In late 2022, I penned an article about my aspirations with ZTM Academy, a promising platform for tech education. However, life had other plans, and despite the platform's brilliance, I found myself unable to keep pace.

Fast forward to 2024, a year marked by widespread layoffs, regardless of tenure or title. It was a wake-up call for me to reignite my passion for coding. After exhaustive research, I stumbled upon TripleTen - a beacon of hope in my quest for a career in software engineering.

Why TripleTen, you might ask? Let me count the ways:

1. Unlike traditional bootcamps that offer brief stints of learning, TripleTen's 10-month program fits seamlessly into my work schedule and career trajectory. It felt realistic, aligning perfectly with my goals.
2. TripleTen isn't just about learning; it's about immersion. Their interactive platform seamlessly blends theory with real-world projects, ensuring a holistic learning experience.
3. But here's the kicker: the support system. From dedicated Success Managers guiding me through every step, to experienced developers offering personalized tutor support and live coding sessions, TripleTen goes above and beyond. And let's not forget the community aspect. Their bustling Discord server is a haven for learners like me, offering a platform to share insights, tackle challenges, and forge connections with like-minded individuals.
4. Structured into sprints mirroring real-world scenarios, TripleTen's approach is refreshingly practical. With deadlines to keep me on track, I'm not just learning; I'm adapting to the pace of the industry.

As I stand on the brink of my cohort start date, having already delved into introductory courses and dabbled in HTML & CSS basics, I'm filled with anticipation.

At 40, some might call it a late start. But as Dr. Seuss once said, "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." And I choose to pursue my passion for software engineering.

So, if you're on the fence about taking the leap yourself, I urge you to consider TripleTen. And hey, I've got a referral code that can sweeten the deal with a 25% discount. Because it's never too late to chase your dreams!

Join me in embracing change, seizing opportunities, and charting a course toward a future we're truly passionate about.
