Hi, I'm planning to join a bootcamp with a job guarantee program, but currently I'm still under contract for another year, so I want to study on my own in the mean time. I'd also like to make sure that I would graduate with the highest score so I'd have more leverage to negotiate salary. (Because the system is basically all of the partner companies go after the top candidates before moving on to students with lower scores). Honestly, the bootcamp is more like an expensive competency test with job placement platform than a learning platform lol.
note: Some of you may advice me against attending the bootcamp because it's expensive. I had thought about building my portfolio and applying for jobs on my own, but after asking around, not only would that take much longer, I'm afraid that the companies that would want to hire a non tech degree would offer low wages. So I'm willing to put in the investment.
I've looked at a lot of online learning platforms, was really interested in Coursera and EdX, but the techs they use aren't the same ones that will be taught on the bootcamp. FCC is too long, I only have a year, after all. So I'm currently looking only at Udemy.
The techs that will be used on the bootcamp are:
Here are the courses I'm interested in so far (Would be doing it in order):
