I am a recent NYCDSA graduate. Before the retrospect. The outcomes first: Know myself better, made great friends, landed a great job within 3 months, came back to the dream land……
My story is a little different. The pre-DSA career is not bad at all. I have had worked for a couple of top companies in the pharma and health industry for several years after getting my PhD. For some reasons, I am always thinking of expanding and tuning my fields. Life is quite dynamic that I recently moved to the east coast and happened to get stresses from various parts of the life. Rather than hanging there, I decided to challenge myself and make changes. I have thought of schools but it is not realistic for my situation. I have studied some bootcamps and visited NYCDSA last year. The people there were very kind and down to the earth. I was not too confident at first but I would like to give a try. Therefore I gave up what I was doing, which was pretty risky and got a lot of doubts from people around me.
But I always know very well and anyone should keep in mind that 3 months can hardly make one totally expert in data science, otherwise I will be willing to pay 10 times more. We should always keep learning; the effort will pay back.
The course designs are up to date. They focus on practical data science skills. The first month is about coding and analysis in R and python, which I found helpful in my case. After that, machine learnings have been emphasized on both python and R, then the big data part. Most of us are not directly from cs or math backgrounds. We had to work very hard for the classes in the morning, the homework at night and most importantly, the 4 projects with different emphases. We were pushed by the deadlines and harsh schedules, like the real world, have to come out the results before knowing everything. I was the humblest guy during the 3 months in my entire life J. The instructors are very kind, helpful and always there to help. During the process, I have made some great friends, knowing people from such diverse backgrounds and also know myself better. Although I got my job on my own search according to my specialized interests and desires. The NYCDSA tried its very best to connect alumni and companies for the hiring. They have great connections. There are many alumni get jobs from the network.
Suggestions and lessons: Once you have made the decision to attend the bootcamp, forget the past and dedicate yourself. Always focus, do not doubt your decision for one second or look back.
Skill is very important, but that’s not everything. Try to communicate, make friends and find out your strength well during the bootcamp. Design at least 2 of your 4 projects well, you know yourself the best, interact with the instructors frequently but do not solely rely on their ideas. Do not live far, I burned myself out on the long trip every day. For the projects, try to team up with members most accountable, fair and those with high integrity and work ethics. If you share the common interest, that’s even better. Do not judge others only by the technical or coding skills, it’s a teamwork, cultural fit is critical. Last but not the least, we do pay a lot and might give up what we already have for the bootcamp. But when you get the quick reward in life, these pains with hope are abosultely worth it.
