I know people University bootcamps have helped but I'm generally skeptical.
Why? Because the bootcamp is paying the University to use it's name on the program.
Who is paying for that? Ultimately it's YOU.
Like thousands of dollars of your Tuition is going straight to the school so the bootcamp can use their name.
Now to be fair, other programs with zero name recognition might just pocket that as extra profit. Others might pay way more in ads to get you in. So that doesn't mean it's inherently worse than others.
But to me for University bootcamps it's a fixed overhead cost that limits what they can do with the rest of your tuition, whereas some amazing tiny program has the flexibility IN THEORY to use more of your tuition to teach you.
