Yea I just finished interviewing 8+ bootcamp developers for position. They really struggled, where I'm thinking bootcamps have adopted the same financial model as those really scammy for profit colleges.
- legerdemain 5y agoThey didn't "adopt the same model," they were purchased. Almost all bootcamps are owned by companies like Kaplan and the University of Phoenix. I think Lambda School is one of the very few surviving independent ones, although its reputation was so atrocious that it was forced to rebrand.
- stuckinhell 5y agoWow I didn't know that. Thanks!
- legerdemain 5y agoThe other independent program that comes to mind easily is Ada Academy, but it accepts something like 20 students per year out of hundreds of applicants, so it's not a realistic option for basically anyone looking to enter the coding trades.
