I went to a code bootcamp 3 years ago. Now I make over 6 figures doing java in a LCOL state.
The code place I went to did a really good job preparing me for the actual work. I am a senior level contractor and actually get to work on interesting stuff.
I know over 10 people off the top of my head who also went to code bootcamps and are all making over 70k in LCOL locations. They are thriving and not hack's in the least.
- therealdrag0 9y ago> LCOL = Low Cost of Living (In case others don't know.)
- lint_roller 9y agoWhat's the trick to getting six figure work in LCOL areas?
- yeahbaby 9y agoWork through a recruiter, find a java gig at a fortune 100 company, then demand over 6 figures as your rate. If you have a decent work history and are actually competent and well put together - they will pay.
- amdavidson 9y agoWhat does HN consider a LOCL state? SF / NYC are certainly not, Mississippi certainly is, but where is the threshold? Oregon? Colorado? Vermont? Pennsylvania?
