This just shows how game changing bootcamps and the like are. People with no software background can go from no experience to a job paying 130k a year with a year of training. That's downright miraculous.
- protonimitate 8y agoI think it says more about how unrelated traditional CS programs are to getting students "work force ready". While I wont deny the foundational knowledge that CS degrees can offer, it doesn't seem to make much a difference in earning potential. The biggest difference between CS degree holders and bootcampers / no degree holders is the amount of time + effort required to land that first job. It seems that once you land that first job, there is not a huge difference in earnings between traditional and non-traditional engineers. Will be interesting to see how it plays out over time. I'm curious what the average earnings will be between bootcampers vs 'others' in 15-20 years.
- JoshTko 8y agoI'm not sure that this is what this data means. This report seems to be based on a very specific dataset of Triplebyte registered accounts. There are probably far more bootcamp grads that do not work as a developer and/or not registered on Triplebyte that are unaccounted for. Even bootcamp sites are probably inflating their salaries by only reporting those that graduates AND got a job in SWE.
- cm2012 8y agoBut still - an appreciable amount of bootcamp grads are factually making this amount of salary. Even if it's not the average, it's still amazing.
