Hello everyone I came to the Incubator with knowledge of the front, gained mainly through the course of the Samurai's Reaction Path, little work experience in rather controversial companies and a great desire to work in a good place, so I decided to start teaching backend.
By the time I started my studies, I had already studied at the front for one and a half to two years, but with a poor system, few hours a week and completely alone. The incubator gave me a system and a clear path that I just had to follow and not merge. After 10-12 months of training in the incubator, with short breaks, I received my first offer in the backend.
On average, I didn't study as much as others - 5 hours a day, 25-30 a week. But everything is fickle here - there are days, weeks when you work for 12 hours a day, and sometimes you don't have the strength to write at least a line of code, open an article, answer a question to the bot all day. My advice to beginners is to learn a little bit, but every day, to develop a system for yourself and not merge, follow it - you do not need to go out of your way to fill as many hours as possible - because of the rush, you can both bury knowledge and burn out.
I've merged a couple of times myself-for a period of no more than a month. But I already had a lot of time spent on programming, some kind of system, and I couldn't drain it all down the toilet. In addition, it is much easier not to merge when you have motivation from mentors, from Dimych and other students, when you want to, you don't want to, but all this kicks you to act.
In mid-August 2023, I got my first full-time job - a fullstack position in the MoyClass for 3 months of testing for 50k and 60k after passing. I had to work with the ancient Angular 1.5 version and legacy backend without typescript, where most of the logic was in middleware. The company didn't do much refactoring of this horror - the emphasis was on rolling out new features and fixes of what was already falling off. Because of all this, as well as the tense situation in the team, widespread bureaucracy and impostor syndrome, I spent 10 hours a day working and still felt that I was doing something wrong, I was constantly stressed.
The result of this is a loss of interest, attentiveness and a lot of bugs. After 2 months of testing, after I could not find the bug that we rolled out on the prod with my MP, they paid me for the last month of work and said goodbye. PS: even now I'm looking, MyClass is constantly posting vacancies to find specialists. Well, good luck to you, with such a code base)
Well, after I was fired, of course, I was upset, I gave up on training, job search, CV for a month and just didn't do a damn thing. But then, simply, without a cover letter or anything else, I responded to the first vacancy that came along, and the next day I passed the tech. so, I received an offer for 55k for 1 month of testing, after which - 60k of salary. And the technology, the team and everything-everything-everything in Alliance South is a hundred times better than in MyClass.
So the guys who are trying to find a job - do not despair, do not sweat about it too much, download technology and a good job will find you on its own. And I advise people to learn to love technology and what you have to do - to enjoy both the process and the result and get into the firm habit of learning every day and dealing with difficulties (without which you will not be pumped) as a challenge, not as a suffering. Good luck, let's fly!

The approach here is really "human". It is pleasant to communicate with managers, mentors, teachers, you can contact them in person — they will answer and help (and quickly enough).
It is felt that teachers are not only good programmers, but also people with pedagogical skills. They will explain the material as much as necessary until you understand. No one breaks down, screams, humiliates (even if you are very stupid or did not do the dz, did not prepare). It is clear that people like what they are doing. And there is no such thing: the teacher is always right and there can be no other way. They also continue to study and learn something new, and this motivates students very much, personal example is always contagious))
Great community! Everyone helps each other, there is no arrogance and arrogance.
And it is encouraging that the incubator itself also continues to develop. Dimych and his team are constantly improving the program, adding something new and striving to make learning even better!
Huge thanks to the entire incubator team and special thanks to Max Orlov!

Here they helped me a lot to upgrade and become a developer. I will note several main advantages.
- There is no fixed term of study. You will not be kicked out 3 months after the conveyor feed of the most basic material with an electronic certificate that can be made on the knee. In principle, they will not give you a file with an inscription about completing the course, they will give you knowledge here. And they will give at the pace at which you study, and not just blurt it out, regardless of your employment and life situations. The training is divided into sprints and it is possible to repeat the sprint if you do not understand everything. At the same time, you will not be kicked out for failing. A lot of time - go through everything in six months or faster. Not enough - study at your own pace for a year and a half.
- Constant support. There is a support schedule for each day in your personal account and you can connect to ask a question, show a code or ask for advice. At the same time, you can write to the chat, where students or mentors will quickly respond to you. You won't stay without help.
- A friendly community. The local community is not just classmates, but responsive people who are always ready to help, even sometimes to call and sort out your problem (there are quite a few such students, and yes, now we are talking about students). At the same time, you can communicate not only on the topic of programming, but also just about life. Everyone supports each other all the time. I still talk to some guys.
- A modern program. There are both classes that give a base, and ala courses. When I was finishing, there was another upgrade of the program and we were writing a new project on a new stack. And my place of work matched 99% of the stack. I took a lot of chips from there and applied them to real projects. Moreover, recently there was an upgrade again. I noticed a tendency towards a general increase in the students' ability. And the Incubator does not score on this, but gives as much as possible. There is a lot of information, if you do not throw it, then the feeling is that the program is endless. After my employment, I still had an unseen mountain of videos, which still would not hurt to finish off.
To summarize. Result-oriented people work and study here. Of course, there is a lot of information on the Internet and you can do without any courses in principle, but this place will definitely save time, give you what you really need and give you emotions.
Separate respects to Andrey, Max and of course Dimych. Let 's fly 🚀
