I attended a coding bootcamp when I was switching careers a few years ago. It didn’t just teach me how to code; it completely rewired how I approach problems and communicate with my team. Before, I was more of a project overseer, but after the bootcamp, I found myself diving into technical discussions and tackling challenges head-on with the team. It gave me a serious confidence boost, opened up new doors I hadn’t even considered, and turned me into a leader who’s not just talking strategy but actually getting into the nitty-gritty with my team. Now, I'm an engineering manager.
Attending a coding bootcamp was a pivotal moment in my career. As a marketer, I had always been curious about the technical side of things but felt that coding was out of reach. The bootcamp gave me the structured learning environment I needed to dive into data and gain hands-on experience quickly.
