This project helped me to build a deeper understanding of production code. Besides, Brave shared networking opportunities with me and helped me with resume editing and mock interviews.

  • I am switching my career path from Engineering back to IT. Brave Career provided me with much-needed guidance and many industry insights, like what it will be like to be a DE, and what skills are essential as a DE, which helps me a lot to plan my career path. Practical project experience also helps me to get familiar with all the tools needed in the industry and lots of hands-on experience with the mentors' help. Overall, very good experience with the programs and highly recommended them to anyone who would like to pursue a career in data
