Data Science Career Track Review for Full-time Working Person
P.S. I took this class while busy working full time during this pandemic
This program is not just a classroom. It is something new to me since I've only been in traditional school or classroom. I think what Springboard taught me is pretty practical and on top of that, the mentor. Imagine if you have a TA but this is from the industry, that's my experience with my mentor.

This program is not just a classroom. It is something new to me since I've only been in traditional school or classroom. I think what Springboard taught me is pretty practical and on top of that, the mentor. Imagine if you have a TA but this is from the industry, that's my experience with my mentor.
More than just the curriculum, what I found very helpful is the job search support. Of course, I could not speak that much since I have not found a job as DS yet, but I do feel like it's helpful. Instead of just blindly applying for jobs posted on job boards, I was taught more methodically profound approach (which hopefully I can testify with a success in the near future).
The cons - it's quite overwhelming. Unless you have DS background or similar, you would need to work hard to get as much as possible from this program. For me personally, it was quite too much at times. I allocated times after finishing the program to actually review / relearning data science from other articles to sharpen my data science skills. Do you have to do the same? probably not. During my review, I found I picked up the materials pretty fast. Doing review on your own will give you extra confidence in your knowledge but it'd come back to you. - Dmitriy PolumiskovGraduate • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

There were a few projects and subunits that were confusing or hard to followup but the Springboard team is great at soliciting feedback and improving its curriculum based on that feedback.

I did not have any tech background and I was searching for all the available options for in-person and online DS bootcamps in NYC. After careful comparison and considering the situation of pandemic, I chose Springboard and it has been a rewarding journey. There are several aspects I like about the experience: 1. the course material is well-selected and covers all the basics for a junior data scientist. 2. My mentor has been very helpful through the whole process and I think it is a good training for me to find the best questions to ask and communicate in the limited time. 3. Springboard tries to support me with all kind of tech support(code review, weekly Q&A meetings) to make up for the difficulty of online learning. 4. Springboard offers job guarantee and the career coach is the best I ever had and Springboard is trying hard to prepare the students with job market from day 1.
There are things to consider as well: I was doing it full-time and it took me 8 months to finish. If you are very busy schedule with your life and have no coding experience before like me, it needs a lot of efforts to stay on track. Also, you have to be able to learn independently because there are no TAs around you all the time.
Overall, I like the Springboard community and I believe they are doing a great job in preparing their students for the future jobs. - Georgia HoegenUI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInNov 16, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Very dense curriculum (needs curating) | Excellent career services
The curriculum was way denser than I expected, with A LOT of articles to read and I think it needs to be curated more, because a lot of them say the same thing in a different form. I did the course full-time, as I was unemployed, and finished it in 5 months; it basically occupied my whole time, including the week-ends.
Especially in the beginning of the course, it was pretty hard to follow because there was a lot to read and very little practical stuff - but it got much better as the ...The curriculum was way denser than I expected, with A LOT of articles to read and I think it needs to be curated more, because a lot of them say the same thing in a different form. I did the course full-time, as I was unemployed, and finished it in 5 months; it basically occupied my whole time, including the week-ends.
Especially in the beginning of the course, it was pretty hard to follow because there was a lot to read and very little practical stuff - but it got much better as the course progressed and more practical assignments came up. The 1:1 mentor calls were priceless, with the assigned mentor as well as the additional mentor calls. The IDP (Industry Design Project) wasn't the best match (I was asked about my preferences but it all depends on the available projects, and people assumed that I'd be ok with doing something related to my old career, which wasn't the case at all), but with the help of my mentor I managed to turn it into a good portfolio piece.
The career services were excellent, throughout the course and also after it was finished (6 months of career services are included after the end of the curriculum). I got a job offer in 2 months after completing the course (after a month of more actively applying), which I accepted. And yes, it was through networking. So overall it was well worth it and I would highly recommend it.

