FWIW, many teachers are only at bootcamps for a year or two before moving on to work for normal companies. I didn’t go through a boot camp, but I do work with people who did and were teachers at those boot camps before working here. From what I understand, teaching is generally seen as a positive signal (if the boot camp is a good one), because it means they know the material well enough to teach it. I can totally imagine the opposite becoming true (teaching is a negative signal), creating a positive feedback loop in the opposite direction, and turning the boot camp into a pyramid scheme. I guess it all depends on the credibility of the boot camp, kind of analogous to universities, as a sibling commenter points out.
