Yeah this. The best engineers are the ones with non traditional paths, but 95% of bootcamp grads struggle due to lack of experience and it takes a while to catch up. I've seen many catch up eventually but they have to acknowledge the gaps and work through them to build confidence.
There's a dangerous trend of bootcamp grads exaggerating their experience and overcoming imposter syndrome in doing so, but that's all cult-like dangerous stuff.
