There are too many of them, but I will name just a few that I think are the most important for my work today. The solid technical knowledge learned at the Academy allowed me to feel confident despite the lack of practical experience before the program, and helped me progress much quicker at my job. The programming techniques and tools taught at the Academy are in line with what the market and the companies look for at junior IT talent.
One of the most valuable experiences for me were the team exercises and group projects that taught me how a team operates and how this approach transcends the individual one. And so many other skills that I gained during the Academy...
The IT sector has always fascinated me, and I have loved computers since I was a child. I studied programming in high school, and I want to express my gratitude to the teachers from PGIM "Yordan Zahariev", Kyustendil. I have known about Telerik Academy since 2012 when I took one of the programming courses. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the circumstances brought me back to programming. Before the Academy, I worked in sales and finance for around five years, which did a lot for my professional and personal development. Thanks to my work, I met my fiancée, Ivelina.
In addition to all the technical skills I mastered during the Alpha JavaScript program, I learned to actively search for answers by myself and to give quality feedback. I realized the power of this skill in building a person's character and abilities. I also realized that no individual skill is superior to the "collective mind" of two or more people with similar vision. Payhawk's collective mind, of over 100 people so far, makes the company successful and paints a bright picture of a successful future.
Do it, take the risk. It's worth it. IT is the future, and the best view is from the front row of software development.
