Cons:

I chose Springboard because of the program's career support, design programming, real-world project offer, and job guarantee so I'll share my thoughts now that I've graduated.
The programming covered UX/UI design well. One HUGE oversight is the visual... Read More design deep dive. While they provide an overview, it is not enough to be competitive in the market. I shared my portfolio with senior designers and they gave me a ton of visual design feedback. Frankly, after 9 months why didn't my mentor or coach share that feedback with me? Either they didn't know or, just didn't care.
Real-world project: Frankly, this was a mess. At first, they gave me a research project when I needed a design one because you know I'm a designer. The next one, they assigned too many designer, and there was not enough work for everyone. One designer ended up without work and the project didn't ship.
Career support: My career coach didn't provide valuable feedback on my case studies and told me I should build coding skills! Mind you I took the UX design bootcamp. It's unfortunate, and now I'm just stuck with them. 

This program is self-driven, and really only for the dedicated student who is motivated to accomplish things on their own. While I received assistance and input from my mentor, there was really very little other guidance through the program. The resources... Read More utilized for the curriculum are reasonable... but some were less than exemplary. Some of the reference materials are from providers in the industry and so offer information primarily about the products that they offer rather than an overall experience. I feel that the time spent moving through the curriculum was a great deal higher than the estimates and averages offered by the program. Reading the articles and watching the videos, while taking notes on the information, was much more time consuming than expected.
I feel like I learned a lot... about cybersecurity and about myself through this course.

If you're thinking about doing a boot camp, this is the one. The technical mentorship alone is worth the price, it is very thorough, and you will be very well-prepared for a new career in Data. From how to approach the job search, to the technical material,... Read More to how to network and build a personal brand, this experience is invaluable. 5/5 for professional career changers like me, and this program is cheaper than other ones. The job guarantee was another big reason why I did the program because I qualified.

Data is the new oil, and the world is becoming increasingly digital with the advent of ChatGPT and Google Gemini. The President of the United States as of the time of this writing) just passed a $500 Billion dollar investment in AI infrastructure called Project Stargate, which aims to bring more jobs to the US. Recently there has been a major shift in the technology job market, but knowing how to code will always be valuable in any profession, there is still opportunity everywhere.

They will help you put your best foot forward no matter what your situation is. If you're looking to join a BootCamp, this one is it.
