This is run by Trilogy right? They have a reputation of accepting too low of a bar and pushing people along that might not be ready.
Imposter syndrome is a complex topic. Feeling uncomfortable constantly can be a sign of constant growth. At the same time, people learn at different paces. A lot of people graduate college shorter longer and not on the exact four year to the day timeline. Bootcamps have a hyper compressed timeline where you’ll spend like a day sometimes on a topic or two days and it’s the exact opposite of learning on your pace. So people tend to feel imposter syndrome at bootcamps as a result. The best bootcamps right now have a high bar of entry so that people are pre-vetted to be able to follow the pace of the bootcamp so they are more successful at that.
So the short answer is you probably are a bit behind but it also doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to make it it just might take longer and more training after this bootcamp.
Disclosure. I’m the cofounder of a program that trains people with work experience aiming to level up to top tier jobs. Many people I work with has gone to bootcamps in the past. We have built a program that combats the above problems by throwing away a fixed timeframe, adapting to your pace and pushing you a little bit every week, and then you get the job you want when you are ready. So I’m biased that this approach to training and learning is better than a fixed one.
