    Incredible Experience

    I came into the course with very little technical background besides a BA in economics. This made the backend engineering portion pretty challenging which required a lot of outside hours (for me personally). However, this foundational work made learning new technologies later in the course much easier. I loved this course because it taught us how to think and investigate problems like engineers. What are the inputs and what outputs do we want? What does the error message say? Di...

    Be-spoke career program for data professionals [no chatGPT needed]

    Jigsaw Labs: Phenomenal instructor, cutting-edge curriculum and built-in internship

    Why do most people participate in any type of career bootcamp? The belief that a bootcamp is a cost-effective, time-efficient means to obtain a job. At the end of the day, most of us are looking for a bootcamp because we want a job, or to switch careers, and we would like to do so in a way that is more affordable and takes less time than attending a traditional degree-granting institution.

    What does this have to do with Jigsaw Labs? Jigsaw Labs is (1) affordable, as in...

    Jigsaw Labs was Absolutely Worth It!

     I am extremely grateful to Jeff Katz, and the rest at the staff over at Jigsaw labs, as thanks to their efforts I managed to obtain a job in data engineering even before the bootcamp ended!

You will develop skills in programming languages such as: python, bash, sql. Learn fundamental programming paradigms relevant to data engineering such as: OLTP/OLAP structu...

    Process over python

    "Process over python" was a quote that the instructor Jeff reinforced throughout the course. Yes we learned the technical knowledge of python for building ETL pipelines from scratch, but Jigsaw also teaches you how to think like a programmer and approach problems using data engineering logic. You stop worrying about if you can solve something, and start breaking down a coding challenge piece by piece using the Jigsaw curriculum's methodology and principles that utilize python's incredible ...

    Excellent Boot Camp! Superb Instructor! Exceptional Experience!

    Before I start off, I first want to say that this is my third bootcamp class within the last 7 years and jigsaw labs stands at the top in terms of quality and execution.  Jeff is a consummate instructor and he gave all of his students a high level of attention, knowledge of the information, and an uplifting attitude to help you succeed.

    Totally Life Changing Experience

    I chose this course because I was looking for a place that had live teaching online that was well structured pedagogically and I was not disappointed.  Jeff is a phenomenal teacher and I used to teach for years so I don't just say that for anybody.  My experience with the externship part of the course was a bit rocky but I also learned a ton of javascript and new tools from it that I will totally use in my next role.  
    I also took the course while working a pretty intense full-time jo...

    Graduate

    I chose Jigsaw Labs after dozens of BootCamp interviews because Jeff outright nerded out about his research and curriculum, he wasn't selling anything just sharing the state of data and where we fit in that world. I joined this course having absolutely no background in programming or computer science, part of me didn't believe I could come out the other end as a skilled engineer but I have and feel confident in my skills. I could not recommend this course highly enough.

    Fantastic teaching and unbelievable return on investment

    It's obvious that Jeff’s passion is teaching. He puts in effort to adjust to and support his students and will dive into problems (such as debugging your code) for however long it takes. Jeff is a patient teacher and I never had any kind of friction with the way he taught; it was totally fluid for me.

    What sold me on the legitimacy of the program was that Jeff weekly iterates on the curriculum to reflect the requirements of current job listings. He is really focused ...

    Up to date curriculum and great instructor

        I had been looking to get into the field of data and programming and took numerous short intro classes at several well known technical schools/bootcamps to see if it would be worth it to take their full time courses in data science and data engineering. 
    What I found was that the instructors really couldn’t really be hands on because the class sizes were too large and many instructors just couldn’t teach. 
        It was too much of a risk in time and tuition costs (also possibly h...
