Fast
Easy learning
Need more resources for Self Taught Developers
The site is pretty awesome. Just wish there were more resources for the path less traveled. Maybe a 21 day challenge for those not attending boot camps. Tips on how to get all of the things that you don’t have when you don’t/can’t go to a bootcamp.
Update***
Bugs! Bugs everywhere can’t even use the community part of the app!!

Will harass you!
Proceed cautiously!
I read about this app online and then saw it has 4.8 stars on the app store so figured I'd give it a try. My situation is I attended a bootcamp already and completed it. Yet I want to add to my skills so am currently attending other online classes.
I felt this will help me connect with others and help me further my education and get a job in the tech field. WRONG!
The app requires you to give your phone number. Soon as I completed the signup I'm thrown into a chat room. I was not ready for this and was on break at work and that was a bad time for this.
Within about 10 minutes after I was off break I get a text from Career Karma asking me questions. I was at work, I ignored it figuring I can write back after work. Yet within 5 mins of not answering the person simply responds with "?" which is clearly rude and telling me he is ready for my answer. I let it slide though and corresponded and answered a few questions since I had time. I figured then he'd leave me alone.
Well then the calls started. I didn't answer due to being at work but I googled this phone number that kept calling me to find out it's Credit Karma. If they wanted to talk that bad all they had to do is leave a voicemail and I would have called back when I had time. Yet just calilng over and over (which they did) and not leaving a voicemail is rude. I'm sure they felt I may not return a voicemail so was hoping to catch me off guard and have me answer the phone.
Then the weekend came. My wife and I have a baby and rarely get time for ourselves. We had a family member come to watch our baby this weekend so we could go away. Well little did I realize both Saturday and Sunday I'd be harrassed with phone calls again. One time I did answer and when the lady said she's from Career Karma I told her she has the wrong number hoping it would stop.
I also got many emails during this 3 day period. I know there are chat sessions throughout the day. I kept getting notices of being invited or that I was added to them. Yet these were during my work hours or either when I was spending time with my family. I don't need to be invited. The schedule is there to see. I can manage my time and know what I can and cannot attend and I don't need someone else to decide my schedule.
I have time in my life to take classes and get a new job. Yet what I don't have time for is this. I am a good self starter and motivated. I don't need to be harrassed and micro-managed. All this will do is slow down my progress greatly! As others suggested in reviews it's best to remove your account. What I find odd is I tried to delete it both on my phone and tablet and it came back saying there was an error. Odd since the app worked fine so clearly they don't want you to delete. I still removed the app from each. Fortunately when I deleted my account on the website it worked.
As someone suggested I believe the good reviews were left by Credit Karma and that is why the reviews are so good. As well I see Credit Karma actually responds to some saying that a lot of their clients love the followups and communication, that is why they do it. Yet I don't feel anyone truly likes it and that is just them justifying this behavior.
Now that the account is deleted I just hope the harrassment is over. I don't know why someone thinks they need to treat someone like this. I would have loved this system. It was the harrassment that turned me totlaly against this place!

Great app
This app and it’s community and team have been very helpful my entire journey. This is a great place to start if you are looking to get into tech.
Pushy
I’d even say snarky.
Upon entering your phone number during initial signup process, without even notification, app puts you into a voice chat room for new members and ‘speakers’ start speaking “welcome” you. Very awkward.
You get an assigned coach who starts sending sms to you.
I wanted to see if there is setting to op out of getting text messages, nope. They will text you.
I closed my account, deleted the app, and my “coach” sends me “👋”. Hah.
