Scaler

Got my master's in Germany and I have experience working as an automotive tester. Returning to India, I spent two years preparing for the UPSC exam but didn't clear it.
During this time, I actually found my passion for data science and chose Scaler Academy.... Read More This was one of my best decisions. The curriculum was excellent, providing a deep understanding of the subject and problem-solving skills.
What I liked in particular:
- Comprehensive curriculum
- Exceptional teaching
- Strong community support
- Effective problem-solving skill development
My DSA instructor was Manik Aggarwal and this review wouldn't be complete if i don't give him a shoutout for making complex topics easier to grasp

The odds were against me: as non-CS background and with minimal corporate exposure. But once I joined this program, Scaler became my guiding light in a way. It was a platform that not only filled the gaps with technical knowledge but also gave me a supportive... Read More community of peers and teachers. My fear of DSA went away slowly... thanks to their well-structured curriculum but more than that, the wonderful instructors who went above and beyond to help me. If you do join the course...just make sure to stay consistent and apply yourself every day to get max benefits.

Upskilling is key in IT, and there's no perfect time to start—just do it. Scaler Academy helped me boost my problem-solving skills and understand system design better. It's been a great ride, gaining confidence and creativity in tackling tough problems.... Read More Balancing work and study was hard, but I managed it with time and patience. Big thanks to my instructors for their invaluable guidance - would definitely recommend the program to anyone wanting to upskill.

Data Science alum here. Imagine you're learning to swim... you don't dive into the deep end right away. That's how I approached learning to code. It was tough at first, but I had to stick with it, be patient, and not rush into the complex stuff.

I started... Read More with easy tools like Tableau, which was pretty much the shallow end of the pool. Then, I moved on to SQL before finally getting to Python, which is like swimming in the open sea. The Scaler course helped me stay focused. It's designed in a way to take you through the curriculum step by step. I had amazing instructors and mentors too helping me along the way.

One advice I always remembered - ""Just remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint. You'll get there, and it'll feel great when you do."""

After facing over 20 rejections in my job search, I came across Scaler Academy, which changed things for me for the better.

Their comprehensive syllabus helped me specially system design part. I was really bad at cracking interviews and I could see how... Read More much i improved. Join if you want to advance your tech career, because it does take a lot of dedication. It can get intense at times, so prioritize your day accordingly!

After enrolling on a friend's recommendation, I decided to join Scaler and here is my review of the course:

Initially, it was very difficult specially with time management. Then eventually i found my rhythm. Despite juggling a demanding work schedule from... Read More Monday to Saturday, I prioritized my mornings for problem-solving and completing assignments before heading to the office.

The results of my commitment became evident within the first 3-4 months. Referrals from various companies started pouring in, demonstrating the program's effectiveness in preparing candidates for real-world scenarios. Ultimately, I successfully cracked interviews and secured SDE III.

Is Scaler Academy worth it? I would say absolutely.

A lot many people transition to different fields, I was in that circle too but it was more difficult as I wanted to come into a CS world and i didnt have any experience. But interest was there!!

I joined with Scaler to learn more and more about DSA coding... Read More and lld. And it was a mixed experience tbh. It went beyond what i expected but still I found some things might have been better. It needed regular practice and like yk how that can be a difficult situation for working people. It was demanding, I'd say. Apart from that I liked the course a lot as I developed my DSA skills and confidence too. This led me to even get an offer from a top global company so, no regrets.

I was feeling stuck in a boring work routine, and I joined Scaler because I needed a change to spark some excitement. At Scaler, you're not alone on your learning journey. With supportive mentors, good user interface, regular mock tests, and a tight-knit... Read More community of peers, you've got a solid support system to keep you motivated and help you out whenever things get tough.

But hey, let's keep it real. Scaler's program isn't a walk in the park. It's a grind, and you need to be ready to put in some serious time and effort. If you're already juggling a lot, it might feel like a bit much to handle.

And this might be a deal-breaker: it’s gotten costlier than the time I was enrolled, so I am not quite sure whether the merits outweigh the cost anymore. But if I have to do it over again, I would.

With 14 years of being a coder, I am quite senior in terms of work experience. I joined Scaler Academy after a lot of hesitation…it was daunting to be in a learning environment again after one and a half decades. Here's my honest take:

Positives:
- Continuous... Read More Improvement: Scaler Academy's focus on lifelong learning appealed to my professional growth mindset.
- Practical Approach: Hands-on projects sharpened my problem-solving skills effectively.
- Supportive Community: Engaging with peers and experts enriched my learning journey, and meeting folks on my professional level there was simply a bonus. I made friends with people who were upskilling after 10,15 or even 20 years.

Negatives:
- Course Relevance: Some topics and instructors felt less tailored to senior professionals.
- Learning Pace: Balancing coursework with professional commitments was challenging, especially if you are entering the learning field after quite a while.
- Cost factor: Found the course to be priced higher side. But with my experience, I didn’t find it as a huddle. .

Although I come from a CS background and had some coding experience, I still felt something missing in my career. I was looking for discipline and routine to upskill in technical areas like data structures and algorithms. thats why I joined Scaler. Its... Read More structured course helped me overcome obstacles and improve my thinking and technical skills so now i am like much more flexible and confident in problemsolving. Im grateful to Utkarsh for inspiring and guiding me on the right path during my time at Scaler. so id say that if you want to just improve your technical skills and build problem solving skills then you can surely give it a shot
