How many people in your cohort got jobs and in what timeframe? Second, does your resume and LinkedIn reflect that you have no experience? Third, it's important to hear from you in 1-2 years because a lot of bootcamp grads are having a hard time keeping jobs right now.
It's great you got a job but you are making it sound like everyone gets jobs and the entire data backed argument right now is that like half as many people are getting jobs as in the past and it's taking like twice as long to get to the same placement rate.
You would be an idiot not to question going to a bootcamp right now with data like that.
And this is data from Codesmith, one of the top bootcamps.
Staff members have been abandoning ship for 2 years now and almost no one is left. As of last week almost the whole full time company has turned over in the past year so any experience prior to that would be completely different.
I also have a personal beef, but I have high integrity and am looking at this rationally.
If you can't look at it rationally and want to choose a bootcamp based on anecdotal stories of a few people getting packed and telling you you can do it then you shouldn't be an engineer because you can't think critically and are being emotionally manipulated.
