Bootcamp training, is it worth it?

Question

IT education

Good evening. I want to learn how to program and make money on it (zero experience). To learn about such a phenomenon as a bootcamp, I found courses from Moscow Coding School and Yandex. Workshop. At Moscow Coding School, I was advised to start with web development. And then the question is: is it worth it? As far as I understand, in the West there is a system where you give a percentage of the salary after the end of the course and employment, and the course is essentially free. That is, course owners are interested in your employment. We have everything as I understand it a little differently. And I don’t really want to give 5,000 kopecks a month (80,000 in the end) for a dummy. Can competent people share their experience and opinion? And if you can give an approximate salary level for a beginner in web development, subject to remote work?

Answer 1

Courses are not needed in any form, including bootcamps.

Answer 2

Check the real reviews about the courses, then, if you learn from scratch, even a year will not be enough for many. And look at critical reviews about the profession of a programmer, because. then people work for half a year and complain about burnout, that coding is worse than working as a loader, and so on. Pay 80k for courses (5k per month), look at how much an hour of work of a normal specialist costs and think about what they can tell you for 5-6k per month. Our free courses are mainly stepik, coursera, after which you can look for free programs with an internship device. In any case, from scratch, you need to study 30-40 hours a week in order to reach the trainee level in 7 months (7 months, if you are good at it, many need more than a year, because a certain area of ​​​​programming drags a stack of technologies , which seem to experienced people that it is impossible not to know, but for a beginner it is difficult. So, if I were you, I would look for free courses + a free / cheap mentor who will explain incomprehensible things sometimes.

Answer 3

If everything is fine with English, then you can take a couple of courses at the free code camp. There's a lot on the web. If everything is bad with English, I would start by correcting this problem, because there are many times less quality free materials in Russian. For starters, you can still look for playlists with courses on the technology of interest on YouTube, there are many step-by-step lessons, even in Russian. You can also look at coursera and edX. Everything is mostly in English, but there is a little more in Russian. In general, I see no reason to pay a lot of money for information that is freely available. You just need to google and learn. You can find good books on programming. And most importantly, gain experience, and not stupidly follow instructions.

Answer 5

Обучение в буткемпе, стоит ли оно того?

Да, конечно, иди. Пообщаешься, отдохнешь. Смена обстановки это же круто. Правда ты вряд-ли чему-то там научишься.

И если можно дать примерный уровень зарплаты новичке в веб разработке при условии удаленной работы?

50-70к, слышал что-то про 120к на старте - но в реале не сталкивался.
