> Beware of bootcamps that promise work in 6 months. My experience with TripleTen.
I'm a corporate banking executive and I took the TripleTen bootcamp looking for a career change. Not out of financial need, but for mental health reasons: the pressure of goals in banking, even if well-paid, can wear you down.
I was convinced by their promise of employment in 6 months or a refund. I finished the program, followed all the steps, participated in simulations, CV workshops, mock interviews, etc.
The 6 months passed **and I didn't get a job**.
Since then, a battle of evasions began. They never tell me directly that **they won't refund me**, but they don't approve it either. They just put me off: calls to "continue supporting me in my search," and via email or chat **generic responses** like "we're reviewing your case." I've been like this for over a month.
The worst thing is that the "6-month" deadline **is no coincidence**. If you add the course duration to those 6 additional months, the legal deadline for filing a complaint with PROFECO (Mexico) has passed. It's designed so you can't file a claim.
Furthermore, the course content is very basic. I confirmed this by speaking with people in the industry and seeing how serious companies **request profiles with more solid training**: math, systems, actuarial science. Some recruiters don't even interview bootcamp graduates without real technical experience.
I'm writing this post because I know that for many people, **investing in a bootcamp represents a huge financial effort**, and they do so expecting a change that simply doesn't come. I hope my experience helps.
If you're considering entering one of these programs, **do it with your eyes wide open**. There are more accessible and honest options to learn the same things on your own.
