Do you feel like the botocamps misled you when you joined about the state of the job market, or is it that the job market changed while you were there?
I have some recordings in my possession of a bootcamp leader telling people in November 2023 that the market was improving, that it was a normal up and down, the worst was behind them, and expecting to see outcomes back to their previous highs in six months. I don't have context from the recording itself to know if this was deception or just an overreaction to a brief set of good data at the time
The market has been terrible in 2024 for bootcamp grads and I would be extremely cautious about any bootcamp rooting a recover.
If you are promised a recovery, wait six months to see if it's real or not.
What's the rush? Why join now? If you feel pressured to join now, red flag. Do free and cheap self paced learning in the mean time.
