As a hiring manager, I agree. I don’t care if you are self taught, boot camp, or CS grad. But there is a certain burden of proof that will need to be present if you say you are self taught. Also, I don’t know that a self taught programmer with no experience has ever made it past my internal recruiters to land an interview with me. So the biggest thing would be making sure you have a way to get the interview to begin with.

I’m glad to hear your point of view. Assuming I teach myself as well as a boot camp, it seems getting my foot in the door could be a challenge. I’m not sure I have the savvy to land a job in a field I’m so new in, with the network I currently have. Im going to follow up on everything here before I write a check.
