I wish I had time to do an AMA or something but last time I did one it went crazy and took up my whole day. I would love to share my advice for bootcamp grads job hunting right now. Maybe people can comment on here with some questions and topics and I'll try to do quick write up of thoughts targeted towards the questions? I think I'm late to the party on this thread so I don't expect anyone to see this haha.
There is hope! There are people hiring! But there are hundreds of millions of people in the country, thousands of miles apart, and wildly different experiences for everyone (which is why \~five anecdotal comments on Reddit mean absolutely nothing to make decisions off of)
My background: 8 years at Facebook, 2009-2017. Intern -> E7 principal engineer in 5 years. Interviewed \~450 people. Mentored dozens. Number 1 volume code committer of all time (and still going strong https://github.com/mnovati) . Number 1 most internally followed non-management employee. Current co-founder of [Formation.dev](https://Formation.dev), mentor and train early career engineers with work experience from \~dozen bootcamp backgrounds, 81% going to top tier companies, lots of experience.
