I’m in a bootcamp now, they were very upfront about everything can be learned online for free and they were paying to ask questions and get fast answers. Also very realistic on the job market. “NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR BOOTCAMP EXPERIENCE “ Many have good reason to be in the bootc

I have this debate often, but my problem is that go to the bootcamp's website and if you see a $100,000! or 90% placement rate in large font in the hero section, then you are paying for a job and not for an "experience".
If you want to pay $20K for an experience, go ahead, but the typical reasonable person who see that "70% of people make $110K" is not.
And if those numbers or misleading then it pisses a lot of people off who paid for that outcome.
I like Launch School because their website doesn't have a bit salary number on it and the hero says that it's the "slow path" to becoming an engineer.
You decide if that's for you or not but it's not misleading.
People disagree with me on this and I'm open to debate but I feel strongly about my opinion haha.
