Why does r/codingbootcamp exist?

r/codingbootcamp

Agree with this. Bootcamps need to be much more focused on 1:1 coaching and mentorship to squeeze every ounce of what's special and marketable about someone into their job search.

Yeah, unfortunately even then, the market is just nor working for those people. A personal trainer might get you into shape, but there are physical limitations they can't overcome within their control. Our mentorship product is only for people with a couple of years of SWE industry work experience and we're seeing it very challenging even for people who already have a year of experience to get interviews right now. I can only imagine how much harder it is for bootcamp grads.
