• Switching careers

  Https://lambdaschool.com/ - a remote-first bootcamp that has a unique way of paying. No upfront cost, but they take a % of your salary when you get a job for the first two years until you pay their full cost.

• Advice for a nurse that wants to become a programmer

  While you don't need a boot camp, I highly recommend Lambda School (https://lambdaschool.com). They charge nothing upfront and you only pay them back (17% up to $30k) when you get a high paying job. They have great partnerships with employers and help place students so that's the biggest reason I recommend them. Source: over 2 years ago

• looking to change careers

  The only boot camp that makes sense would be something like https://lambdaschool.com/. You pay them nothing upfront and instead give them a share of your salary post being hired. Unlike the money-grab boot camps in Vancouver, these guys at least have some incentive to make sure you can actually get a job and maintain it. But for now they arent available in Canada so keep an eye out or just pretend you are an... Source: almost 3 years ago

  Since then, programs such as OnDeck, Revature, and Lambda School are looking to revolutionize this space, while more specialized courses such as Write of Passage explore topics such as how to write effectively to an online audience (if I had to guess, these are only the beginning of a much larger trend).

• It feel like the leadup to another Great Depression in America

  Things like lambda school https://lambdaschool.com/ are attempting to “democratize software engineering” by allowing people to learn the basics without a 4 year college degree. It will be interesting to see if this has a material impact on the job market in the mid and long term. Anecdotally I’ve seen the software engineer hiring process become more and more competitive. I think it’s the result of a runaway... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Zero Experience, Want to start Career with AWS?

• What is Naval’s view on going to college? Does he think that it is worth the time, money and opportunity cost that it implies?

  I’m not sure if he’s spoken on it specifically but I think given his thoughts on the abundance of free knowledge out there and freedom in life, I don’t think he’s a fan. Potentially interested in concepts like Lambda School that kind of rework the traditional concept of college. This is all aside from professions where it’s absolutely necessary to go to school like a surgeon. The things he appears to see value in... Source: about 3 years ago

  Why not a dev bootcamp? I realize some are likely better than others, but their one mission is to help people like you to get into the field. Not sure if there is any policy here about it, but one option I heard good things about (though no direct experience) is https://lambdaschool.com/ and they sponsor (or at least used to) your tuition by taking a small percentage from your salary after you get a job.
