speaking as someone who's interviewed a LOT of bootcamp "graduates" i'd also say it's a terrible waste of money and human resources. Let the bootcamps do it. There are way to many people who go through them who aren't up to the standards any reasonable company would want. There are definitely some gems in there BUT...
also teaching is actually really hard, and to do it right requires someone who understands how people learn, not just someone who knows how to do x.
also, teaching bootcamp cirriculim is a full time job for multiple people. You up for that?
> I will pay entry level folks to join the bootcamp and out of the batch, I will then hire the best candidates once bootcamp is over. So there really is no downside to the bootcampers.
as a somewhat snarky aside: The idea of taking low paid people and teach them to do a task, and then if they do it really well, you pay them more to continue doing it, is an established idea called an internship.
- codegeek 7y agoWell, there you go. I probably should hire interns and your comment gives me more clarity. Thank you for that.
