What Should I Expect?

I help prepare people for software engineering roles, period. You probably know by now that there are a ton of different areas of software development and you may be wondering what areas we tend to focus on...

First off, we focus on core engineering principles. Skills that make learning all other skills easier. These include things like system design, data structures and algorithms, interviewing, source control, cloud computing, writing good code, building real projects, etc. These are skills that are valuable for all disciples of software engineering. 

That being said, for applied coding, I tend to focus more on backend software engineering. This includes building out APIs, working with databases, AWS, docker, etc.

I do this because I believe you have the highest chance of learning valuable skills that let you stand out in the industry. Plus, the pay for backend engineering is one of the highest!

This image is from the 2024 Stack Overflow Survey, which gives us a decent starting point when looking at salaries. 

Not only is backend software engineering nearly the highest paid discipline (second to only mobile development), but it is an area with much less competition compared to other roles. Just think of how many full stack devs  are out there from all of the coding bootcamps that are 80% frontend. 

Most courses and bootcamps focus too much on the frontend, ignoring the things most likely to help you stand out. We focus on skills that software engineers should understand and be able to apply to real world apps. 

We flip things around and focus first on the backend, giving us a much higher chance at a higher salary and a smaller set of learning requirements compared to a full stack role. 

Think about it. Would you rather learn the backend and make $170K, or would you prefer to learn the backend AND the frontend to make only $130K?  It's a no brainer... Go for what requires less and pays more.  

We welcome devs of all types and have helped people who don't only do backend, but we can't help everybody with everything. If you need help with backend, system design, or real world engineering (such as building your own software) this program is for you.
