2024 Bootcamp Predictions Mega Post. Revisiting my 2023 prediction post and exploring what I see ahead for 2024. 2023 was a rough year for bootcamps and the future doesn't look great for traditional programs - 2024 will be a year of caution, but I'm optimistically excited to see what happens!

How can the median possibly be that high?

You should read my post!!! Of the 52 people who reported offers over that period of time, 92% of them looked like they had relevant experience and the average reported was just under 12 months of experience for their 3 week long projects. Their CEO said this week in an info session: 'The longer people take in the job hunt the higher their salaries, not because they get more experience but they get more practice and better at telling their story' . So those entries on their resumes accumulate and people then get interviewed for roles that require more experience. Codesmith is a place that has a high bar and requires a certain type of person to be accepted. The graduates are extremely ambitious, hard working, and well spoken and professional.
