Qwasar, was co-founded by the founders of Ecole 42, and trains people for roles in the digital economy. They offer skills based training in software engineering, full stack development, data science, cloud & devops engineering, and AI & machine learning.
Jennifer shares two (anonymous) stories of prior students, one who landed a position in data science at Tesla, and one who now works in front end development at Cap Gemini. She goes over how you can engage with the programs, the timing, and frequency of each cohort.
I ask Jennifer how the Seattle tech scene compares to the tech environment in Silicon Valley - and she provides great insight on what makes each place unique.
