That last part with aiming to get 1000 ticks on the whiteboard is an interesting strategy. I can definitely think back to times where I felt like there were many attempts on my part - but the number was probably lower than I felt like it was.

Solid advice. Everything that can be done to avoid getting overwhelmed definately should.

Love your advice! Yes, I agree that if you immerse yourself into anything you’ll learn it in no time. 💙

I've been spiraling and needed to hear some clear direction! LOVE THIS

Very proactive. Once you mentioned downloading the curriculum and studying in advance I knew I'd be subbing. Great tip.

Love your book SP, The Complete Software Development Career guide, it helped me start my software engineer career.

Great advice, not just for bootcamp but for learning anything.

I am three weeks into my 17-week coding bootcamp, He is spot on about getting in some pre-work to excel and/or maintain. Boot camps are fast paced. If you get behind in a coding boot camp, hold on to your britches and enjoy the ride, LOL!!

@@fsbohelper9986 None! Unless you have prior coding experience, I don’t recommend any six month or less boot camps. Save your money. Most coding bootcamps instructional delivery is too fast for most learners to fully comprehend. They only briefly go over the concepts. I recommend Zero to Mastery, Freecodecamp, treehouse, or Codecademy. If you can pick the coding concepts on these platforms for a drastically cheaper price point, go that route!

​@@fsbohelper9986 Do 2-4 months of self study and if you realize that you actually love it but realize that you might need a lot of extra push, then do a bootcamp. If you can teach yourself, boot camps won't help you much beyond career / job search skills (if offered). It's possible and very likely to go from no experience to a junior level role within 1-3 months of graduating from a boot camp. It just depends on your ability to maintain the fast pace required.

Very useful, thank you for this information!!

Honestly, the most genius and genuine advice. Thank you very much 👏

Great video! Fantastic advice to pre-learn their course!

Thank you so much for the amazing advice sir, still figuring out things for me but now i finally got some idea on how i should start

I love your thinking and believe this is beneficial. Thank you for this video and I am a new sub to your channel!

Everything you’re saying is exactly my plan! To the tee

Thank you for guidance

Very wise advise. BEFORE starting a Bootcamp do spend a few months (or at least weeks, but months would be better...) studying and practicing on your own the material that the bootcamp is going to teach. Not only because this way you will hit the ground running and take much more advantage from the bootcamp then the average dude who goes in with no idea about what he or she is going to do... but also because you will be able to make a objective and safe assessment about whether you do have the passion and inclination needed to become a professional programmer, and to do it in such an intensive and difficult way.

Great video man. Thanks for you advices, I've been looking for a career change and watching this video made me believe its possible.

I really needed this video. I recently started learning Java and felt that I needed a bootcamp to further my knowledge. More importantly to get the help that I needed when I needed it. One of the challenges I've had is making a decision on what bootcamp fits best where I want to take my career in tech since I am a career changer. Thank you for making this video!

Who knew the Punisher was a coder too! 😉 Great stuff!

Suzanne Rego If you want you could practice your Spanish with me so it doesn't get rusty again, I'm a native Spanish speaker.

No words to describe how good your approach is, huge thumb up.

My bootcamp told me the exact opposite of what you said. Don't pre-learn anything because you need to be able to learn on the fly they said. And yes that is true in some situations (I'm learning Radix-UI on the fly now), but I think I would have been way better off in bootcamp if I had pre-learned some of the basics, like React, Node, SQL, etc. It would have made the bootcamp a lot less overwhelming and would have set me up to struggle less and probably have greater success.

They can't tell you to learn on your own, otherwise what would they be teaching you? What if you like your way better and end up not going? Now did they reject some students with some cs background? If not why?

That comparison to a foreign language class was spot on

Hi. What would you say is the best tech boot camp? I am looking to join, but I’m overwhelmed by too many options. What would be your top 3?

Do you know if general assembly is good?

WTF dude! This dude taught me a lot in the manosphere, here I am learning to code and he pops up again

If you immerse and constantly grow and learn even after class after work. You'll do fine. If you do the bare min to pass. Does not matter what it is. You will struggle or fail. I do disagree on the "get a 6 figure income after bootcamp" This depends alot on individuals, market, region you live in, your network skills, communication skills, etc... Most places outside of Silicon Valley or High Cost cities will not pay that for junior devs with rare exception. To increase that chance you need some padding to your experience and work history. A degree increases that chances on top of CodeCamp.

0:34 😂😂 i used to hear 'to be a maaaan'

Nowadays, many, if not the most, people joining the bootcamp have either CS degree or previous work experience in coding.

Just more "Hype"!

Do I need a Asscociates degree or Bachelor ?

I have a computer science degree but I feel like a lot of concepts I don’t remember that well and need to re learn a lot. Would you suggest I study with free code camp, Codecademy etc or should I fork out 5k for a boot camp ?

I want to learn front end developer which boot camp is good ?

This is genius and simple! Why was I sitting there thinking “I should really brush back up on all the fundamentals I’ve learned” and try to prepare for what they’re going to teach me, when I could be learning WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO TEACH ME and leave myself in a far better position to learn throughout the actual bootcamp? Seems like a no-brainer now!

@@MinisterRedPill I actually did find a job, right in the height of layoffs (beginning of 2023 end of 2022). I got two separate job offers as a self taught developer. The only boot camp I went to was a free one with a guaranteed job offer at the end. Ultimately, the sponsoring company decided not to go through with new hires so I applied to several job offers and got a couple of them in the beginning of the New Year. Boot camps are a waste of money. If you are going to spend 20k on a boot camp just go to a cheap online college.
