![]() When I was interviewing for jobs, this proved incredibly useful and has given me confidence starting my first full-time job. There is also cold-calling during lectures which terrified me at first, but has improved my ability to speak on technical topics. During code reviews, the instructors would not only comment on the logic of our code but also on documentation and testing. The instructors at Rithm are deeply invested in your learning and growth and even check-up on you once the program ends.Ĭurriculum - In addition to what you read online about the curriculum (Python & JS, company projects, etc), I thought Rithm also did a great job of stressing what it means to be a professional developer. They were patient, funny, caring, and so talented, and I would join the program again just to be taught by them. INCREDIBLE instructors - I studied engineering at a good university and have been taught by great professors, but somehow Elie & Joel (& Brit as the TA) exceeded my previous experiences. ![]() I was amazed by how often my peers would share tips throughout the program or job openings after the program, and it really felt like everyone wanted each other to succeed as much as themselves. Everyone at Rithm is talented and motivated while being caring and pushing others to grow as developers. With pair programming, cold calls, and a great classroom atmosphere, I was able to feel really close to everyone in the program even though it was all remote. Small class size & collaborative culture - my class was 10 people with 2 instructors and 1 TA. Why I chose Rithm (& would chose it again!!): Below is a quick summary of my experience: I thought after reading so many glowing reviews that Rithm wouldn't live up to the hype, but it really is as incredible as others say! I received an offer at my dream company, The New York Times, 3 weeks after graduating from Rithm, which I truly don't think would have happened if I hadn't attended Rithm (side note: this was really fast and I do think part of it was definitely luck, but part of it was also attending a bootcamp that gave me the skills and confidence to succeed in an interview just a few weeks after graduating). Overall, Rithm School is a great community of instructors, students, and alumni who genuinely care about getting you prepared for and educated in this industry. Zach (the Career Coach) did a great job of getting us ready for the job search and was always available for questions and assistance after the bootcamp ended. Leaving the bootcamp, I felt fully prepared for both the interview and job search process along with whatever job would come my way. Frankly, I sought out Rithm because I knew it would push me, and that's exactly what I got. The work is definitely challenging, but the guidance from the instructors was excellent and the small cohort size made it very easy to ask questions and get hands on assistance with any concept, or project. I always felt the work we were doing or the concepts we were learning were highly practical tools that we would need in the job, and now that I'm in the workforce, I see just how true that is. Rithm is an incredible bootcamp and I had a great experience! The material is very relevant and constantly updating to keep up with the technology trends in the industry. ![]() Upon graduation, students receive mentorship from a career coach who can help with connections to companies requiring tech skills, including open opportunities with partner companies, including Slow Ventures network. ![]() The final weeks of the Rithm School program involves job readiness preparation and real-time practice. Rithm School will notify students if they are accepted, or suggest more study and a repeat interview. The application process is multi-step, including an online application a phone call with the Director of Admissions preparation for the technical interview using a free JavaScript prep course and a visit to the campus for the problem-solving-focused technical interview. Rithm School was founded in 2016 in San Francisco, California to provide access to a full-time accelerated learning program, with class sizes small enough to provide one-on-one instruction with instructors who have experience in both teaching and web development. Rithm School aims to help students to not only gain a deep understanding of the industry but also graduate with a portfolio of real-world projects in which they have been involved. Their curriculum is centered around JavaScript and Python, and also covers PostgreSQL, Flask, Node, Express, React, Redux, and computer science fundamentals. Rithm School offers a full-time, 16-week, full stack web development immersion bootcamp in San Francisco, California and will be conducting cohorts remotely through the end of 2020.
