Awana's Llama Camp helped me a lot. It helped me get out of my comfort zone. After finishing the training, I received three job offers for senior front-end positions.

I participated in an amazing dev camp to level my soft and technical skills to work for US companies. I highly recommend Awana to anyone looking to play big and challenge themselves abroad.

The camp allowed me to level up with the highest technologies. Maybe at some points we felt lost and overwhelmed given it was an intensive program. At the end, it's important we learn to adapt to it.
