    I just discovered your channel, and wanted to send a huge congrats in your job search! I'm going to be starting mine soon, and the positivity you express is working wonders in calming some anxiety I have about the process... I can tell you worked really hard, and it's awesome that it's paying off! Keep doing your thing!

    Congratulations on getting your new job! I look forward to more videos of you in your journey in the industry. I’m still considering if I should do just the Google course or if a boot camp would be better. I can’t wait to join the industry as a designer as well. You’re videos inspire me

    hi! so i quit my job early july and began my bootcamp a week or 2 after that. my bootcamp was 12 weeks. later down the line i received my official offer letter the end of oct. so i would say 4 full months! i know it's really hard, but it's totally worth it! however i will say not everyone has the means to do it. but if you're able to sustain yourself or be supported (e.g. financially) i would totally recommend it. i know things worked out best for me, but i think you have to be okay with uncertainty and the possibility it might take you a bit of time to transition and find a new job. if you're determined to put in the work i think you'll see great growth. i wish you the best of luck :)
