So you would accept that civil engineer into formation with that understanding that they haven't really done bootcamp final project level stuff yet?

I would say we "wouldn't reject", we still have to benchmark your current skills and talk to you about your timeline and goals.
For example, we are currently focused on top tier companies, and in most cases the fundamental programming skills and being a good teammate are the only thing that matters.
One of the main reasons I'm here is because people new to the industry don't really know what they don't know, and people quickly latch on to things. I fight tooth and nail against blindly following CIRR for example because Codesmith has an employee hierarchy of 50+ former students reinforcing the importance of CIRR.
