I did a bootcamp fall 2014 in Vancouver. I got a couple decent job offers the week I finished, took one of them with a startup, and have been working there since. I had no professional experience before, but took 8 months off before the bootcamp to prepare and was probably the most prepared student in the cohort. Looking at where my peers are now, I would say that about 50% have turned it into a good career, and the others either changed course or quit. The curriculum gave me a pretty solid start, though it leaned heavily on libraries and getting things done. Starting my job I felt productive in a very narrow sense, and needed pretty direct supervision for about 6 months before I was at a place to work mostly autonomously.
