I know you read nothing but doom and gloom. There are absolutely people getting hired. Ask yourself this though: what do you think makes a CS grad more hire-able than a self taught or boot camp grad? As a hiring manager I never cared - you get the same interview… https://preview

They care at FAANG at at top tier startups.
If it's not obvious that a CS grad with 3 to 6 FAANG internships and 4 years of CS courses is more qualified than a bootcamp grad with no CS courses and a 12 week bootcamp, then I'm happy to go into extensive detail why.
Passing the interview is one thing and bootcamps focus too much on that as the end game. It's just the FIRST STEP not the last, and bootcamp grads are very far behind on the job.
Ask yourself why top tier tech companies - after giving bootcamp grads a shot - prioritize recruiting from Stanford and MIT and don't recruit systematically from any bootcamps, even the best ones.
