I mean this is Reddit after all and everyone is anonymous so you should always talk to people who went to the Bootcamps and try to see how people similar to yourself progressed. Focus on the "how" and not just qualifiers like "awesome, supportive, depth", like "how" does the day to day work and really get in there. There are some very good Bootcamps that are never even mentioned here as well! 1. Codesmith has a high bar of entry, and is very intense, but if it's a good fit for you, they have very solid outcomes and very solid placement rates. They really have the process down for being competitive on the job market. 2. Rithm School is good for an intimate bootcamp with lots of instructor access. You do a mini internship with a real company/client/project. 3. Hack Reactor is fairly well rounded, hard to get into, rigorous, strong network. 4. Launch School is a monthly self paced approach and if you do really well you can apply into their capstone project that has good outcomes (it is fairly hard to get into though) And then many more... the key in listed these is that each one has a very different approach so you want to find the bootcamp that's right for you by talking to many former students. Finally, don't ever plan your life around getting job on any timeframe someone tells you, there are no guarantees.
