I always wanted to be a bootcamp instructor

I attended Lambda in 2019 and graduated in early 2020, going through the entire program. My instructors were incredible—they genuinely cared about their students and wanted us to succeed. Ultimately, it’s up to the individual to make the most of it. Coding bootcamps and software

The problem Lambda School had was scale. Look at this chart when you graduated: [https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/1flwsaz/new\_wsj\_article\_about\_tech\_jobs\_shows\_one\_chart/](https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/1flwsaz/new_wsj_article_about_tech_jobs_shows_one_chart/) Lambda School then 5X'd right as the market started crashing and their CEO kept marketing as if it was crushing it and everything was going great... eventually the market proved him wrong and the marketing was so far disconnected from reality that it got them into hot water. Now they are indefinitely paused. Some other bootcamps have shutdown, some have paused, and some keep telling the a good story like Lambda School did. But no one can beat the market.
