What Bootcamps Don't Teach You with

What bootcamps teach and what the job actually requires are two different things. I've spent years mentoring bootcamp students and graduates and filling in what the curriculum leaves out.

Bootcamps teach a step-by-step process. Real organizations run on timelines, budgets, and stakeholder priorities that UX doesn't control. That gap is where most graduates struggle — with a portfolio in hand, and no clear sense of how to apply it, talk about it, or compete for roles in a market that's harder to enter than ever.

This session is for anyone considering a bootcamp, currently enrolled, or figuring out what to do next. Let's make sure you're making a clear, informed decision before you invest, or figure out how to close the gaps if you already have.

I'm a Principal UX Researcher with 10+ years at Netflix, Aon, MassMutual, Arvest Bank, and Infosys. I'm also the author of Practical UX Design.

I help UX researchers and designers with the practical things that actually move your career forward: portfolio reviews, interview prep, career advice, and honest feedback on your work, and what to expect in a real work environment.
