Ask HN: What type of job did you get after going through a coding bootcamp?
As someone who's looking for a career change, I've been reading bootcamps reviews trying to find some that would fit my short/long term goals, but I haven't found a good information source about job roles after the camp. A lot of the reviews I read mention getting a job as a "software/fullstack developer", but what's the focus? What tech do you use now and how much of that came from the camp itself? I don't want to rely only on what the camps publish/say for obvious reasons and I imagine I'm not the only one wondering where people go after the camp, so I'm starting this in the hopes of getting more relevant, unfiltered info.
If you've been through a cohort, please state: • school and course; • job you landed; • startup? big company? started your own thing? • tech you're working with now. How much did it come from the camp? • how long did it take you to land the job after the camp; • how long have you been working/worked there for; • any personal notes about the camp/job you'd like to add? • if you know the above for someone else, please share too!
If you want to share the salary too, be my guest. You can get a pretty good idea on salary range if you search for it anyway. I'm more interested in the program-job role relation.
Disclaimer: I don't work for a bootcamp or for a company looking to hire or for anyone else. I simply want to get a feeling of what type of career people start after the camp.
