Why did you decide to change careers and learn web development? <\/h2>

<\/div>
I've always had a wide range of interests, and I did many different jobs in my youth. Before joining Le Wagon, I was a car mechanic, and before that, I worked on freelance photography projects. <\/div>

<\/div>
One day I injured my knee at work. That\u2019s when my cousins, web developers, advised me to change careers.  <\/div>

<\/div>
I've always been attracted to technology and I'm passionate about problem-solving, hence my career in mechanics, so it made sense for me to reorient myself towards an IT career. <\/div>

<\/div>

Why did you decide to join Le Wagon? <\/h2>

<\/div>
When I was studying Mechanical Engineering, I was very interested in programming courses. It resonated with me more than other classes like thermodynamics! In the end, I didn't go all the way through my studies because I found the courses were too theoretical and not practical enough. <\/div>

<\/div>
So, my initial plan was to learn programming with courses on the Internet. But I quickly hit a wall, and that's when I got interested in bootcamps.<\/div>

<\/div>
I chose Le Wagon because the positive reviews seduced me, and I found the admission process very human. <\/div>


<\/div>

How did your job search go after the bootcamp?<\/h2>

<\/div>
I received a job offer only a few days after the Demo Day! <\/div>

<\/div>
But I turned it down because I wanted to develop my skills a bit more before starting a career as a developer. So I worked as a teacher and TA for Le Wagon in Montreal, Berlin, and S\u00e3o Paulo. <\/div>

<\/div>
Then, thanks to people I knew from Le Wagon, I accepted my first job as a full-stack developer at SurMesur, a Quebec-based company. I had the chance to work there with two other alumni. <\/div>

<\/div>

What is your role today at Spockee?<\/h2>

<\/div>
Today, I work as a front-end developer at Spockee. And, once again, I got this job thanks to a fellow alumnus from Le Wagon. <\/div>

<\/div>
\"I received two job offers thanks to Le Wagon alumni network. The community is powerful!\"<\/em><\/blockquote>

<\/div>
At Spockee, I am responsible for two REACT web applications, and I do maintenance on a mobile application. I'm also working on the development of an administrative dashboard. 

<\/div>

What's a typical day for a front-end developer?  <\/h2>

<\/div>
Right now, the whole team is working remotely.<\/div>

<\/div>
At 9 am, we have a stand-up meeting to talk about what we did yesterday, our tasks for the day, and the potential blocking points we have. <\/div>

<\/div>
During the day, I work on bug fixes and new feature development. We also do a lot of pair programming, just like we do at Le Wagon! <\/div>

<\/div>
At lunchtime, we have the opportunity to participate in Lunch & Learn sessions to share our knowledge with colleagues. Then, I like to take a sports break around 3 - 4 pm before going back to work, but this is just my habits :) <\/div>

<\/div>

How do you use the skills you learn during the Web Development program?<\/h2>

<\/div>
During the bootcamp, we learn how to read documentation, do research when we get stuck, and share our knowledge. <\/div>

<\/div>
When I'm learning a new programming language, I use the same learning method that Le Wagon gave me: I start by setting up my computer and going over the basics (algorithms, loops, conditions, etc), and then I practice by creating a blog or restaurant application. <\/div>

<\/div>
All of this learning curve you go through at the Wagon is the same in the real world. <\/div>

<\/div>
\"Today, at Spockee, I don't use Ruby on Rails, but Le Wagon taught me a way of learning that I'm able to apply to other technologies.\"<\/em><\/blockquote>

<\/div>

Your favorite part of bootcamp? <\/h2>

<\/div>
The Ruby on Rails week! It was fantastic to integrate everything we learned (database, JavaScript, Ruby, front-end...) to build web applications and see the concrete results of our efforts. <\/div>

<\/div>
It was impressive as I felt like I was creating things from scratch!  <\/div>

<\/div>

Any advice for those who want to learn to code? <\/h2>

<\/div>
Before starting the bootcamp, I had already taken some online courses that gave me some understanding of coding, and I think that gave me a little bit of a head start. So, my advice would be to start with online tutorials (or the free workshops offered by Le Wagon ) because it will speed up your learning process during the bootcamp!


Congratulations on your successful career change, Victor! We wish you the best :)  <\/em><\/div>
