Awesome Inc. has shut down their paid coding bootcamps. They are located in Lexington, KY. Their last cohort was Spring 2024. They are the only paid coding bootcamp that I know that posts a public online directory of their alumni.

Yeah +1 to bootcamps with local connections. That was how Tech Elevator worked too and it was incredible until hiring stopped.

Good afternoon Michael, did I need to talk to you about bootcamp and other things? Would you have free time to talk to me?

Hi, I can chat async in DM but I don't do calls and it's one of the reason I'm very responsive. As general advice, you should never do a bootcamp if it's your only option and you don't have backup plans.
