Sonia Morris, Product Owner, LPL Financial
“These days, I work for a leading company in the finance industry, supporting a software platform that helps financial advisors better serve their clients. I enjoy leading a team and being part of developing a useful product. It’s a management-track role, and that’s exactly where I want to be.
Revature has been key to getting me there, because the program didn’t just teach me technical know-how. It developed my leadership and interpersonal skills, gave me confidence, and set me up with industry experience right out of the gate. That’s why I’m proud to call myself a Revature alum.”

Jeff Myers II
“Revature’s training program was the most mentally rigorous work I had ever done up to that point, but it was that hunger for learning and a fierce determination that got me through. I soon realized that, while my bachelor’s degree had given me a solid grounding in code, it hadn’t taught me what it was like to develop software in real life. The Revature program and the subsequent placements (mine happened to be with two well-known consulting companies working for some of the largest banks in the country) bridged that gap.
I learned how to take an idea from scratch, build the front end, build the back end, and deploy the software out into the world. Finally, I had that industry experience that employers were looking for.”

“Revature was literally a launchpad. It gave me what I needed to get a foot in the door — to go from graduating with an English degree to Revature and then to land in a career where, at the same time I’m building my technical skills, my team lead is really keen on using my soft skills, my organizational skills, my analytical skills.”

Title: Software Engineer

As far as what I expected from Revature, obviously I got that and more. I feel great. I feel like I’m capable of taking over the world.”
