Thanks for sharing this, more people than you know relate to this journey of stops and starts and ups and downs. The bootcamps are so eager to place you that for them, the END is the placement. For you that's just the START. So they focus on getting the job through whatever means, and not what happens after. Even the bootcamps that think they offer support for life, really have no idea just how many gaps there really are to supporting someone long term. And it makes sense, a different focus and a different expertise than 0 to 1.
