App Academy, advice

I have to disclose bias because my company works with engineers later in their careers to help prepare for interviews and about 1/4 of people were bootcamp grads in the past. But I'm very curious how you even came up with the idea of going to App Academy because they sold their brand to Coding Temple and it's their course now as of about a year ago, so anything you heard about App Academy before then is completely irrelevant. If you are asking if you should go to a bootcamp in general, there are a very small number of people who have industry experience that go to bootcamps and my opinion is that placement depends more on you than the bootcamp. Meaning the people that get placed didn't need the bootcamp, they needed a self confidence boost that the bootcamp gave them... like doing a 3 week project and framing it as 2 years of work to help get interviews and feeling confident in framing it that way. Which to me isn't a great approach in my opinion, but you do you.and it's worked for a handful of people. If you are just trying to pass interviews go to Interview Kickstart or Formation (my company) or self study using something cheaper. If you have gaps in getting interviews consider a masters degree or doing one of Stanford courses for $6K each online.
