Majority of them are even more
Well tbh it depends on the job and the city you're applying at, plus you have to take in the fact that alot of them take 10-15% of your first years salary in addition, also you have to take into consideration that those are only the ones who graduate(because they don't have to graduate you) and a large percentage of those people already know how to code. You should do it if you want, but you should be realistic about the sheer amount of work and long hours that await you -- if you're going from absolute zero.

That's too much money for me. I'd rather teach myself. :francis:


Where's that breh that was gonna teach us how to get certs? He gave us a syllabus to use and everything. I'm too lazy to look in my bookmarks. Paying for the coding dojo <<<<<<<< learning on the coli for free. :blessed:

You fools are crazy if you think employers will select someone from a bootcamp and no experience over a Computer science degree :mjlol:
Computer science degrees don't teach you how to write shippable code quickly. Thats what, and the only thing coding bootcamps do, and that's what makes the market valuable. Turns out, a whole bunch of people want apps made quickly, and they have connections to various places to get you wired up in the industry. That's why when you go to a bootcamp people typically don't leave the city they bootcamped at, you find work and stay there.

Read tha article, 97% got jobs within 6 months

FOH :camby:

I'll ask again, how many years of experience do you have and what languages are you proficient in?

Also please show me a job description that pays 70k with just 3 months of training.

Threads like these are always hilarious. You always got dudes who don't even have an IT job wanna give cats career advice :wow:

You can come out with a 60k job, but you better like what you're doing and you better be prepared to study outside of work. A few of the guys at my job got put on through bootcamps. I think only one of them started from scratch and it was his first time programming through the bootcamp. Yes, you can get a job with those bootcamps, but those bootcamps are rigorous and expensive. In fact, you don't even need a bootcamp. You can get a job if you put up several projects of your own... which is what I did... but that involved me taking a year off of work and studying nonstop in my own time and going through programming books cover to cover.

The thing is, the level of effort you're going to have to put in as a successful programmer is equivalent to the same amount of effort you're going to have to put in to be successful in any field if not greater. I'm telling you, sample programming out first. If you don't like it, then you really don't want to dump your 10,000 or a year down the drain... and with these bootcamps pumping out all of these candidates, the wages are going to start going down unless you are highly skilled, so be ready to put in your work. The money is there, but be ready to work.
