GRADUATE FROM A BOOTCAMP IN EUROPE AND GET A JOB IN THE U.S.

You have probably heard that tech as the industry will continue to grow and flourish in 2018. If you are considering a career move and want to break into tech, you might want to consider a bootcamp in Europe.

Why?

Because you can kill two birds with one stone by choosing to study in Europe. First, it is cheaper. Second, you will be able to experience European lifestyle.

Europe is being famous for providing far cheaper IT education than most American bootcamps. If you are in search of a city where living costs are still low, you should consider Barcelona. It’s incredibly affordable to live here compared to vacationing.

Talking about bootcamp prices in Barcelona, Barcelona Code School offers you a good price-quality ratio. We offer personalized teaching in small groups (3:1) and student-driven approach which leaves no one behind.

After you finish a JavaScript full-stack bootcamp in Europe, you are well positioned to find development job back in the USA. There is a great demand of jobs in the USA for those who do software development (according to United States Department of Labor data there were 1,256,200 jobs in 2016. NB: statistics are updated every two years.)

Economists at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a division of the United States Department of Labor, predicted that the rate of employment for web developers will increase 24% by 2026.

When it comes to salary, the United States Department of Labor suggests a range from $58k to $157k for software developers. You can also take a look at developer salaries on Glassdoor and Indeed or at Robert Half salary comparison map across the USA.

Programming offers lots of career opportunities. 9-week bootcamp at Barcelona Code School covers the most in-demand and necessary skills, and US employers consider bootcamp graduates perfectly ready for the developers jobs. In fact, 72% of them think bootcamp grads can perform as good as degree holders, if not better.
