Coding Bootcamp Helped Me Transition Careers and Land a Job at BNY Mellon

For the transcoding players, can be ashore in the United States has been very content, I did not expect to also ashore BNY Mellon, all of which verified Drill Insight's professionalism, reliability, so that they from a transcoding one year but only blindly brush the problem, will only be Java, C++ basis of the students, and slowly master more skills, both microservice, or Cloud service, they are skilled in the use of these skills, but also rely on these skills, and successfully won the offer of BNY Mellon.

I've been working at BNY Mellon for 6 months, and when I think back now, I only have one feeling, that every decision I made has changed my life trajectory inadvertently. I was originally Columbia University statistics, when the code was hastily changed, but did not even consider the difficulty of code change, only to see the work salary, policy is loose, the results did not expect to meet the most headache in the learning stage, whether in the dark horse b station, YouTube self-study, or GitHub to find the project, have encountered the great problem, feel the writing out, but a close the video, it is back to the white state, it feels like a little white. I feel like I've written it, but as soon as I turn off the video, it's back to the white state, and I feel like I haven't even started, and I can't write it.

Also at this time, Drill Insight into my vision, in a comprehensive comparison, chose this JAVA full-stack project, not only the Java foundation into the better consolidation of the content of the previous self-study, and articulation into the financial project, never thought that this project in the future to find a job in the success of the help on shore. Three months of the course with teaching, countless nights to stay up late to do, from the style of writing code to build a cloud platform, in the middle of the countless doubts about self, whether it can be, or with other bootcamp as well, also become a life in the middle of the lesson will suffer, but the reality has given me a big surprise.

When I received the BNY Mellon interview, I was pleasantly surprised, who do not know the difficulty of entering the U.S. banking industry, generally more likely to admit citizens, so when they received an interview, simply doubt their own eyes, when the project was also just finished, updated resume delivery, did not expect to get such a good market response, overwhelmed by the teacher to share the news, and teachers also help me to conduct the The teacher also helped me with the mock, and pre-interview counseling, so as to be well-prepared.

When I talked to the team leader about the stock trading project, I talked about the FIX message, the Kafka message partition key selection and the avro serializer and schema evolution, and I pointed out the interviewer's misunderstanding of the securities identifier. When I pointed out the interviewer's misunderstanding of securities identifier and explained my own understanding, the interviewer was obviously more enthusiastic and discussed more about the project. Luckily, Drill Insight said before that the non-IT industry is focusing on the project story when examining the SDE, and the project is also in line with the needs of the banking industry at this stage, so I successfully got the offer.

At that time, after the interview, although I feel that the state is very good, but after reviewing with the teacher, agreed that no matter out of the salary negotiation, or identity, holding multiple offers is more insurance, so the teacher gave me to do hm direct push. In waiting for other companies to interview stage, has received BNY Mellon's offer, gave himself great confidence, the original code players are really able to shore, but also on the BNY Mellon, compared to the hands of the offer, and ultimately chose the BNY Mellon.

Looking back on their own experience of code-switching, not the most miserable, but also quite twisted, good harvest good results, an unintentional choice - Drill Insight, changed the direction of his life.
