After A Year of not landing a job, I can confidently say that this was not worth it. The school is great the people are great but there is no guarantee for landing a job. In fact, I found it almost impossible to even get an interview. I did get a few... Read More but didn't land anything.

Forget about linked int. No one in tech wants to let you into the tech field. Half of the people I reached out to were either looking for a job themselves or hostile to letting "competitors" in.

Most of the jobs require security clearances which no one will sponsor you for even if you have a flawless record and have never sipped an ounce of alcohol your entire life.

The school doesn't have connections who are looking for graduates. You pretty much have to have a master's degree and 5+ years in tech to even get considered.

If have already been in the field for years or have a related degree, it may be useful. For anyone else, save your money.

I chose Springboard for its curriculum and opportunity for networking and real-world projects. They also partner you with a mentor (which you can change if there’s not good chemistry there) you meet weekly throughout the whole course. There’s also chances... Read More to do ‘on-demand’ calls with career coaches and other mentors. I didn’t need another degree, but I did need to learn UX/UI from industry professionals and get some portfolio work. Their curriculum was very thorough, and overall a lot of good material to help you prepare without the fluff you might find in a traditional degree. If you have a design background, it helps a lot. If you don’t, really make sure you have the time in the beginning to learn. They do provide small exercises with most units to help you apply what you learn, but finding opportunities outside of it to practice will help too.

Some PROS:
- Self-pacing
- IDP (real-world project)
- Support was quick and helpful most of the time.
- mentorship and career coaching from people all over the world.

some CONS:
- Some backend issues with their site at times. More than once my dashboard info (completion date or progress tracking) was not accurate and I had to reach out to fix it. Be on top of knowing what breaks or free extensions you take as well. I started screenshotting everything so if they messed up, I could refer back to those.
- Billing. Had a few times where I was charged twice in one month. Always check to make sure there is no double charging. They got it taken care of right away, but after the second time, I wasn’t leaving anything to chance.

I was very intimidated when beginning the road to learn to be a software developer. Springboard's curriculum, mentor, career coach, TA's, and other resources in an expansive pool made this journey fantastic. I feel confident and knowledgeable as a programmer,...

This program did take a tremendous amount of work, but it's possible if you're motivated and easier with the support system they've provided you who will be present every step of the way. The curriculum is thorough, I feel that I can tackle several different roles that require different technologies.

Customer support is also fantastic, they've always responded quickly and are efficient and helpful. I am incredibly happy I found and chose Springboard to build my bridge into the world of software engineering.
