Reps
These drills focus on getting reps - or repetitive actions - around the things that you need to:
- Interview well, and confidently.
- Perform on the job, with ease - using what you have learned here.
Introducing the 5 Pillars - by Trevor
From 0:30 to 5:30 on Trevor's video below - the discussion of the 5 pillars can help you prepare for much of what you need as a foundation for the reps linked below and at left. (Watching the entire video is not required.)
Reps and CheckIn Schedule -
Reps == Repetition == Muscle Memory
With these reps that we do as a team or a group, we are pumping skills and understanding deeper into our muscle memory.
Reps Motivation
Let $ be your motivator. Think of yourself as attending reps sessions only to jack up your paycheck. A well rehearsed and well informed coder would almost always get a bigger paycheck, especially on your first job.
Reps on anything can be boring, because - by definition, they are [wait for it] repetitive. Coding reps are no different.
Potential Benefits
- Get employed sooner.
- Inspire interviewers to offer you an extra $10k to $20k
- Increased confidence at interview time.
- Feel dramatically more solid on the job.
- Get that first raise sooner/bigger.
How do we know that these are possible? Because when our graduates have this extra experience, we have seen one or more of these happen.
It is a top priority for every bootcamper to have this opportunity.
Scheduling Notes
There are 2 sessions each for Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays. This allows you a second choice, when one schedule doesn't work.
We can also arrange other approaches when required:
- 1-1 sessions whenever the team approach isn't the right one
- Specially scheduled slots such as might be necessary for European or other differences.
