Agreed, neither a 4 yr degree nor a bootcamp is a guarantee of success. But one of the biggest things I am looking for out of new grads is base-level systems thinking capabilities. I'd rather have that than dev-skills, and, ime, CS grads tend to be more likely to be trained in that way (but every candidate is unique).
But I think bootcamps are at a disadvantage in such comparisons because they tend to be so accelerated -- I wonder what a good 2 year bootcamp curriculum would look like.
- jbluepolarbear 4y agoI guess it’s different requirements. I’d rather a candidate with dev-skills. I haven’t seen any correlation of cs grads being easier to teach. It’s the opposite in my experience; a candidate with dev skills is likely to pick up systems design faster than someone with none.
