Flatiron Coding Bootcamp - Q&A

[@hancorinne]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I just finished my first week of the online program with flatiron and I’ve cried so many times but still pushing forward. Only 4 months and 3 weeks to go! Coming from no experience in tech and hearing your experience with flatiron has given me so much hope. Thank you!

My first week at flatiron was the most horrible week ever had in my life! I was crying constantly! I just graduated may 2020 and I am now one month old working with c# too! Looking back at those day I would say! Just take the pain and be stronger because you will get something nice! For me “extra advice” was forcing myself to study all the time!! Even weekends!! Because I knew it will be 4months and then relax will come! Take the most advantage of it! Learn ! Fail! And get up again!!!! It’s just trusting the process!!

@@sumayakhair5594 Thank you SO MUCH for this advice! I've been questioning all my life choices up to this point lol but I'm determined to push through! And it's definitely a lesson in building better habits for myself! Thank you for sharing your experience! Do you have instagram or something you're comfortable with me following you on? I'm trying to make more software engineering friends! lol If not no worries at all! Hope you have a great day : )

How to prepare for admission coding bootcamp?please tell me

[@thecodinggrizzly7383]

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing your experience and answering those questions. I also went to Flatiron School, and it was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but extremely rewarding.

International student can get f1 visa for coding bootcamp?

[@maxiandlena]

[@David-zm7mi]

I'm in the midst of discovering whether a computer science career is right for me. This video is super motivating!

[@monam4062]

Thank you for this!! Have you posted a sample of your Flatiron Application?

[@itstime9986]

Hey Livie, Thanks for creating this video. It answered a lot of my questions and concerns about joining a bootcamp. So a little about me, I’m a full time Computer/Business Ed middle school teacher. I have some background in IT as a QA Systems Analyst and Technical Support Specialist. I’m married with a 9 month old daughter. I’m enrolled to start Flatiron part time online program in November. I recently just watched a video by two guys that graduated from Flatiron and they claimed that they would not go through another bootcamp because they charge way too much for the program that you could research and do in your own. What do you think about that?

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

Everyone is different, but personally I loved being held accountable by a program, access to help, and a certfication that holds weight.

[@haileycodes3593]

Hey Livie! I am currently a flatiron student. I love hearing about your experiences during and what it has been like for you since graduating! I just create my own channel to share my journey. Thanks for being an inspiration!

[@ericagrundy6219]

I love you! You give me hope, you are so positive, and because of you, I am going to try Flatiron. Please, if you can, make the video about your application to the school. :)

[@jamesbaxter222]

I really would like to see your application. How does flatiron and potential employers feel about hiring a junior developer without a degree. I’m asking because I do not have one, and I am weighing either going to community college which is offering free tuition(2 year associate degree program) or pursuing flatiron.

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

I have a video about that on my channel, I also do not about a degree :)

[@wokovencooking]

Yes, can you please share a video on your application?

[@iamenvymetoo]

Im going through the bootcamp prep for Data Science now and it's INTENSE. Unless you are already a programmer I cant see how someone can go start the full bootcamp without completing it.

[@Bivens84]

What about flatiron made you decide this was the camp for you?

[@LivieTheDeveloper]

Its the number one bootcamp in the country :)

[@curtisdavis8594]
