# acceptare: pe bază de discuție
# preț: după ce ne cunoaștem

You've been thinking about a change. Not a small one, not an hour in Colab. A real one: leaving what you do now and getting into IT.

You've seen the online bootcamps that promise a job in 8 weeks. You've also seen the reviews: someone learned to code but got no replies on a single CV. Someone finished and found out "guaranteed job" meant a list of partner companies, not an actual job.

You don't want to be that story. You want a path where someone shows you what to learn, in what order, and how to present yourself at the end. You want a group that pulls you up, not one that leaves you behind.

On the other side, you have real questions. You're 30, 35, 40 and wondering if there's still time. You have a current job that doesn't allow months without a paycheck. You've already invested in courses that didn't work. You have a healthy anxiety about any big promise.

This program doesn't work for everyone. That's why we select by conversation. Before we talk money or calendar, we want to know exactly where you are and where you want to go.

What the 12 weeks look like

05 stages
  1. 01

    Weeks 1-3 · Foundation

    We learn real code, not textbook syntax. Python as a starting point, plus the tools you'll work with daily (Git, terminal, debugging). Without skipping the essentials that are missing from every online course.

  2. 02

    Weeks 4-7 · Concrete project

    You build a real project, something you can put on GitHub and demo in an interview. Not a to-do app. Something closer to what you'd do in your first months on the job.

  3. 03

    Weeks 8-10 · Career

    The CV, the technical interview, finding a job. The Career Module slots in here, but in a practical context. You apply to your first jobs in parallel with preparation.

  4. 04

    Weeks 11-12 · Interviews and offer

    Mock interviews, direct feedback, adjustments. The target is that by the end of week 12 you have at least one interview scheduled or an offer on the table. Realistic, not guaranteed.

  5. 05

    After the program · Continuing cohort

    You finish the program, but you don't leave. The cohort stays active on Discord, plus the alumni. When you land your first job, you come back to help the ones coming after you.

This program isn't a series of videos you watch alone. It's a path with someone who's already walked it, plus a cohort walking it alongside you. That's the difference that matters.

What you'll learn

05 outcomes
  • Full curriculum, from code to hire

  • Active alumni network
Portrait of Victor Marcu

Who runs the program

My name is Victor Marcu. I'm a programmer.

I learned solo, bombed interviews, retried, until I got an offer from Expedia London. Then I built products, hired people, sat on the other side of the technical interview.

IT Job Sprint is what I wish had existed when I started. A short, concrete program, run by someone who was in your shoes a few years ago and got where you want to go.

We select by conversation because I don't want to take money from someone who isn't a fit. If you're not a fit, I'll tell you directly, before you waste 3 months.

Who this program is for

For you if

  • You want to change careers and break into IT, regardless of age
  • You have 10-15 hours per week to commit for 12 weeks
  • You've tried learning solo and realized you need structure and someone to answer your questions
  • You want a cohort, not a remote course you forget after two weeks
  • You understand you're not buying a job. You're buying a path that puts you in a position to find one

Not for you if

  • You haven't written code yet and want to try before committing → do the AI Assistant workshop first
  • You already have some code and just want the career part → take the Career Module separately
  • You want a self-paced course with no cohort and no mentor → this program isn't for you

In their own words

How it was for them

I worked 8 years in logistics. I needed someone to tell me exactly what to learn and in what order, plus weekly pressure not to drop it. I finished the program in May. In August I got a junior backend offer at a company in Cluj. Not the best offer in the world, but it's the first.

I finished the program in winter. Right now I still don't have a job, I'm still applying. But the difference between who I was 4 months ago and who I am now is huge. Back then I couldn't write a line of code. Now I write daily, I have projects, I have confidence in interviews. I'm getting closer, it's just taking longer than I expected.

I finished a CS degree last year and got nothing in 8 months of applying. I joined the Sprint in January. I didn't learn things from college, I learned things companies actually use. Plus the CV and interview part, which doesn't exist in college. Now I'm a junior dev at a remote company, I've been there two months.

Before you say it's not for you

  • I don't have 10-15 hours per week.

    Then this program doesn't work for you right now. Better to hear that before you lose money. If you have fewer hours, the AI Assistant workshop exists as a starting point.

  • I'm too old for a junior role.

    We've had 35+, 40+ people land jobs in IT. Age matters less than attitude and consistency. But I can't promise that to everyone. It depends on your previous field, your location, your pace. That's why we talk first.

  • How much does it cost?

    We don't publish the price because it depends on the cohort, the duration, the options you choose. We discuss that only after we see the program makes sense for you. If it doesn't, we don't ask for anything.

  • Why can't I just buy it directly?

    Because most people who "buy directly" drop out in 4 weeks. People who buy after a 30-minute conversation, in which they understand what's coming, finish the program. This filter protects everyone.

  • What if I start and can't keep up?

    There's a weekly check-in system. If you fall behind, we notice and adjust. If we realize it isn't working (for you or for us), there are exit clauses. Details in the initial conversation.

You're not buying a job. You're buying a path, a mentor, and a cohort.

12 weeks of real work, not a series of videos.

Before we talk money or calendar, we want to understand where you are and where you want to go.

Leave a message. We talk for 30 minutes. We see if it makes sense.

If it doesn't, we don't ask for anything.

IT Job Sprint is contact-based. You reach out, we talk, and if it fits we propose a plan and the next cohort.

FAQ

07
Why no price?
We select by conversation. We set the price once we know where you are and where you want to go. If you don't fit, we tell you directly and don't ask for anything.
When's the next cohort?
We announce by direct contact. Leave a message and we'll keep you posted.
How is this different from the Career Module?
The Career Module is one piece of the program (CV, interview, job hunt). IT Job Sprint is the whole program: code, project, career, 1:1 mentoring, cohort.
What happens in the first conversation?
30 minutes on Zoom. I ask where you are, what you've tried, what you want. I tell you realistically whether the program makes sense for you. No pressure to buy on the spot.
Can you give me a price range?
For clarity: it's a multi-thousand-euro program, not a 200 RON online course. The exact range we give only in the conversation, once we know what options you choose (cohort only, cohort plus extra mentoring, etc.).
What if I enroll and can't keep up?
We have weekly check-ins. If you fall behind, we step in. If we realize the program isn't working (for you or for us), there are exit clauses. Details in the conversation.
Is there a refund?
Yes, there are partial exit clauses in the first 2 weeks. Details in the program contract, which you see before you sign.
