When I started in my first tech role there was a steep learning curve as you would expect with any job, but thanks to Command Shift, I felt like I had a really strong foundation to build from. The course does a great job at teaching core skills and technologies that are relevant and used within the industry, so I felt like my first role was a natural progression of the experience that I had already gained from building projects and working in groups with other students.
I would say that I completely understand why someone would be on the fence, I was the same, it's a big decision! Looking back now though, completing the course has been the best thing I've ever done and has given me a career that I could only dream about in the past. Knowing what I know now, I would say, go for it!
I also got a sense from my very first interactions with the Command Shift team that there was a level of transparency and a human side that I didn’t feel from other courses or bootcamps. Having been through the course, my initial impression was 100% accurate. It was also about balance, as I was working full time and a lot of other bootcamps that I researched wanted full time attendance, meaning I would have to quit my job and go all in. Command Shift felt like a great way to tap into tailored guidance from teachers within the industry and career switch without feeling like I was risking everything.
