Help choosing bootcamp

We're starting to see a consolidation of bootcamps into lower priced and less hands on options (e.g. CodingTemple "bought" App Academy and App Academy's website is now just a layer on top of Coding Template). The lower cost ones also had lower expenses (e.g. Springboard, Triple Ten) and they continue because they can eat into their margins and still be barely profitable by adding substantial costs to marketing and discounts. While my opinion of the materials is they are akin to a through/extensive Udemy course + having some humans around to contact and get help They will survive as long as people say 'this isn't that expensive so I'll give it a shot' or if companies say 'this isn't that expensive so we'll reimburse it'. Springboard's California reporting shows that only 3% of people finish the SWE track program "on time" and you should check the fine print of any job guarantee to see if it requires finishing the program in a certain time period to qualify. Self paced online programs shouldn't have a high completion rate or it's a flag because people take these courses for flexibility - often because they have a lot going on - and often times life gets in the way of completing.
