Weekly 'Entering & Transitioning' Thread. Questions about getting started and/or progressing towards becoming a Data Scientist go here.

What are your thoughts on Thinkful Data Science Bootcamp? If you have attended, what has been your experience with it?

I have a background in Health IT, but was looking to go into the data side of things. I am currently trying to learn coding languages such as SQL and Python through MOOCs such as Dataquest. However, I am considering a bootcamp as it may speed up the learning process and apply what I have learned. I also think the projects would be valuable towards learning the material and be an asset when applying for jobs as it will demonstrate what I can do. I am also planning on working while completing a part-time bootcamp.

I am considering Thinkful as it is flexible and allows students to complete it part-time, includes a number of projects, mentorship, and career services. The program is about $8,000.

Do you think these benefits are worth the cost of the program? Is there another approach, program, or bootcamp you would consider?

Thank you!
