From what I've heard, it's very difficult to get your foot in the door with only a coding bootcamp and that a lot of HR people filter for that CS degree.
Personally, I've definitely seen an ROI on my CS degree. Would my ROI be better if I had gone to a lower-cost and shorter-time coding bootcamp? Maybe. Would my job prospects have been just as good? I'm doubting it.
That said, I have not seen an actual articles studying the job rates and starting salaries of people with a CS degree versus a bootcamp. It's all been anecdotal from what I've seen on reddit, and certainly subject to confirmation bias.
