Wow this was a super balanced, fair, and nuanced review of bootcamps for data science. Appreciate it!

[@anurag.tensordev4032]

such honest content. absolutely loved this. subscribed.

[@JesperDramsch]

Thanks a lot! Glad to have you along.

Really took the time to explain the different criteria for joining a Bootcamp,I was very confused when I started my Bootcapm as I'm not from IT or CS. I loved the fact that you also took in consideration that how everyday busy moms could have a impact on their life because of dense time constraints present while doing a Bootcamp. Price was a really big concern for me too when I took a Bootcamp provided by companies and Universities. I on the verge of applying to University of Stuttgart for Computer Science Masters as it costs less then a Bootcamp and a really good Uni. In the end was able to get into a BootCamp that costs no more than 200Euros but better than 90%(YES LITERALLY HAHA) of them provided by Giants in Service and Education Industry. Love your content!

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck getting into Stuttgart should you decide to! What was the 200€ bootcamp you attended?

I just realise after sending this long of a message that I sound like a proper fan boy

[@JesperDramsch]

nah, just engaged which is great! No weird vibes detected on my side

[@sirninaidu]

Hey Harsh, can you share which Bootcamp did you join and how was your experience ?

[@rverm1000]

Europeans give a more realistic view of the boot camp experience. there are quite a few people on youtube who claim they got a programming job after 3,4,5,6 of study. im not buying it

[@JesperDramsch]

Yeah different cultures can add valuable viewpoints here I think

I am in a bootcamp rn. I have a masters in philosophy and bc of my interest of ethics of ai i enrolled into a 3-months intensive fulltime bootcamp for data science. I got it paied, but i have to live off of my savings. The content and pace for someone with not former CS education is tough. I learn on weekends too and it takes most of my time. Yet, at this Point, half way through, i cannot imagine to be job-ready at the end. Question: do you think people like me are even sought after in the job market (living in Berlin/Germany)?

Best video so far!!!

[@JesperDramsch]

Thanks!

Agree about the that you should be able to manage your time if you wanna take a certificated or something similar. Atm. I had made a really good deal with work. every 2ed Friday is education day and with my wife it is Tu and th from 19 to 22 i Study. I am on the Google Analytics certificated and some udemy Python for data science and tensorflow. In the future I will build an IBM data science certificated on top plus som portfolio projects.

I really enjoyed your video, for someone like me who just got their High school diploma, can I enrol in a boot camp?

[@JesperDramsch]

Thank you! That depends on the bootcamp. But many should be happy to take you!
