I'm a currently working software engineer from Lambda, who knows other people who succeeded at Lambda and other bootcamps.
The TA thing, a TA doesn't teach, a TA pretty much grades/code reviews. They answered questions. (I did this while I was hunting for a job).
They also don't count that towards placement.
I have an IS degree, but some other people I know succeed with pretty much anything you can think of. I don't have enough of a sample size to know if we're all just exceptions or not.

- MivLives 5y agoI guess I should have used the word lecture. Maybe they do lecture now, it's been awhile since I was involved.
- abeyer 5y agoMany would argue that lecturing is (/should be) the least important or impactful part of teaching.
- Grimm1 5y agoMan, in college I designed the curriculum for, led 7 other TAs, graded and lectured the introductory CS course with 300+ students for two semesters. Clearly I should have told them I was the teacher (Ha!) and should have been paid more than 23/hr but nope my title was Head TA while the professor, who admittedly I hold in high regard supervised to make sure things didn't go off the rails. Honestly it was a great learning experience but yeah sometimes I think about that and laugh to myself.
