Wow I had no idea it was that bad. I always knew that the job market is tough in general right now for everyone that’s nothing new. But I didn’t know that they gutted so many services, I didn’t think they would go the same way as app academy. Darn I would love to talk with you m

It's indeed this bad in general, most bootcamps are shutting down. The ones left are either: 1. Part of giant companies that run the back-office and they have made so many cuts to the programs they are barebones 2. Tiny programs with like 10 to 20 people at a time, run and led by the founder, that attract and accept only the right people. I personally would only consider #2. And even in #2 people are constantly complaining that they are falling apart too. The only program I haven't heard complaints about is Launch School. The complaints at other places might not be warranted and maybe are frustration about the market - but the industry is hanging on by a thread.
