Meet our students: Laurence, gaining insights into development

I was on the verge of getting my bachelor’s degree in marketing and was looking for ways to boost my skill set with technical knowledge. Being fascinated by the internet as I am, I was interested in uncovering the inner workings of web applications in order to someday build one myself. Marketing and web development are closely linked, after all. Studying programming would give me an insight into how developers work.

I decided on Le Wagon after reviewing all my options. This bootcamp had glowing reviews online that painted the picture of a school that not only taught programming, but also welcomed you into an international community of developers. I liked the fact that Le Wagon offered a variety of conferences and activities to attend, which makes the experience all the more enriching.

Finally, Le Wagon gave me the impression that my professional future was actually being taken into consideration and that the team would support me throughout my journey.

People sometimes believe that they need to wait for this elusive perfect moment before they can accomplish their dreams and goals. The truth is that the longer we wait, the less likely that moment is to come. There will probably never be a perfect moment to go back to school or change careers, that’s why it’s important to have confidence in yourself and seize the moment.
