Thanks for the sharing and can't wait to see your updates on some job strategy. Btw, I am going to apply for the springboard program : )

Thanks for sharing your honest experience. Congratulations on finding a job in your field!

A good way to practice white boarding challenges is to start with a structure so you can think about what you need to hit before moving on.

Hi Jacqueline! Thank you so much for making this video - I'm between Springboard and DesignLab but I really love the on-demand mentoring offered by Springboard. I'm currently an Astrophysics Ph.D. at UCI looking for a career change so if I go through with this, I'd try to do it while finishing up my current research project so it'd be a big change. Questions I have: - How many hours would you say one would have to realistically dedicate to finish in the 9 months? (I'm nervous about balancing my remaining research with the work load from a boot camp) - Also, if you need to take longer, do you know if they charge extra and if not, do they cut you off from the lessons/resources after 9 months? - One thing that worries me is how all of the students' portfolios will look cookie-cutter as you said. Do you know if leadership at Springboard is ever open to students doing other projects in place of the ones they offer? My family owns a restaurant with a Wix website but I was thinking I'd love to redesign it using what I would learn. Apologies for the long comment! Hope you can answer my questions - thank you again for making this video. I hope your career is going well! :)

Thanks for the pros and cons!

Congrats on landing a job! A lot of what you describe is kind of what I wished they had for the DS career track program they have. Basically they give you bare bone minimum theoretical stuff. I felt I only really started learning about data science during my first interviews. Great video looking forward to part 2 lol I linked your video to a few other DSC students.

You have to make portfolio projects your own. I can see what you mean about the stigma around bootcamp. I recently took a course from School of Motion and was looking at reviews first. Many hiring managers said the quality of work was higher, but all of the portfolios were the exact same.

He ran it through the people in charge of the curriculum and I was able to get it passed. I would highly recommend it and hope it works out.

Hi! I'm currently enrolled in Springboard and being paired with a great mentor is really important to me. My preferences are similar to yours and was wondering if you could possibly share who your mentor was? Thanks!

The material for the course just comes from other resources online. The career coach help is nice but depends if you want to pay X amount of money for mentors.

hello, I was wondering if you could shed some light on something springboard has on their site. so to be eligible for their career services, i notice the site mentions that you have to have a bachelor's degree as part of their requirements. Can you confirm this? I met all other requirements but that and i'm pretty bummed.

You can potentially finish earlier. basically they give you access to all the lessons and you do it on your own time. When you work on assignments you must get approved by your mentor. He she has to sign off on it to move on sometimes. If they need you to redo something that may take some more time. Just something to note when planning your timeline

Im not sure if i want to do web developer/design or UI/UX :/

@@ohgeezus2 Hi, no I haven't looked into that just yet. I was considering copywriting or digital marketing, but liked the approach to UX design a bit more. It's a bit frustrating as these fields evolve and then two separate roles get combined into one...like how former event/sales people like me would now need to know HTML to be an event coordinator for virtual events. It's a bit weird and makes me wary of spending a lot on courses if the roles will be totally different in a year's time. What do you think?

@ohgeezus2

@@adamc.7795 yes absolutely understand about combining roles and the pressure that brings with the feeling of needing to know everything. Although I do think smaller companies tend to ask more from an individual. Corporate companies or mature design teams tend to have more specialized roles. UX is so vast It’s hard for one designer to encapsulate every skill realistically. I wouldn’t worry about that too much, if you are considering school something that will not change is the methodologies of UX. The hard skills well, springboard is actually pretty good at following up with current designers and asking for feedback to update their curriculum. So the curriculum is always evolving. I have been part of their feedback call :) and my friend who graduated a couple of months after me actually had an updated curriculum. Hope that gives you a peace of mind.
