But guess what - all of the other 8 students in the class had a design background of some sort and they found it worth to take the course as well.
The thing about design is that it's more than just making something look good. It's about knowing how to solve a specific problem, applying best practices, AND making it look good. And you can't do that in a vacuum, you need others to critique your work, you need to know how to work with clients and you need to know how to work with developers. And that's what Ironhack exposes you too.
Before taking the course I read reviews not just about Ironhack, but about coding and design bootcamps in general, and some of the reviews were pretty bad. Some said they didn't prepare you for an actual job in the real world, that they were just diploma mills and wanted your money. I can't speak for the other bootcamps out there, but Ironhack is ballin'.
Finally, I am from Washington, D.C., relocating to Miami. Getting into Miami Tech seemed daunting; I didn't know anyone, didn't know what companies were hiring, didn't know any contacts. And now that I've just graduated, I can say while looking for a job is still a challenge, it is in no way daunting. I know my stuff and I know what's out there.
About Ironhack
Before applying for the course, I visited Ironhack and one other bootcamp in Miami in person. Irohnack is located at Building.co, a coworking space in Brickell (downtown Miami). Right now I'm typing this to you from the rooftop patio on the third floor. It's baller. More importantly, our classrooms are nestled in between real tech companies that occupy space in the building. At least once a week I run into the startup founder that won Refresh Miami's Tech Demo Day in October. I'm not just learning about tech, I'm bathing in it. Further more, the vibe here is just different. I feel like I'm wanted here, like I belong here. I've made what I think will be lifelong friends.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the staff here is just... the real deal. Really. And they're respected in Miami Tech - I know this from attending networking events and mentioning that I'm an Ironhack student. I've only gotten positive responses from saying that.
Alia, the GM, personally called me to congratulate me on getting into the program. When my wife came to visit the course one day, she welcomed her as if she was another student. You can't fake that.
Brito, the placements manager, is so well connected he probably knows Barack Obama and Obama doesn't even live in Miami. And he's sincerely interested in our success.
Marisa, the program manager, and Pat, the admissions manager, are similarly supportive and friendly.
And finally, for the UX/UI fulltime bootcamp this past fall, we had the most amazing Instructors, Maite and Kerri. Maite had done UX in Paris, London and I think New York and is world class. Seriously. She eats, sleeps, drinks UX. Like I'm almost worried for her sometime that she needs to get to the beach more. :-) . She pushed us very hard to be our best, yet I knew everyday she cared for us. You can't fake that.
Keri, our TA, had completed the course previously and was the cheerleader we all need when completing a program like this. It's hard. If you give it the level of effort you need to be a great designer, it's even harder. And she was always there, answering our questions and encouraging us through frustration.
In Conclusion
I don't know what the future holds. There are no guarantees. I know it's hard out there. But as far as it relates to my professional life, where we all spend the majority of our days, I'm more hopeful than I've been in a long time.
Whether you choose to do a bootcamp or not or Ironhack or not, if you're reading this I hope you find peace and meaning in whatever you do, and live courageously enough to work through fear and pain to better yourself and others.
