Real talk. lol. And it's already affecting the market b/c starting salaries have dropped by 10-20k out here. Mine was subsidized, so I literally had nothing to lose (but time). They're still a great look for people that are looking to break into IT fast, tho. For now, they're still a smart investment if you plan to stay in that industry. Two years from now gon' be a completely different scene, tho.
Yup these were all created to drive wages down thats why big companies get behind them but they are seeing that you simply cant make someone a good developer in a few weeks

Agreed. I mean, there are a plethora of bootcamp grads that have done very well for themselves. But percentage-wise, things have not gone well in the long-term. It also depends on the strength of the bootcamp, as they are not all created equal. I did well, but it had more to do with my IQ and ability to acquire new languages than anything else. I have always fared better with accelerated learning than I have in a more traditional capacity. But even with all that being said, there is still a clear difference between myself and the other dev's who did not crash course their way into their positions. I have an advantage when it comes to the specific language covered by my bootcamp, but overall understanding of project structure and flow has been more of a challenge. It also doesn't help that I have been on 3 different teams in the past 6 months. lol. Each time I become familiar with a project, the exec's wanna change some ish up.

You can also try Virtual Box or if you have Windows 10 pro you can use Hyper-V.
I graduate in December and I probably have applied for like 100 entry level college grad IT jobs/programs since September. I still haven't even heard back from like a half of the companies I applied to and my applications are still in the "received" status. The other half I was rejected without any contact or for like 10 jobs rejected after doing a hirevue interview. I had an in person interview last Tuesday in person, but I'm still waiting on the results. Is finding a job supposed to be this hard, or am I just probably bad at kissing ass?
Before this Security Job, were all your previous IT jobs Helpdesk/Desktop support?
Sounds par for the course
. Same shyt I'm going through.
