This won’t happen until the signalling that comes with hiring from [elite school] diminishes and/or the signalling that comes with hiring from [code bootcamp] surpasses it.
- dentemple 7y agoThe signaling from [elite school] doesn't matter as much (to that applicant's competitors) if there aren't enough elite school graduates to fill positions. A startup can hold out for MIT grads for as long as they want, but they ain't getting one if every other startup is doing the same. _Someone_ is getting hired at the end of the day. A company that's looking to grow rapidly can't hold out forever.
- dyarosla 7y agoI mean yes, some bootcamps have started cementing their own signal too (see Lambda) but I don’t know whether that many code bootcamps will surpass [second tier schools]’ signals. You are right tho that there will be a supply problem either way.
- bdcravens 7y agoIf bootcamps churn out employees who are productive from day 1 that will fix the problem. However, when you see a resume from a bootcamper who over the course of 4 months learned Linux, AWS, Javascript, jQuery, Node, SQL, Ruby on Rails, and React, it invites skepticism.
