GBReally great community Really great community! The coaches are extremely helpful and responsive to any coding or non-technical questions that I have! Codebreakers also offers students with technical classes and mock interviews! Those resources are organized very well and I learned a lot of them. My interview skills definitely was taken to the next level after 2 years joining Codebreakers! I ended up with two internship offers at Redfin and Playstation.

GBGreat Interview prep Got some very good tips for interview, learnt python in practically 2 days so well that I could immediately code leetcode mediums in python (had prior experience in java). This was a boost for me since coding in python is at least 2x faster than that in java. Really well defined course structure and details. Very nice and respectable people.

AUDoubled my salary 💰💰 I have 8 years of software engineering experience and joined Codebreakers more than a year ago. I use to meet coaches on a weekly basis. It helped me improve algorithms and data structures which were absolutely required for clearing the Faang interviews. Coaches helped me with the mock interviews, resume preparation and job search strategy. I got a job with Bloomberg and almost doubled my salary. I would recommend Codebreakers if you are interested in securing Software Engineer roles with big brands.

GBGreat 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.

GBGreat interview preparation coaching The coaches are really helpful in preparing the students for technical interviews. They help students how to approach technical problems, how to effectively communicate, and how to take hints from the interviewer.
