Things were way different 8 years ago.
Doom and gloom from people spending more time on Reddit than job hunting is one thing.
But stats are clear. End of 2023 outcomes were absolutely terrible and people need to exercise extreme caution trusting anyone or anything trying to sell them a bootcamp right now.
You need to go for the right reasons after careful consideration and not get wood by glitz and glamor.
Finally, engineering has become more diverse since then. A bunch of aggro single guys "competing" for FAANG jobs is very much past us and bootcamps are now a place supportive of people from different backgrounds expressing themselves and feeling supported to do things the way they want to do them.
