Unless a bootcamp graduates 100% of those who sign up and has no filters on who may apply, there is some selection effect. Even without these there is some selection effect in just the people having to choose to attend.
If you took 100 random people and put them in a coding bootcamp, I would expect far worse results.
- lloyd-christmas 11y agoThe thing is that bootcamps are also businesses trying to grow. The filtering process exists, but it's not as great as it should be. I took one of them, and wish about 25% of my class hadn't been accepted so we could have actually picked up the pace. Regardless, no hiring manager should expect someone to jump into a professional role. The program teaches you the basics and how to find relevant resources to help you learn. If a hiring manager is expecting more than that, that's on them, not the program.
