Any tips for succeeding and learning from my upcoming bootcamp?

There are definitely way more jobs than developers. The economy is very volatile so there are hiring freezes at some companies, and layoffs at others, but overall there are a lot of jobs and more engineers needed than there are engineers. The problem is that not all engineers are the same and needs are the same. Senior engineers can have 10X, 100X impact over junior ones, but cost maybe 2-3X a junior engineer, so the demand for them is even higher. Whereas there is kind of a log-jam of bootcamp grads with very little experience, ready to contribute 1X for a reasonable salary, all vying for the same junior spots, and on paper all look the same. So it's more like a traffic jam where things aren't moving just because of too much traffic! My advice right now for bootcamp grad (I'm bias, Formation works with a lot of Bootcamp grads) is to keep working on fundamental skills so that you can be that 2X engineer instead of the 1X engineer and be appealing to companies open to taking on people who will "break even" cost wise, but have a lot of growth potential.... many companies realize that it's can be easier to grow a 2X engineer into a 10X engineer than it is to hire a 10X engineer from the market :P. But at the same time to DOUBLE the skill of a 1X engineer to a 2X engineer is a big investment and doesn't deliver enough impact to justify sometimes. (These are gross generalizations, many exceptions)
