Just spoke with recruiters from four different major companies. They are filtering out bootcampers.

Full disclosure I work with a number of Codesmith alumni later on in their careers with thier 2nd, 3rd, 4th jobs and support people 1-1 to tell their best narrative. And it's highly personal how people portray themselves. The reasons I've been given are, in no particular order - pretty much all the reasons: \- Unawareness: a specific leader told me that my 3 weeks was equivalent to months of mid level industry experience because the 11 hours days and the difficulty of the projects. \- Fake it til you make it: hustler mentality, no regrets \- Ends justify the means: if people get jobs and do well on those jobs, does it matter how they go them? \- I tried being very correct and didn't get any interviews and saw friends get interviews were using this style of resume so I tried it \- Slippery slope: as I didn't get interviews, I adjusted my resume every week or two and each time was a little more exaggerated
