Two reasons come to mind: 1. People who just graduated from a 12 week bootcamp are not really practiced and skilled enough to be mentoring others, imo. 2. It sounds like a way to inflate the bootcamp's placement rates, which seems really sketchy and borderline false advertising to me. My friend is considering this bootcamp around here called DevMountain and was telling me that the placement rate is supposedly around 90-95% within 3 months of graduation. This is for a 13-week program that costs over $10,000 I think. It might be a great program, but it sounds expensive to me and that placement rate sounds too good to be true. I warned my friend that they've probably found some way to manipulate that number, like people getting short-term contracts or something. My friend hears "90% placement within 3 months" and thinks he's got a 90% chance of getting a good, full-time job within 3 months of finishing the program (which is probably what the bootcamp wants him to think).
