    I did a bootcamp and it helped me jumpstart a career in web development, but several friends tried it after I did and never got a job. Because of that I don't recommend it to anyone without a lot caution. I think I'll send this video to people next time I get asked. Thanks for making it

    I got my career started by having done a bootcamp. However, this bootcamp didn't promise any work, only that you would learn how to code, which I eventually did. I later got my foot in the door by working for free and from there a paid job. My point is, bootcamps can be great for getting you up to a junior technical level and it's up to you to get yourself a foot in the door afterwards :)

      How did you go about working for free I ask because I just graduated from a bootcamp and your advice would be appreciated

    Given your unique insights and perspective, I think it would be amazing if you could create a video on alternative routes to break into the tech industry. I understand that there are already many videos on this topic, but I believe your perspective would add real value and offer fresh insights that could benefit the wider community.

      It's definitely something that's been bouncing around in my head. At one point I considered including it in this video, but I quickly realized that if I included everything it would ridiculously long.
      One thing that makes me want to approach the topic carefully is the fact that I went through a more traditional path, and as I've gotten older, I've gotten more cautious about handing out advice for things I haven't experienced first hand. So whenever I get to that video, I'll try to back it up by more than, "I hear this is what other people did."

    My impression of bootcamps too. Also, u misss out on a lot of important topics, i.e., basic networking. It can never replace a traditional degree. But then again, there are free bootcamps sponsored by the government in some places.

    I’m looking into these UX/UI bootcamps with the exact same mindset as you. So many feel like MLM traps, and I’m struggling to find the reliable ones. No matter what program, ultimately, it feels like it will only be surface level step 1 stuff, and much of the work to get to where I want to be will be on my shoulders, to go above and beyond the course’s feeble promises. Which bootcamps have you found to not be scams?

    Meh. I feel sort of like...
    If you looked at the true statistics of life in general, you might just give up right now.
    But a lot of that is because most people aren't a good fit for what they are trying to do.
    The remedy is always self-awareness and personal efficacy.

    "just work harder" - yea this crap always bothers me about the bootcamps. They love to sell you on the idea that their students/candidates are a turbo hardworking group of misfit toys that just need a little bump. Once they get their resume in the pile the recruiter will clearly see how badass these bootcamp grads are compared to the cs majors who definitely partied their way through college and barely passed. A college degree is just a piece of paper right?
    Yea no. If you are thinking about doing a bootcamp I strongly suggest you actually look at the resumes/portfolios/projects of cs grads. There are an abundance of them who definitely did not fuck around for 4 years in college and their resume is going to blow yours out of the water.

    I enrolled in a BootCamp hoping to jumpstart my career in web development. However, I found it too expensive and dropped out. Later, I realized that I could learn the same concepts and terminology online for free. Nonetheless, I must admit that the BootCamp did provide a helpful push to get started.

    My friend go to bootcamp and broke. Many of them out of money, time, and energy. I believe everything not for everyone. Coding especially! need a lot of hardwork, persistance and effort to get a job into tech. But bootcamp only sell the sweet story from job switching without detail behind it..

    Coding bootcamp can be better than the last one but they will never give you the proper engineering education that a degree will give you. Based from own experience
