Hey, I know the sentiment on here is rough and I bet some people will suggest you cancel it. I don't disagree with much of the negative sentiment but I do think there are some clear circumstances when a part time bootcamp would make sense 1. If you don't get a job afterwards you won't consider the tuition a massive waste of money and the cost won't impact your day to life significantly. 2. If you want to learn the materials rapidly more than getting a job. The job will be whipped cream on the sundae but it will be a sundae nonetheless. Put another way, you may or may not get a job at the end, but you strategically see this is a step of many that will eventually get you a job in data science/analytics.

Hey thanks for the response, I appreciate you taking the time to give some feedback. I would say I agree and I had a similar thought process when considering signing up this time. 1. I was able to get the data science program for a significant discount. With that said, if it doe

Yeah so regardless of what anyone says you are in a good position to try a bootcamp. There is some opportunity cost of what else you could do with the time, but everything in life has some kind of risk and nothing is certain.

Your account is three days old and references understanding this sub for a long time and has posted numerous negative opinions of me without strong rationale. Learn something from the dozen plus pro-Codesmith accounts that have done this and gotten suspended, including the official Team Codesmith account. You might not like me, but I make reasonable critical arguments and people come at me with wild opinions stated as facts. If you don't like my arguments, counter them with strong arguments and not loud opinions, and accept discussion about them. Significant Wing, no matter who they are, has been here consistently two years and whether you like what they say or not, has some history to judge who they are. Accounts with no context coming out of nowhere with strong opinions deserve zero trust. Trust must be earned and has nothing to do with how much you like someone.
