The Flatiron School Coding Bootcamp - ONE YEAR LATER

[@FlatironSchoolOfficial]

Thank you for the update! We're so happy to hear that you're doing well and you're truly an inspiration to us all!!

[@youricadet1557]

Hello, I'm interested in learning with you guys.

[@petedavidson4698]

one year in the game and already buying real estate if that doesn't motivates you idk what will

[@qcouple4930]

Michael Hamilton Y’all gonna make me cry. I need a change so bad. Been working at a job that doesn’t give annually raises no matter how hard you work and they treat us like dogs.

[@antoniogrant8]

Really motivating. Is it surreal to see how far you came in just a year after making that change?

[@phatroguedragon]

I love your spirit...I love your idea to teach coding...I love seeing women of color in coding...I love that you positively impact so many people...never stop.

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

Thank you so much!

[@TaniNiboo]

I have an interview next week with the Flatiron School!! Watching your videos helped me make the leap to switch careers and work towards my career goals!! And yes post your house tour lol

[@mouhamed515]

Where are you now??

[@iTzDynamic]

5:40 "this bootcamp changed my life.... look around me" NFS, that was the first thing I did when I clicked on the video. "one year later", had to assess the living space and then hear ya story. the passion and humility has helped me decide on whether to attend the BootCamp. glad everything worked out for you!! 💯❤

[@bytesizemagic]

Grats on your home girl!

[@mcm0125]

How did it go?! I'm thinking about signing up for Flatiron :)

[@ricamonina]

Currently unemployed due to the covid situation, and I’m contemplating going back to school to learn coding/development. Haven’t decided which boot camp to go to yet, but the videos about your journey are really inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story. 💜

[@RealEstateMover]

Buy a 10 dollar course on Udemy or go to free code camp , odinproject , code academy etc . There’s many resources online to get started you don’t need a school for it

[@nanaandpipi]

Buy a udemy course, finish it and apply to general assembly. I just graduated and my experience was amazing.

[@tayphiri519]

Also Edx which is linked to many great universities has FREE courses on computer science and data science!

[@basedmek]

@@nanaandpipi I think this is exactly what I'm going to do. What was your experience and job search like?

[@Vamo_Alla]

@@nanaandpipi hi 👋 you think 🤔 general assembly has a better reputation than flatiron? Thanks!

[@domlarae]

Thank you! I binged your videos a few days ago while trying to get my mind ready to prepare for programming/boot camp. Your videos have been very helpful and encouraging. I clicked fast when I saw you did the boot camp in Houston because that’s where I’m looking into going🤘🏾!!! Keep doing what you do.

[@adventureswithtaz1817]

This was definitely the motivation I needed to keep learning coding. I have been slowing down as I started to learn JavaScript. I have learned HTML, and CSS but I still need to get a stronger foundation. I love hearing your story I came across your channel as I was researching boot camps. I love how real you are! You are amazing! ❤️👏🏽

[@israelcanessa3715]

Thank you so much for this video. I’m going to start my bootcamp with flatiron in 4 weeks now, and I was nervous but listening to you just reminded me to be strong and positive. Thank you thank you and thank you!!

[@yordin25]

I had watched your flatiron school houston bootcamp video review and I had decided to start coding before watching your video. Watching it was like an extra boost to learning how to code and I had decided to apply for the flatiron school bootcamp too. To my surprise I got accepted and now I will be attending the bootcamp in July of this year. I took your advice in working hard and trying to study what I was taught in the prep for the interview. It was very nerve wrecking. Just like to say thank you for posting your bootcamp video and this one too it makes me want to work even harder.

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

Woo hoo, congrats!

[@karlaa4242]

Hello I want to apply and I’ve been watching all this vids and this is the path I want to take in my like. I’ve been working for a investment firm for 4 years now and I want a change. I’ve been so frustrated trying to figure out what I want to do in life. I don’t want to get in debt again since I just got out of debt but if I can obtain a good job as a software engineer then I’m all in

[@jakehardy5997]

How’s it going so far?

[@GuddaTV32]

Very motivational! Something to look forward to 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@cajjames6171]

I love your vids... I'm still torn between starting coding with nooooo experience... I moved to Houston a year ago and have been following your vids... You're such an inspiration to me!!

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

You can do it!

[@leonj6937]

Your videos made me consider Flatiron School and here I am in Mod 4 of the SE program in NYC. I love your energy and I look forward to seeing more!! Any golden nuggets of wisdom/advice, keep dropping them in the videos as well. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

This seriously warmed my heart!!! Thank you!

[@webluxdesigns2176]

Such an inspiration you are!! Made me excited to join Flatiron School. You staying positive in these tough times makes me feel I need to do the same with my work/lifestyle of having a toddler and full-time job while being home.

[@ToNGa16WoNGa2010]

Yay!!! I love seeing videos from you. So everyone else in my cohort graduated and they switched me to part time and I’m giving myself this week to finish and graduate so I can work on my portfolio and side projects. Can you make a video explaining Ruby like introductory concepts lol

[@schawnettarobinson8584]

I love your energy, spirit, and optimism. You inspired me to keep going. In addition, I learned stumbling blocks will occur, however, sometimes it will be a blessing in disguise to setup for a better comeback to strengthen my skills.

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

Yessssss!

[@deidrascott8871]

When you said said you oh just moved into your new home, I was like, “oooooooh”. Congratulations girl?

GREAT INFO!!!! Congratulations!!!!😎

[@TimeisUp22]

🙏🏾 Just subscribed! I needed this. I’m so afraid to join an bootcamp because I’m not getting much help, and everyone is saying it’s difficult. But I needed to hear from another mom woc that this 20k debt has a job guarantee and is worth it. 😩

[@KarimaBurdette]

Hi Kerena, Im in a similar decision making process. Deciding on taking the leap now which I am closer in my deciding. I finally made a decision on which IT field I want to study. The investment is worth it, it will be difficult but you can do it and will have support. Fear is good because you are thinking and in this field you must think and think some more lol. Take their free course, navigate through it to get a better idea. Best of luck

[@jane9peter9]

Olivia great video! I am looking forward for your videos.

[@heathermclauren4435]

Awesome! So excited for you and its so amazing to see a past Flatiron Student killin it. I am currently at Flatiron School in their Online Data Science track and I'm located in Houston. I know you are located there as well from your last Flatiron video and I wanted to know if you knew any good networking groups in the area for Tech in Houston? Trying to expand my network because I have 2 months left in my cohort!

Hi how has things been since you’ve graduated? Are you currently working in the field?

[@mikeservizio1279]

If only Flatiron Scam invested as much on their actual bootcamp (buggy platform, unqualified teachers...) as they do on their shady practices (fake reviews, misleading marketing tactics...)

[@jeremylee1498]

Can you do a video explaining what resources or tools you used to master loops?

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

I got you!

[@monirush18]

so before you begin flatiron to become a jr software engineer, do you have to know how to do coding?

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

You take the bootcamp prep course to learn the basics then you can apply to the school.

do you think it's possible to be in college and do the bootcamp at the same time? I am going into my sophomore year of college but I do want to join the bootcamp.

I think it would be quite difficult. You can expect to spend around 60 hours a week toward your bootcamp coursework.
