Hello data engineer enthusiasts,
My journey with Data Engineer Academy is just a month. My experience thus far is realistic and aligned to my career. I was quite skeptic in the beginneing, but conversation with Chris and the subject matter experts cleared that cloud. I am hoping to land my dream job soon.

The program is challenging and requires a lot of work and commitment. But the good news is that coaches are with you all the way. My new coach Monicah is amazing; she is been very helpful and kind a motivate me without even realize it. I still have a long way to go to complete the program but will recommend it to anyone who wants to take a step forward for a career change.

DE Academy has been great so far
My experience with the DE Academy has been good so far. My success coach designed a custom and structured plan to improve the skills needed for a data analyst. Mock interviews and the feedback are really helpful.

Helpful and Supportive - Feeling Hopeful About My Progress
I had an excellent experience with Melinda Malida.
She took the time to explain everything clearly and helped me resolve my issue. We scheduled a meeting, and I'll also be meeting with my student coordinator to make a plan moving forward.
I'm determined to pass these courses because I've been struggling with a lot of anxiety from my current job. I work as a security guard and often have to deal with toxic, emotionally challenging situations - people yelling and being very difficult. That's not where want to be for the rest of my life. need to be mentally strong to handle that environment, but my goal is to move into remote tech work so I can find peace and stability.
Thanks to the support received from Melinda and the academy, I'm motivated to continue learning SQL and Python. I'll do my best, with God's grace, to succeed. I highly appreciate the help

Hi Raffaela,
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear about your experience and I want to address your concerns directly.
There appears to have been some miscommunication around scheduling. When the meeting was booked, my understanding was that we would connect on Thursday, which is why I prepared to share a full update with you then. In the meantime, I took immediate action on your concerns. I reviewed your case in detail and spoke directly with the supervisor of the coach who conducted your SQL mock interview to assess the feedback provided.
Regarding your meeting with Monica, I want to clarify that she did join the session on time. I have personally shared with you a screenshot confirming the scheduled time, as well as Monica’s reminder message sent shortly after the meeting started, which included the meeting link. I understand this may not have matched your experience, which is why I would like us to align directly.
Prior to this, Hector also responded to your payment related questions promptly.
On the technical issue with assignment access, this was identified as a broader bug that affected a small number of students. I escalated it to our development team as soon as it came to my attention so it can be resolved.
I also want to clarify that I have been actively working on your case and following through on what was discussed. My intention was to provide you with a complete and accurate update during our scheduled meeting rather than partial information.
It is clear that there has been a breakdown in communication, and I want to reset this in a way that is actually helpful for you. I am fully committed to resolving your concerns and ensuring you receive the support you need moving forward.
Please feel free to connect with me directly so we can address everything efficiently.

I had been wanting to shift career from…
I had been wanting to shift career from Software Developer to Data Engineering since 2021. However, I clearly did not have a clear view of how to do it.
Then, early this year, I came across this post on Facebook for people who want to switch careers to Data Engineering. I saved the post and went over it a couple of times. I was really interested but at the same time, hesitant, considering there are a lot of scam programs out there. I did my own research about the academy, and I found a lot of good reviews.
So, I signed up.
Soon after I signed up, a representative from DEA (Kevin Hu) called me and gave me valuable information about the program and how it helped a lot of people. He’s personable and easy to speak with. He was able to answer all my questions, cleared my doubts and motivated me that in the end, I decided to join DEA.
Next was my meeting with Neha Bohra, one of DEA’s Technical CSM. She patiently guided me through my Personalized Plan (as I had a lot of questions. 😀), helped me set up apps and access to Skool, Slack, and DEA websites. She’s very helpful, and motivating as well.
Prior to starting the courses were inspirational videos that will give you the necessary mindset. Students were also provided key points on how to improve our resumes and how to answer interview questions.
During the course of my SQL lessons, I encountered troubles in some areas. I communicated with the team all these questions and doubts through our Slack channel, and there is always someone to help.
After completing my SQL courses, I went through a series of mock tests. Conducted by both Manaswini and Neha Bohra. At first, I was nervous, thinking that I would be judged, if ever I did not pass the tests. On the contrary, both are helpful and supportive. The succeeding mock tests were more relaxed. They provided feedback and suggestions on how to improve my skills more.
I still have a long way to go, so far, I have had nothing, but good experiences with DEA.
For now, I have managed to complete my SQL courses. Before joining, I thought I already knew enough. While taking the course, I realized that it is not so. However, through DEA’s lessons and lots of practice questions, I feel that I am now more confident in my SQL skills.
I would recommend DEA because first, it is not a scam. I feel that they are true to what they are promising, that is, to help us land a job in Data Engineering. But of course, we also must do our parts.

Very structured program to get into Data Engineering
I’ve had a really positive experience with this data engineering academy. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, with a strong focus on practical, real-world applications rather than just theory. It’s been great for building hands-on skills and understanding how things actually work in the industry.
Also want to give a shoutout to my CSM advisor, Yash, who has been very approachable and supportive throughout. He regularly checks in, provides helpful guidance, and makes sure I’m progressing in the right direction.
Definitely recommend it to anyone serious about getting into data engineering.
