Even the best bootcamps with tanking placements rates are having placements for the right subset of people who join.
So if the program is transparent and clear about how things are in 2025 (not 2023 grads or 2024 grads) then I would spend some time seeing if it's good for you or not and then decide.
But the market in 2025 is not good for bootcamp grads and your odds of a good outcome are low in my opinion so you have to be very self reflective about if it's a good fit for you.
For example, someone on Reddit commented recently that they went to a top bootcamp routing a high placement rate and graduated early 2025 very few people are placed yet and going to the bootcamp convinced them to not be a SWE and they thought it was worth the fee to learn this - which not everyone would agree with and is a personal situation unique for this person.
I stand by my recent "red flags" post and "who should go to a boot camp in 2025", posts.
