From Bootcamp to Production: What Changes in Real Engineering Teams

by Le Wagon Australia

Description

Overview

Bootcamp vs real engineering teams: learn what changes in production, what managers expect, and how to succeed as a junior developer.

🚀 From Bootcamp to Production: What Changes in Real Engineering Teams

Ever wondered what really changes when you move from a coding bootcamp into a professional engineering team?

This workshop pulls back the curtain on how software is actually built, shipped, and maintained in production environments.

We’re excited to host Eu-Loong, past Le Wagon student and an Engineering Manager from Eightcap, who will walk students through the real-world differences between learning to code and working as a professional software engineer.

🎯 What This Workshop Is About

Bootcamps teach you how to build features.
Real engineering teams focus on building systems that last.
In this session, we’ll explore what changes when you step into a production engineering environment, from code quality and collaboration to ownership and decision-making.

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • How engineering work differs between bootcamps and real companies
  • What “production-ready” code really means
  • How teams think about:
  • Code reviews & pull requests
  • Testing, monitoring, and reliability
  • Technical debt and trade-offs
  • The role of communication, documentation, and teamwork
  • What Engineering Managers look for in junior developers
  • Common mistakes early-career engineers make, and how to avoid them
👩‍💻 Who This Is For
 
This workshop is ideal for:

  • Bootcamp students and recent graduates
  • Computer science students
  • Junior developers preparing for their first role
  • Anyone curious about how real engineering teams operate
No advanced experience required, just curiosity and an interest in software engineering.
 
 🏢 About the Speaker

Our speaker is a past Le Wagon student and Engineering Manager at Eightcap, a global fintech company, with hands-on experience leading real production teams and mentoring early-career engineers.
They’ll share practical insights from the industry, the kind you don’t usually get in tutorials or coursework.

🗓 What to Expect

  • Real-world examples from production teams
  • Honest insights (no buzzwords, no fluff)
  • Time for Q&A with the speaker
  • Actionable advice you can apply immediately
✅ Why You Should Attend
 
If you want to:

  • Feel more confident transitioning into your first engineering role
  • Understand what employers actually expect
  • Learn how to think like a professional engineer
