Great Program for Aspiring Software Engineers! I highly recommend Coachable to anyone who is looking to start their career in Software Engineering. I used Coachable when I was transitioning from a career in finance to SWE. Before Coachable, I was self-studying, taking online courses, using textbooks, and working on a couple personal projects. This all gave me a good base of knowledge, and Coachable was the right next step to prepare me for the job market. Here are the primary reasons I recommend Coachable to others in a similar situation: 1) Coachable will keep you focused. There are seemingly infinite different paths one can go down when studying and preparing for coding interviews on their own. Before starting with Coachable, I struggled with either spending too much time on a specific topic or getting distracted by doing too much at once. Coachable provides a clear schedule and curriculum that makes sure you focus on what matters, and that you don't move past a topic until you prove that you understand it. 2) There's no replacement for 1-on-1 mentorship. For me, by far the biggest benefit of using Coachable was the opportunity to talk 1-on-1 with my coach (who was a current SWE at a big tech company with 3 YOE) multiple times a week. When studying on my own, if a concept didn't immediately click for me, I found it difficult to seek out and find a different explanation online that did resonate with me. I would spend lots of time reading the same "tutorial"-level explanations, but if I had a specific technical question I needed answered to unlock my understanding, I often couldn't find it. When I started with Coachable, I noticed the pace of my *actual* learning increase exponentially. What I was missing was the instant feedback-loop from being able to discuss a concept with an experienced engineer. With that feedback, if I was not understanding something (or worse, misunderstanding something), I could immediately have that corrected by talking it through with my coach. 3) Live coding practice. In addition to reviewing the curriculum with your coach, you get the chance to have frequent live coding practice. My coaching sessions would often start with a short coding problem based on the curriculum I had recently covered. For me, it was very helpful to practice coding in front of another person, explaining my thought process as I worked through the question and the solution, and receiving feedback at the end. With sufficient practice, this can go a long way in improving your performance in actual coding interviews. 4) Career focus. Coachable understands the job market and understands what skills employers are looking for. Before Coachable, I was reacting to skills I would see listed in job postings, trying to cast to wide a net for myself (back-end + full stack). With Coachable, I was proactive about the skills I was learning and I stayed focused on preparing myself for a back-end role at a tech company, which is what I truly wanted. 5) The payment structure. Unlike a bootcamp, where you could invest thousands of dollars upfront with no assurances of it leading to employment, Coachable does it right. They get paid if you get a job. That is the right way to structure a program like this, and it helps lower the barrier to entry.

Excellent Organization CodeBreaker is a great place if you are searching to land a job at your dream company. The great coaches helped me navigate through the whole job searching process. The comprehensive videos on Teachable were of great help. Coach Darek also went above and beyond in answering my questions, mock interviewing and guiding me in the right direction through the job searching process. I was able to land a job at my dream company through this program. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to land their dream jobs at a tech company.

Crack Code ! Had a great time learning from the folks at Code Breakers! Referred multiple friends so one could arrive at a learning platform. Now looking forward to enhance my knowledge by working on data structures and algorithms with the mentors. Can't describe how helpful Coach Darek was to me throughout this learning process. Regards

Talk to Darek! Darek and Derek are very supportive and encouraging. They not only know the topics they teach but also have a lot of patience to step through solutions and drive home the concept. The ample availability of mock interviews is a big positive, and possibly the best feature of CodeBreakers. If one has their aim fixed on FAANG with a good amount of time allocated to study, I'd say CodeBreakers would significantly increase the likelihood of success.

My experience with CodeBreakers was… My experience with CodeBreakers was excellent. They're very structured and their resources are amazing. Coach Darek really cares about you and your future and his pep talks before interviews have you feeling like you can conquer the world. His support throughout the process was amazing. All my coaches were very understanding and helpful. They walked through the process from being a bad interviewee to a better one through the one on one classes and the mock interviews. I would 10/10 recommend.
