Data Science
I am transitioning from software engineering to data science as someone who has a PhD in psychology and quant science. I rather enjoyed Springboard, as the curriculum was sequential and learning was built in a manner that made sense. The course material was great and my mentor was wonderful. There are people that communicate with you throughout, program services, career services, student advising, and they are all very kind and sweet. They were helpful and really moved things along when I could not find my technical coach to do a mock coding session for my job guarantee. I don’t know how the job guarantee will be since I just graduated and have only had 1 meeting with my coach. She seems knowledgable with great energy. Let’s see how this goes. The career coaches that you are required to meet with to go over your LinkedIn and resume are pretty helpful and very sweet as well. You get what you put into this program in terms of learning and as with any program, there’s the administrative stuff you have to complete. It was not a big deal and it was nice to interact with a human being. I went through another bootcamp and that felt soul breaking in comparison. This bootcamp was a breath of fresh air, honestly. Springboard gives you the content and you just need to learn it and follow all the rules they set forth if you want the job guarantee. If you treat them well (email them nicely), they will treat you extremely well. Looking forward to them helping me get a job!
