I agree that anything suggesting you'll get a high-paying job as a coder (or "SWE" to sound fancy) after a short bootcamp is misleading. I've seen those before.

I agree that anything suggesting you'll get a high-paying job as a coder (or "SWE" to sound fancy) after a short bootcamp is misleading. I've seen those before. I really feel like a proper bachelor's comp-sci degree made a huge difference for me, even though I also had to self-teach a ton of stuff. Not sure if Women who Code made any such promises. There are plenty of lower-paying coding jobs or jobs that involve coding as a useful skill, and a bootcamp can help with that. Or, maybe someone has the CS background but not the practical skills.
