I’m trying to figure out if bootcamps are still worth it in the current market. A few years ago it sounded like people were getting hired pretty quickly after graduating, but now I mostly hear stories about long job searches even after finishing expensive programs.

Mine wasn’t, and it was free. The most important things to look for are job placement programs upon completion and financial assistance during the program. Tech is a nightmare right now though, and in my opinion you’re better off pursuing blue collar jobs that aren’t going anywhere. Construction and medicine don’t seem glamorous but they are always hiring.

If there is a high success rate for passing certification and referrals for jobs, I think it would be worth it. Also, if you’re starting fresh into a new career field, I wouldn’t hold much value to it until you gain some experience.

No, bootcamps are no longer worth it. At one time they were viable entry into tech but those days are over. Nobody is hiring entry level so please stop asking the same (slightly re-worded) question week after week.

"I am a highly motivated, ambitious, and skilled professional with a strong desire to learn, grow, and take on new challenges. Although I may not have all the academic credentials that some employers require, I have gained valuable knowledge and expertise through years of hands-on experience, hard work, and dedication. My skills have been built in real-world environments where results, problem-solving, and reliability matter most. I am eager to continue expanding my knowledge, developing my abilities, and contributing to the company's growth, innovation, and long-term success. I believe that while a diploma can open doors, experience, commitment, and performance are what truly create value." 🔧💪🚜

I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
