Just bombed a technical interview and I think my bootcamp failed me

Yeah, you're still sugar-coating though and that's not beneficial to OP. Everyone is in charge of their own education. The bootcamp didn't "make" anyone feel like they're prepared. Sure, they maybe weren't brutally honest, but there's no excuse in 2026 to seek answers about what

If that's the case then why do they show giant $110,000! 90% placement! on their homepages if you are supposed to know going in that you would have to "way more than the lessons" on your own. I absolutely agree on accountbility, but I'm more centrist. Both people should not expect a golden ticket AND bootcamps shouldn't promise one. Literally one of the top bootcamps was telling people end of 2025 to not listen to the negative noise and that you can be next... like wtf.
