By your logic it would be impossible to get a job via a bootcamp. I got a job via codesmith. Since starting I have received two raises, multiple performance bonuses, and a promotion. I am not defrauding the company in any way and will never regret what I did to get this position.

1. Maybe that's the problem with bootcamps if all graduates have to lie to get jobs?
2. Individual cases vary - people who go to Codesmith have a higher entrance bar and are allegedly already "hirable as junior engineers" so it's likely that more exception cases of people who can perform well on the job are from Codesmith grads, but just going to Codesmith isn't the reason why, YOU are.
3. I've posted extensively on this but there are four buckets of grads I've seen: ones who do well, one's who get fired on their first job or laid off because they don't make it, one's who struggle and barely get by and job hop, ones that just can't get a job.
4. How do you know you couldn't have done better with something else other than Codesmith? If you are as successful as you say you are, this would be top of mind. If you aren't making 7 figures yet then aim higher if you're that good.
