> The significant quantity of bootcamp graduates also landing jobs does too. Bootcamp graduates aren't really "software engineers" yet, let alone good ones. They require close mentorship by a software engineer to get to a point they can do useful work unsupervised. That guy who mentors them did take several years to learn his craft. These bootcamp graduates may eventually become good engineers, but it will take a few years. So either way, it takes several years to become a good software engineer, just like GP claims. Also, I'm not even sure how many "bootcamp graduates" are landing good industry jobs. I mean no disrespect, but generally most jobs that can afford to be selective prefer experienced engineers or graduates of 4 year programs. Finally, I'd love to see some numbers, but I don't see a massive flood of bootcamp graduates landing jobs in the industry. They are relatively rare in all places I've worked at.
