Some people believe in manifesting positivity to build confidence. I actually think it helps a lot if the market is good and you need to stand out. Right now it's irrational to do a bootcamp. I've been evaluating things rationally for 3 years now, pushing numerous bootcamps on what I perceive as 'reality' vs what they are 'marketing'. Each bootcamp is unique and shouldn't be bundled together, but it's been a rough go for most of them the past few years. One or more bootcamps are down to less than a skeleton crew of staff and still charging $20K+. It's been very costly for my personal reputation to do this with zero benefit. Be careful not to cross the wrong people in this industry.
