Interviewing Strategies

Negotiating Your Offer

Graduate Network And Lifelong Support

Hear from Our Alumni

The last few weeks of Codesmith are dedicated to hiring support. This includes helping you come up with your story and narrative, which is the most important thing. You will also have multiple mock interviews and mock phone screens over technologies you learned, data structures and algos, and system design interviews as well.

Codesmith’s hiring support basically doesn’t end because you can always reach out for assistance long after the program ends.

Brandi Richardson

Software Engineer II @ Microsoft

Codesmith has an amazing hiring team and alumni network. They made sure that we had all the tools to best position ourselves on the top of the job market. They taught us how to approach every interview, build a resume, and negotiate salaries. They also made themselves available when we needed feedback.

And they’re always happy to hear from every alumni. They make sure you have everything you need well after the program is over.

Andrei Cabrera

Lead Software Engineer @ Hilton

Codesmith has a fabulous alumni network and their hiring team made sure that we were equipped with tools to best position ourselves in the job market, i.e., how to do a cold outreach, how to negotiate, and so on. They also made themselves available when I needed feedback on my takehomes. Oh, and did I say they’re always happy to hear from you no matter how long ago you graduated?

Julie Wu

Front End Engineer @ Databook

Getting into the Codesmith immersive is an achievement in itself! Before admission, you have to hone those technical communication and problem-solving skills, which are the foundations you'll continue to build throughout the program and are essential for the job search. Codesmith’s Career Services are one of the most valuable aspects of this program! Any technical knowledge, skill, or experience you might have does not necessarily translate into knowing how to approach the job search, which is a whole different thing. So it makes all the difference to have that job search knowledge when moving into a great position.
