I don't show up here just waiting for bootcamps to die and people to fail so I feel good about my day.... whatever the times are - bootcamps have a reputation of stretching the marketing, and I'm here to try to make sure people see it how it is.

hey thanks for posting this! How was your experience job hunting? Time to offer, remote vs. in person etc.

Just be careful. I'm a big fan of celebrating success. But when one off success gives you hope to replicate it, in this market you cannot. Every placement is one off and unique and there is no entry level hiring right now and one off stories don't change the reality of the market.
