1yr later and no job

Will you learn enough to get feel comfortable No Will you learn enough to get a job Maybe I was not the best coder in class but I was far from the worst By the end of the program my portfolio compared to my counterparts was one of the top best looking portfolios my cohort class had So whats the issue GA makes the claim that they are the 1 bootcamp and they staff more grads than any other bootcamp If that is true then that just means that other bootcamps arent staffing at all or they atleast know they shouldnt be making that claim After 1 year I have seen GA provide a handful of Fortune 500 job opportunities With that being said not all job offers are in the industry you are trying to get into For example the job posting may be for UI UX and you went through a software engineering course If that wasnt the issue then the job available wasnt even in your town may not even be in your state Basically you either have to be lucky or move across the country for this opportunity GA also makes the claim that you have 1 on 1 coaching experience Which is technically true because you can request 1 on 1 sessions however 90-99 of the sessions you do will be group sessions Unless youre just inexperienced with work resumes applying strategies or things similar that is the only way you will find these sessions beneficial Other than that literally 99 of it consist of an hour of people practically sitting in a circle telling each other dont give up keep applying 1 year approx 2000 applied jobs and 16 000 later no job You decide if this is an experience you are willing to risk to experience If youre sitting here saying maybe he just had bad luck Maybe I will tell you what though had I known then what I know now I would have never gone through this course Not even because of the negative experience but I could have learned just as much on my own and a mentor for like a 3rd of the price and thats on the expensive end
