So far so good
Very user friendly interface…helped me maintain my coding streak for over 60 days straight (and on going). Learning has been a pretty smooth process so far, with a few issues here and there with instructor replacement and some class cancellations… but overall, I am five months into the course and its worth the investment so far. - Sanjana PatelGraduate • Scaler Academy • OnlineJun 21, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Helpful for non tech to tech transitions, covers all the basics
Transitioning to a new job can be hard, and even more difficult when the field is new and you’re from a non IT background… but Scaler gave me the much needed push for taking that leap… The platform gave my days a structure and discipline that helped me remain consistent onwards my goal. Big thanks to my mentor for his support without whose help and motivation I would have dropped out of the course probably in the first two months. - Kartik GuptaSr Software Engineer • Graduate • Scaler Academy • OnlineJun 18, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Helped with my transition
Though I come from a CS background, I lacked in data structures, algorithms, and machine learning. Stuck in a service-based job, I aimed to switch to product-based work but lacked the skills.

The pressure to constantly upskill can feel overwhelming. Scaler boarded the upskilling trend too like many other Ed Techs but as far as curriculum goes, I found it to be a pleasant surprise.

Challenging but worth it
The course is NOT for beginners.
And no I don’t mean it about the fundamentals…i am talking about your will to learn.
For 9 months, you have to learn how to manage your time and commitments in the best way possible or you will fall behind very easily
You have to dedicate at least 2-3 hours to self study apart from classes to keep up
Never skip or miss your sessions with your mentor…that’s where the most learning happens

Try to maintain a coding streak…aim for at least a 100 days total. It will help you develop coding intuition
Lastly just dont keep to yourself but try to network and build connections with the community. More often than not your peers are the one’s who get you a job referral

Nice 👍
Started my journey after completing engineering in 2013. Felt stuck with my skills and wanted to grow further and that's why Joined Scaler to learn and improve. Before, i only studied algorithms, now applying them at work also which is good. Scaler changed my mindset and approach to work. Now, happily employed at FISGlobal. I would say thanks to the guidance from Anshuman and mentoring from Suchit. my expereince was nice and smooth

So I joined Scaler to improve in string manipulation and dynamic programming... but I was pleasantly surprised to learn so much more than expected. I got better in other areas like DSA and algorithms…which really helped me grow as a programmer.

I took up problem solving daily and my longest coding streak has been 300+ days continuously. Big thanks to my mentor for motivating me.
The career team goes above and beyond to help learners…I sat for more interviews in the last few months alone than i have for years.
Overall a mostly positive experience. Just one complaint…customer support can be faster in resolving issues…

But i took the leap anyway and it turned out to be so worth the trouble i faced at the start. In the early days i used to not even sleep thinking i had made a big mistake but the team at scaler helped me overcome my worst struggles and gave me a new start in life.
Today i am a farmer’s son turned software engineer, thanks to scaler… and couldn’t be prouder of how far i have come. Forever in debt of my wonderful teachers and mentor.
