Who had the best post-bootcamp experience?

I work with a lot of people who both got jobs after bootcamps, did not get jobs and needed extra support, and were self-taught and went straight to job. Non-scientifically the main factor was having significant experience before the bootcamp. Some examples are: * previous bootcamp * 1+ years of self study * job in related field but not coding related * CS degree The most successful paths have been: * bootcamp -> not very good job for a year -> additional coaching -> great job * self-taught/related job -> additional coaching -> great job I would say it depends on your goals though, I personally work with people who are aiming for top industry jobs and not just any job, so my observations are skewed.
