The changing narrative around becoming an engineer in 2024, an argument for taking a longer and slower journey to becoming a SWE instead of a 12-16 week bootcamp.

I only know a handful of graduates and I know a lot more people who are starting it or doing it. I don't know if I would say it "adequately prepares" you for THIS job market, but I think it's a good option to consider as a step along the journey to get a reliable CS base. Like content wise, if it's accredited then presumably it covers enough raw topics. The challenge is for CS degree grads right now, internship experience is key to 1. converting to full time, 2. having experience on your resume. So if you do WGU without internships, you'll still have a hard time getting a job. BUT for the cost, and given it's backing, it's fairly affordable and reliable way to cover a lot of CS basics. Sorry this isn't a definitive answer. I don't have a lot of answers, just my 2 cents observations and opinions.
