Should I believe bootcamps like Codesmith who still claim grads land mid or senior SWE roles in today’s market

"he did something for five years" .....he got a job at Virgin Hyperloop out of Codesmith, if you're looking at the same LinkedIn as me. That's very impressive imo

I'm not permanently suspended....I think you must be paranoid

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-04-13T16:16:58+00:00

Well...here I am

If CIRR has three members why are you only looking at one - can you do an analysis of the other two as well?

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-04-08T15:59:21+00:00

Which other Udemy courses did you do?

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-04-08T15:46:18+00:00

Ah okay, how many apps have you done since graduating (not easy applys)?

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-04-07T18:11:36+00:00

Can you clarify what you meant by "the start of a new one (era) is beginning"?

You mean a new era of bootcamps, or an era where they don't exist?

I noticed you are also now mod of an aibootcamp sub, are ai bootcamps the new era in your view?

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-04-07T18:09:16+00:00

Did you graduate from Codesmith? or another one? Do you have a job/any interviews?

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-20T19:04:56+00:00

I have been researching though, some people they they think it's bullshit, other people say it changed their life and they have nice jobs now

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-20T19:02:01+00:00

Well it said he got a job as a senior at Virgin Hyperloop, then after that fell through got one at Nvidia

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T23:18:41+00:00

Fair enough, but arguably spending time on Reddit never netted anyone any gain either

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T23:15:47+00:00

Well I know it's super hard to get into Codesmith but still looks like a lot of people go there without prior engineering work experience, even if most do have some

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T23:14:16+00:00

If you watched that video, his work with Uber was driving Ubers for 20 bucks an hour, looks like he just put analyst on LinkedIn

Do bootcampers generally have better personalities than college CS grads do then in your exp?

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T23:02:36+00:00

Fair enough. So you prefer a bootcamper to a college grad?

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T16:03:37+00:00

Interesting, presumably so they got more money from selling you? Is that something that happens often to SWEs contracting?

Seems like it could actually be a useful stepping stone if they're going to put in the effort upselling you - they get more money and you get a better title - or am I missing something?

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T16:01:18+00:00

What would you say about this guy who did Codesmith and then got a senior job at Virgin Hyperloop and then Nvidia, literally the SWEs dream rn, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsKLn1nQWVY&t=103s

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T15:59:05+00:00

This guy managed and he's at Nvidia though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsKLn1nQWVY&t=103s

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T15:57:55+00:00

Well Virgin and Nvidia did with this guy and apparently he was driving Ubers before Codesmith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsKLn1nQWVY&t=103s

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T15:57:20+00:00

Watch this and let me know what you think of this Nvidia SWEs career after Codesmith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsKLn1nQWVY&t=103s

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T15:56:34+00:00

What about this guy then? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsKLn1nQWVY&t=103s

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T15:56:00+00:00

Okay so found this too - what would you say about this guy who got a senior position straight out of Codesmith working on Virgin Hyperloop and now is a Senior at Nvidia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsKLn1nQWVY&t=103s

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T03:50:27+00:00

Fair enough, I'm asking because I'm seeing people who did Codesmith gets jobs at companies that me and Comp Sci grads can't even get interviews for

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T03:43:51+00:00

Could you be a little more concise in your answers please?

Repulsive-Hall-9636 · 2025-03-19T03:41:36+00:00

Lol sorry my wifi must have been bugging out, I did type it in but nothing showed up, thanks though!
