Intruiging. Well don't be surprised if nobody gets around to DMing you anytime soon though. In our post Covid RTO layoff world, odds are many successful Bootcamp grads are now likely celebrating their 1 yr+ unemployment anniversary. And odds are a good majority of them are suffe

Well doing research is about trying to get to the heart of the data and anecdotes and putting together a story. If they only got really positive or negative stories that would be insufficient without the accompanying fact checking. Like if all the stories are positive and then someone looks at like CIRR data and see 6 months outcomes tanking, salaries dropping, etc... BUT ALSO that some people do get jobs.... Then the facts speak for themselves - the trend is terrible for bootcamp grads, bootcamps are closing left right and center, and some people still get jobs from them. If she's a good journalist and digs I'm looking forward to seeing what she finds.
