Do you still think launch academy core +/- the capstone program is the best way to go if you choose the non degree route? They still seem to have good placement for grads, and the idea of focusing on mastery of the fundamentals makes more sense than just cramming for 3-6 months

Launch School Core + Capstone works but with caveats - no bootcamp works for everyone
1. Try it first and see if the style is a good fit. I advise this for all bootcamps, but each one has its own style of learning and you want to make sure you connect with it instead of relying on others saying it worked for them.
2. They are small. You get personal attention and support in your job hunt that is effective, but it's very hard to scale past a cohort at a time to maintain what makes them special. This isn't a negative thing, it's actually a positive thing for you as a student, but it means that they will likely stay small and selective and aren't the magical answer for the whole industry that 10000 people a year should go to.
