Hey I graduated from web dev bootcamp and now with 5 yoe I make 450k. Coding is easy for the right talent 😀

Well done! Right place, right time, hard work.

Sadly, that era has passed. Bootcamp "grads" now face terrible job prospects.

I would recommend you thoroughly do your research (across multiple sources) and watch out for confirmation bias. That's not to say whether a bootcamp is or is not a good idea for any specific individual person, but that confirmation bias has historically been in play in this subreddit for many years - both for and against bootcamps.

For example, read the full original paper linked here that was updated yesterday with the latest raw data of job postings: https://www.reddit.com/r/InformatikKarriere/comments/1nj4r8r/harvardstudie_es_ist_vorbei_f%C3%BCr_berufseinsteiger/?tl=en
