I just looked at your github and wow... you do code every day. I do have a question for you and would love your input. In your experience, are boot camp grads looked at differently than people who went the traditional route? would you recommend a boot camp grad who has a job

Hi, yeah I also code in my sleeeeeeep 🀒 haha They are indeed looked upon less favorably than CS grads, and top school CS Grads (US world news top 20-30) are looked upon more favorably than others, and the top 4-8 are looked upon even more favorably (you get wined and dined on campus by recruiters - literally). I wouldn't recommend a bootcamp if you already have a CS degree. Some suggestions: 1. Find older grads that you know and talk to them about their jobs and/or try to get referrals 2. Try to find recruiters who focus on your school 3. Consider grad school/masters 4. Consider internships post graduation
