Too Long; Didn't Read

I went to a coding bootcamp recently and learned a lot of the things I wish I knew before. These were the things that would have helped me set realistic expectations. The hardest part of the program will probably be the job search. The mental game is completely brutal, and you’ll fail over and over. You learn grit, perseverance (lifelong skills for continued success) You learn work ethic, bond with people you struggle together with and gain confidence in yourself. You will be depressed and anxious (prioritize mental health!)
