Hi Rachel thanks for writing. I went to a bootcamp in 2020 and was previously making $50k. I now make $100k in under 2 years of graduating. Collectively my friend group of 14 people that graduated Flatiron together in 2020 are on average making over $100k. These are people who were making nothing to at most $60k. I have a friend with no on the job coding experience (but related work) who landed a job at Amazon for $170k. This is not a joke I am just surprised as you that someone with only 4 months of bootcamp and a year of on the job related experience could make that. However, that is the reality of the job market right now. Some of those friends work for JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Amazon, Google, Fox, the Washington Post. Their lives are changed. To tell anyone they shouldn’t go to a bootcamp is off the mark. Sure there is attrition but that has to do with personal drive not the school. Anyone can do this if they are truly committed. I would also add that bootcamps do teach you the on the job skills to be a dev. Within a week of being on the job I was able to make my first PR and contribute to the codebase, you can look at my GitHub if you want to see just how much this bootcamp grad was able to contribute starting December 2020.
