What's not true about it? I didn't say people didn't get jobs, I said they were the lowest ranked in priority and still are, so if there is more demand for engineers - bootcampers get jobs and less demand - they don't make the cut. On an individual basis you are you and you might get a job no problem, maybe in 1 month. We don't need more bootcamp weight loss commercials "I lost 50 lbs in 8 week" type things - I'm speaking to the entire top tier tech market and they bootcamp grads were the bottom of the list of priority, even self taught people that made it past the first rounds were above them. Of the four million software engineers, a single fraction of a percent came from bootcamps, probably 100K out of 4M
