I graduated from 42 in April. I moved here with no prior work experience in tech, and got a developer job in a little under a year. The curriculum is mostly C based which can be a little tedious, but you do learn programming from the ground up.
I am a french 42 graduate. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot of usefull stuff. I am now an IT programmer since 2 years in a selective IT company. Everything is going well.
Not a grad yet but I'm level 15 of 21, currently doing an internship at ford.
As for 42 it's not for everyone, you have to be a self starter and you have to be driven.
I came to the school because I wanted a place that would help focus my studies, I think that if you can relate to that you would do well here.
