Do most people quit their full time job to dedicate to it? What is recommended for someone with no experience, but with a masters in CS who is working a non-cs field (like finance) in order to make the transition over?

Hey!
1. Most people do Formation part time, but you can do it with whatever workload you want. We adapt your sessions to your schedule.
2. Formation isn't currently for people without any real SWE work experience, even if you have a bachelor or masters in CS with adjacent experience. We are looking for 2+ years of real SWE work experience right now. You are paying us like a personal trainer to get in shape for interviews and for your job hunt and we aren't a short cut to a job that you can't get in any other way.
3. Unfortunately I don't have great advice for you. I would try to transition within your current company, but that's not a guaranteed path by any means.
