Sourcery Academy suteikė man antrą kvėpavimą ir realią galimybę ne tik gauti žinių, išbandyti save, bet ir savo darbais bei užsivedimu įrodyti, jog esu labai rimtai nusiteikęs. Paskaitos, namų darbai, gyvi susitikimai ir užduočių aptarimai leido tam tikra dalimi pajausti, ko reikia ir ko galima tikėtis įsidarbinus. Įsidarbinus, įgautos žinios, patirtis bei pažintys leido daug lengviau įsivažiuoti ir jau nuo pirmųjų savaičių kibti į darbus.
