Because a student who just graduated should not be teaching new students. They are way too junior and inexperience even if they are the top in their class. The bootcamp should be investing in quality instructors.
Also, some bootcamps hire students that have trouble finding a job in order to keep their percentage of students finding jobs high.
- waisland 11y agoThis assumes that students hired by bootcamps are in primary teaching roles-- they're not! They usually end up employed as teaching _assistants_, which they are definitely qualified for. This also gives them an opportunity to continue learning while being paid, and it helps them launch into bigger and better jobs. Source: I was a bootcamp grad who was thrilled to be hired by my bootcamp. I learned a ton there. I work for Udacity now :)
- ccontrast 11y agoCan I get in touch with you?
- abustamam 11y agoYou can get in touch with me! rasheed [dot] bustamam [at] gmail [dot] com I'm a Udacity graduate who works "for" Udacity as a code reviewer, and I had a mentorship role not too long ago. The general rule was, if you don't know the answer, direct the students to more senior person, but there were very few questions that students had that I was unable to answer. I actually learned more as a mentor than I did as a student, which was nice.
