Pros

Some mock interviews only if the mentor matches with the job position you are looking for.

Cons

I joined Sharpest Minds as mentee and have found the business model very exploitative. You are charged a percentage of your PRE-TAX income for 12 MONTHS. That is insane. No mentorship is worth that much money. I was disappointed by the income sharing model. It is exploitative specially for the new immigrants. If anyone is every thinking of joining then only join with pay for each meeting and only with the mentor that MATCHES your skillset . I would say it didn't help me much and now I am stuck paying hefty amount of money for an entire YEAR. Use TRIEC instead. Don't get exploited.

Pros

- Income share agreement creates a situation where you have an experienced mentor by your side who is incentivized to get you into the best job possible - Access to a great community of data professionals and other mentees to help guide your search

Cons

- Don't expect the structured curriculum of a bootcamp, but for people who prefer self-paced learning this is the way to go
