End the Sunday Night Dread – Build a Career in Tech
Are you bored or frustrated with your work? Do you still feel that “Sunday Night Dread?”
What if you took back control of your future, and made an exit plan?
Start building skills in a growing field, like software engineering.
Enter Flatiron School’s Software Engineering course.
Whether you have zero coding knowledge, are self-taught, or are somewhere in between, this course is crafted for anyone.
You’ll learn by doing. Throughout the course, if you’re not building and refining code for apps or websites, you’ll be studying, practicing, or attending lectures to learn different coding languages.
Don’t look back years from now and regret staying in a crappy situation.
Start learning software engineering in as little as 15 weeks.

Enter documentation.
It shows you’re doing something.
People like people who can do things.”
