A bootcamp gets you the requisite education to be an entry-level engineer at a place like Google or Facebook. However, these jobs are mostly training (like a bootcamp) for you to become a more senior engineer, where you will actually be designing systems and coordinating with others. In a senior job, your job is more about communicating with people and making predictions about what will happen when you eventually build something. The skills bootcamp graduates don't pick up are things like math, writing, and research skills. You don't use those skills as a code-slinging junior engineer, but when you start coordinating with other people and doing things like designing large-scale systems, you may find yourself doing a lot more math and writing than you think.
