I see some comments insisting a bootcamp is not enough for a job, but at least my bootcamp seemed to set realistic expectations. They said you should be trying predominantly for junior level roles and job search could take up to 6 months. They said to discuss projects as you woul

Bootcamps are definitely enough to get a job and I'm also not debating that a minority of Codesmith grads get "senior" titles, but what I'm arguing is that the people are not actually mid level or senior engineers in both definition AND skill level.
I've worked with and given advice to a number of people in this position and tried to help them navigate their jobs - people just on Reddit who I don't even know their real names and it's really really really harmful to most people what Codesmith is marketing. Not "lawsuit level harmful" but like it's not the right career advice for most people there (even though it IS the right career advice for a minority of people there) and I have a deep passion for helping people have great CAREERS and not just the highest paying first jobs (where they will make way more money too across that great career than they will otherwise).
