Coding Bootcamps: From $0 to $100k in 12 Weeks?
Coding bootcamps provide an opportunity for those looking to change careers into software engineering by promising the potential to attain a $100k a year salary after completing the 12 week course.
In 2015, I attended General Assembly's Web Development Immersive coding bootcamp, and in 2018, I attended Hack Reactor's Remote Part Time program.
Since 2017, a third party reporting agency was created to help regulate the industry and the pseudo reporting that the bootcamps were doing for a few years. Since the reporting has been taking place, the industry seems to have clean up a bit with the over reporting of employment numbers and job placement rates.
No longer can companies use students' going back to their old career or employer, or being hired by the bootcamp that taught them, employment towards the overall employment numbers for the job placement rates.
Bootcamps discussed in this video:
Hack Reactor
App Academy
General Assembly
Dev Bootcamp
I have a positive view of the bootcamp community. But I do not endorse the 12 week model for complete newbies as it is not nearly enough time to take a complete beginner to being a software engineer with solid computer science fundamentals. For those who have industry experience and a tech background, then the 12 week model may be for you.
In the end of this video, I provide a 4 step game plan for transitioning careers into software engineering and attaining that near mythical $100k a year salary.
Step 1 is maintain steady employment.
Step 2 is to visit the Github for Open Source Computer Science Degree.

Step 3 is to become obsessed with learning Computer Science and programming such that you can’t wait to get home from work in order to study all night long.
Step 4 is to attend a bootcamp
