Can confirm as a Chilean. Santiago gets more expensive as you approach the main part of the city (Which offers more amenities), but overall, living with 1k USD is very doable (specially with the actual conversion rate).

Living in other regions will be MUCH cheaper, but they tend to be more simple (outside the tourists hubs).

The work done by them has been incredible. Their course on OO with Java was a lifesaver as a student, helping me with a lot of concepts and filling the gaps, to start working as a SE.

While I didn't have the time to complete it, their fullstack course seems also very good, has someone completed it that can share their experience?.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably start fiddling with Django again, it has sure been a while for me.

Also, thank you and all the contributors for such amazing resource.

I would argue that the people who see most benefited by these kind of things/bootcamp/courses are people who already have a degree in another field, are expanding their knowledge and/or pivoting to another field.

Same in Santiago (Chile). Even if the pop is more or less 5 million. We have PedidosYa, UberEats, Rappi, instadelivery, Glovo, menuexpress and other local options.

I want to leave my country for work/ study reasons, but I don't know how to start or where to look. I'm a EE graduated from a university here in South America (Chile) and currently working as a SW lead in IoT / fullstack projects.

Every time I look outside (linkedin, /cscareerquestions, HN), there are people with far more experience or qualifications. It makes me feel my ideas are all wishful thinking. That the success that I have attained here is just because "it's a shallow pond" and nothing else.

And when I look at grad programs (master); they require far more money that I have with me right now. I would love to get a master in SWE (part of the reason for going abroad), but I don't feel good enough for a scholarship/financial aid.

How would you test a CRUD app with a DB?

The way that I do it now it's just use some simple functional test to GET / POST and measure the time in a pytest script, I'm sure there are better ways to do it.

I wanted to do the same, but I feel a little threatened by the DS clause (That I had to had a course on the topic) - Did you have previous knowledge or just went through?

I'll argue that, as a book for students, it works better in the way of formality and then some informality/real examples/exceptions. it's necessary a base to compare ideas before explaining differences in a model. It becomes easier to understand, and therefore, study.
