Meta and Amazon abruptly shut down diversity initiatives, indicating a market shift that's terrible for bootcampers and could be the final straw :(

Bootcamp grads almost all have non traditional backgrounds - it's rare for a CS grad to go to a bootcamp DEI = diversity, equity, and inclusion - and in terms of recruiting - that means finding talent from more diverse backgrounds (i.e. non traditional) and giving people who have the skills for a job but aren't getting into the pipelines because of their non CS degree or lack of degree requirement) Unfortunately, bootcamp grads weren't meeting the skill requirement and don't perform as well on interviews compared to CS grads (overall, not case by case) so you could argue that DEI doesn't really apply because the people weren't qualified anyways for those roles, but because of the diversity aspect DEI recruiters were the main ones looking at bootcamps at all before. If those people lose their jobs or are reassigned, I don't think anyone else will even look.
