"I was stuck in YouTube coding tutorial hell and wasn鈥檛 making any progress, so I decided to enroll in CourseCareers. Three weeks after graduating from the Software Development Course, I landed a full-stack software engineering position, making $70,000 starting. This course taught me everything needed to change my career from being a carpenter to landing my first dev job."
