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 IT Incubator is the best thing that could happen to my training in IT.
In 2022, I firmly decided to become a frontend developer. Before that, I watched the free course "The Way of the Samurai" from Dimych and already then I realized: if you study, then only at the IT Incubator. I didn't regret a bit. I'm currently working on a commercial project, and I can say with confidence that this school is really changing lives.
What makes the IT Incubator special:
A thoughtful and powerful training program. They don't just give you knowledge, they prepare you for real work: in a team, with modern technologies, in practice. React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, RTK Query — everything is served clearly, without water and to the point.
Real teachers, not just coders. They know how to explain here. Even if you made a mistake or didn't understand something, they will support you and sort everything out until it becomes clear.
Support for 12/7 is not a figure of speech. Mentors are really in touch, they respond in person, in the support chat, they help, they explain. Many thanks to Victor, Igor, Valera, Maria, Andrey — you are top!
The main thing is that the training does NOT end after completing the course. Unlike most courses, you continue to be taught here until you are employed. They help with resumes, with preparing for sobs, give feedback, and share vacancies. I got a job thanks to Max Orl, and I'm very grateful to him. These are not just courses, they are incubation until the result. And it's priceless.
The community and the spirit of the "sect" (in a good way). People support each other, there is no toxicity, there is no arrogance. Everyone is here for a common goal — to become specialists. The atmosphere is very warm.
The course is constantly evolving. Dimych and the team are adding modules, updating content, and keeping it up to date. It is clear that the project is alive, and the team is really passionate about their work.
If you are ready to work, learn, make mistakes and try again — you are definitely here. Yes, you'll have to work hard. But the result is worth it. I've been through the front, found a job, and I'm already thinking about mastering the backend. It was the best investment of time and money in my life.
Many thanks to the entire IT-Incubator team! You don't just teach code, you help people believe in themselves and grow up. Let's fly on!

In 2022, I was looking for a school to teach frontend development. After reading a lot of positive reviews, I stopped at the IT incubator and in the end I never regretted it! My studies at this school lasted about a year (it could be faster - I studied slowly). After graduation, I began to actively look for a job and after a month of searching, I received my first long-awaited offer. Yes, it was difficult to study, there was a lot of information, and I had to devote a lot of time to study, but it was clearly worth it. And if you really like development, and there is a goal to "enter IT", then the Incubator will definitely help you with this.
At the moment, having already had a year of commercial development experience, I can say with confidence that in this school the guys teach really necessary and useful things. Having come to my first IT job, from the very first days I already felt quite prepared and confident in many issues. Of course, something was unclear at first, something had to be sorted out, but the strong basic knowledge gained in the incubator helped to quickly integrate into the workflow and successfully pass the probation period.
I especially want to highlight:
1. Well-organized online lessons, where you start coding from the very first lesson
2. Positive and responsive mentors who will clearly and in detail answer all your questions
3. Homework (there will be a lot of it :)) - certainly will not let you get bored and will help consolidate the knowledge gained in the lesson
4. A lot of additional useful material (e.g. NodeJS, React Native, Angular, etc.)
5. The opportunity to undergo trial interviews with school mentors to assess their knowledge and level of readiness for the present
6. Assistance in preparing a decent, competitive CV
7. Really useful job search advice with a description of the current market situation and very good advice on how to communicate with HR in order to get your first offer
Many thanks to Dmitry Kuzyuberdin and his entire team! You guys are doing a great job, helping a lot of people find decent jobs and change their lives for the better every day. Good luck and prosperity to you! And for anyone who is still in doubt whether to go to the Incubator or not, the unequivocal advice is to go. But be prepared to work hard, and then the goal will definitely be achieved :)