I loved everything about springboard, Colt Steel is an awesome instructor and it takes some amazing character to make over 100 hours of video content that does not bore students! the modules are really well thought out, the exercises are very good, not to mentions that there is an exercise for almost everything you learn, and further study exercises too.
The most important part about springboard in my opinion that students are matched with mentors, this is crucial because it's not just the weekly calls that counts, it's all those long emails and showing you different ways of solving a problem or writing code that really counts, having a mentor that shares his/her experience with you is invaluable.
The student success team is really great, they are quite supportive, helping with time management and organization are very important since there is so much to learn.
Another important aspect of the course is the career modules, every few weeks, a non-technical module will be up, where students would have to work towards finding a job, be it building a resume, crafting an elevator pitch, networking, doing mock interviews and so on, at the end of those modules, you can book a call with a career coach to discuss progress and get feedback.
Students also have access to TAs who are very helpful, responsive, and really good software engineers, the course also gives you access to many students in your cohort or otherwise in a slack group, I was personally involved in a study group that has impacted me a lot, knowing that others share your struggles and victories is important.
Conclusion: this is an amazing course, It's obvious that the good people of springboard have spent so many hours thinking and planning and I could not have been more satisfied with the overall experience, I highly recommend it.- Arnaldo AlonsoGraduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInNov 11, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I think their curriculum could be better. I had to supplement a lot of it with books, YouTube, and courses on LinkedIn Learning.

Excellent student support; committed to student's success
I took (and completed) the UX Career Track at Springboard. It consists of a well-planned curriculum, designed to guide the students in creating projects for their portfolios. You end up with three different projects/case studies to include in your portfolio, which is great. I also liked how we were free to choose the topic/problem area for our own capstone projects, which is not an option in every bootcamp. I also appreciated having a dedicated mentor, with whom I checked in every week. ...I took (and completed) the UX Career Track at Springboard.

Interspersed with the curriculum are career/job-focused units, which help you prepare your resumé and LinkedIn, and gives you guidance in networking, informational interviewing, job interviewing and more, each with one-on-one meetings with a dedicated career coach.
I was truly impressed with the support of Springboard, and felt the entire staff, mentors, career coaches, were all dedicated to the student's success.
If I had to come up with a "con" it would be that a few units relied on outdated or irrelevant articles. That said, they have an excellent mode of receiving feedback from the students, so it was easy to let them know of areas of improvement. - Justin KorfElectronics Engineer • Graduate • UX Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInOct 16, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Springboard encourages networking with meetups and conventions
The coursework was challenging and did a good job explaining what the goals were. After completion I feel much more comfortable doing projects on my own.
Even after the coarse is over they still support you throughout your job search, by reviewing offers, and helping prepare for interviews.
Cons: Sometimes you can be paired with a mentor that you do not vibe with. That is ok, we all learn differently and have different styles of receiving information. Just communicate with springboard.
Sometimes the coursework will seam out of date or will have a standard that is not practiced anymore within the industry. Your mentor will normally be first to point this out, so it's easily corrected.

I'd hear other people say, "can that be self-taught?" or "isn't there a quicker way?". I knew from the start that UX is a craft and it'd be a huge investment, both financially and personally. Rather than trying to figure out what you need to learn, Springboard's curriculum gives you a clear understanding of the field and all that you can expect when performing the job of a UX Designer. Springboard did a fantastic job of providing learning resources, which ranged from articles, videos, Ted Talks, and hands-on activities that would allow you to grasp design concepts. It was an excellent starting point! This field is all about continuously learning and Springboard will show you what you need to be learning in order to improve your craft. Not only that, but your assigned mentor is a UX professional and they'll walk you through everything to make sure you're fully equipped to be a design professional. These mentors are the real deal!! Talking directly to industry professionals who want to get you to industry standard is incredibly valuable.
Although it took me a little longer than 6 months to complete the program, I've come out of the program feeling incredibly prepared to continue learning about the field and positioning myself for a job. I'll highlight the outcomes of this program: I have a portfolio, I was able to work with a real client, I've gained all the skills necessary for the job, I'm building a network of designers, and I'm about to start receiving full support as I job hunt. I had a phenomenal experience and I couldn't see myself pursuing design any other way!
