So NuCamp has no bar and focuses on experience outcomes instead of job placements. To be fair, if you wanted to compare it to Codesmith say, you would need to take a sample of people who got accepted to Codesmith and have them do NuCamp instead, and then compare the outcomes, otherwise it's apples and oranges.
That said, NuCamp only has 4ish hours once a week of live instruction, and the rest is self study, homework, graded work, etc... so that's also how they keep the cost down. Whereas a lot of programs have instructors 8+ hours a day... and keep costs down by hiring former students to teach.

Do you think it would be possible to find a job after doing the Nucamp bootcamp? Or employers don’t really look at it seriously?

I think it might be more helpful to get a job in tech than SWE job. Like a customer support type role that involves using complex tools etc... I also think it helps as a one piece of the puzzle to become a SWE but with additional training and prep.
