What has the job hunt been like since this past summer for bootcamp grads?

We have two goals. First, we want to get your skill level up to the top tier technical bar and behavioral bar. so whether you have a hard time or easy time getting interviews, you'll be able to pass FAANG level technical interviews (unless you choose to leave earlier). Second, we try to help you find the best paths possible to your target companies and try to find good fits for you. There are a lot of ways to be referred to a company, could be to a hiring manager, could be to a recruiter, could be a friend submitting your resume to a general system. Many, engineers will also come in with recruiters proactively messaging them and they need help navigating those conversations but they don't even need referrals. So it's really case by case but we don't guarantee specific interviews or have quotas or anything like that or pre-arranged positions. We have a crazy strong network of hundreds of years of FAANG level engineering and recruiting experience and no people at most companies so the strategizing and the job hunt alone is valuable, because finding the right path to a company is a lot more useful than random referrals. That said, It's definitely much harder when you have zero experience and people tend to get positions in all kinds of ways. Sometimes referrals if it's the stars aligning. Sometimes online assessments as a screening step and doing unbelievably well on that can help. Sometimes a former bootcamp mate will be able to refer you. Sometimes it's just brute force applications. Sometimes It's the high pressure strategic application for the perfect aligning position and messaging the right people. So TLDR; there's no magic way to get a job and our job is to leverage this immense amount of experience that we feel that you can't get anywhere else to help you in that process.
