You might find some 50+ software engineers embedded in industry verticals, usually moved their from other parts of the company after having proved adept at IT skills or cross-hired as seniors from the software consulting industry, usually skilled in a legacy tech the company uses (Cobol and RPG used to be the prime examples).
A medium to large software company never hires 45, a small software company almost never hires 35+.
As for the "bootcamp graduades", there is huge variance in the outcomes, but the median result is very disappointing.
- sokoloff 4y agoI wonder how much of the median bootcamper is disappointing pattern is from a strong selection effect. Programming is interesting and easy for some and boring and hard for others. People for whom it’s easy are somewhat more likely to have found it via a non-bootcamp path. If cooking suddenly became very lucrative and I went to a culinary bootcamp right now, I’d almost surely be a failure at a career change in that direction in large part because for 40+ years of being exposed to cooking, I showed no significant prior interest.
