Bootcamp Alumni: we are doing the first ever free πŸŽ‰ Formation Day open house on October 1st and I wanted to invite you all to join! Hi everyone, I've gotten to know some awesome people on here over the past six months and it's cool to see them already finishing up bootcamps I recommended to them way back when! I wanted to invite bootcamp alumni to join Formation Day on Saturday, October 1st at 9am PST! It's a **FREE** jam-packed day of FAANG-level interview prep. Our team is putting a lot of work into creating a really useful day for people and we hope you can attend and get a lot of value out of it! This event is generally targeted at people who are working already and exploring changing jobs, or are bootcamp or computer science graduates who have been interviewing actively. It is unfortunately not meant for people looking to get into bootcamps, but as always, I'm happy to give my 2 cents of advice if you are looking to break into tech. The big highlights of Formation Day are: πŸŽ‰ Workshops with engineers and recruiters from Airbnb, Meta, and Google πŸŽ‰ Hands on coding drills to benchmark and practice your skills πŸŽ‰ A personalized training plan to take with you Finally, we’ll be selecting 50 engineers to participate in the full Formation Day program but will have a session about The Engineering Method that is open to everyone who registers. Register here >>>>> [https://fm.dev/day](https://fm.dev/day) Or ask me questions in the comments, I try to be very responsive on Reddit!

If you graduated or will be graduating soon, how would you know that we went to a boot camp?

Anyone can sign up, that's just the intended audience to help target the post. We will be doing an assessment and reviewing people's backgrounds.

I am actually going to be applying for the full Formation program today once my referral from a current participant comes through. Would you suggest signing up for this as well, or will I get some of these same things from the full program?

Hi! You can sign up for Formation Day as well if you want, it does legitimately have limited availability and there are already thousands of applicants so there's no guarantees there. It's a unique day of some larger sessions, and some 1-1 pair sessions with feedback and you'll get to use our tools and platform in a much more limited/introductory way. So overall, I would say it's a fairly independent event from day-to-day normal Formation.
