Galvanize vs General Assembly vs Flatiron School. I'm looking at the 13-15 week immersive in-person courses for each, in Denver. Seems like the differences would be in: -The instructor -Networking -Classmates (acceptance rate) -Tutors I'm coming into this with 4 years as a financial analyst, worked under a bloodthirsty CFO, now work on larger engineering projects. But, I have relatively little programming experience, learning Python and SQL aggressively now. I'd quit my job and do this all-in. Current TC is $59k and I dont see going above 80-85k soon unless I switch tracks. What course should I pick? Should I consider anything else e.g. part tim courses and look for a new job concurrently, or go all in?
Any room to apply data science to your current role?
The current role has a lot of project management learning experiences, so that is another possible track for me. But, basically no options to apply data science as it is - too structured and too accounting oriented.
I'm literally learning both right now. I'm doing YouTube videos and courses I bought online.
By "both" you mean Python and SQL I imagine? I am too, online courses are $10 or $15, so about a thousand times less than a full bootcamp. But I currently work quite a lot, makes it challenging to really make leaps and bounds with those skills.
Yeah, it's so much cheaper but I get to save money and learn immediately. I'd imagine I'd first learn theory and then actually build applications. I'd first create my own projects that I think would benefit me the most. Trying to learn how to automate Excel reporting.
