Develop Yourself

Thinking about joining a coding bootcamp to land a job in three months?

Let’s get real.

In this episode, I’ll share four critical skills that most bootcamps overlook—but that you’ll absolutely need if you’re serious about making coding your career.

We’ll cover why bootcamps fall short, what skills really get you hired, and how to ensure you’re not just another bootcamp grad struggling to land a job.
