I do. I think it's going to be much harder this year for bootcamp grads to get jobs without any additional advantages. For example, Ada Academy has built in 5 month internships, and I consider that an "additional advantage". Some programs have connections for apprenticeships with good companies. I also work with a small number of bootcamp grads who haven't gotten jobs yet at Formation and that gives people an "additional advantage" as well.
There are a lot of very strong entry level engineers from top CS schools who were laid off or had offers rescinded and they will be very competitive for those entry level jobs.
Hard !== Impossible! Grit, discipline, accountability, and time, and you will get a job... but these things are not easy when a lot of bootcamps take the foot off the gas the day you graduate and put you into "support mode".
