Transcript for Dev10
Kenneth Blaauw: Then and Now

I was searching for a way to break into 

tech that would challenge me prepare me 

well and position me to be marketable 

all without breaking the bank or time 

constraints of being a working adult 

that was important to me as i had a 

mortgage and other bills to support 

other boot camps or traditional 

university programs require either a 

large monetary investment or a 

significant amount of time to do the same 

there were several steps to the 

interview process there was like a 

single interview group interview group 

project self-guided project is 

abundantly clear that the dev 10 that 

dev10 cared about how well i would 

succeed in their program and ultimately 

in a tech role before deciding to hire me 

that being said this not mean i had any 

coding knowledge i had little to none 

when I entered the program and I 

appreciated that 

some other programs would take anyone 

they can as they can make money up front 

either way i really felt like my skills 

and my aptitude were assessed for success 

the instructors were absolute rock stars 

they took the time sometimes like late 

at night to make sure we had all of our 

questions answered i specifically stayed 

up many late nights with my instructor 

they were skilled in tech good at 

training and adapted their teaching to 

each trainee I felt challenged every single day 

i mean including on weekends when I had 

a big project to work on uh it was truly 

immersive and i felt i was exposed to a 

multitude of work environments that 

ultimately led me to be successful in my 

current consultant role
