The industry is down right now, as with most it has historical ups and downs. I posted just earlier about how tech is projected to be the top equal job growth industry from now till 2030 so probably getting in and learning now isn't a bad thing at all. I spent most of the GFC ups

Is it expected to grow for new grad and entry level roles?
I said this before, my own company would be growing like crazy if bootcamps worked and did well, so I'm extremely bias to wanting it to work.
But the industry won't get better by luring more people into it with exaggerated and carefully selected marketing.
It will get better with more programs like Emerging Talent at JPMC.
Pinterest's apprenticeship had like a dozen slots for 10K applicants.
The Supreme Court leans anti-diversity strategies are making companies deprioritize having staff focused on "diversity".
Companies are going back to traditional top tier CS schools for new grads.
ALL OF THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE to justify the existing of bootcamps.
And I hope it does.
