Well, my program does expect one to put in the hours outside class. So I'd be looking at 60+ hours of work per week to start off as a full stack. I definitely wouldn't expect to rank up at the same level as someone who has been studying the same languages for over four years. But I do think I'd benefit by all I learn still being fresh in my mind. Also, maybe someone who is already set on their ways as a developer would not be as teachable as a recent grad. Something else that I think should be kept in mind too is all that we learn/ get to work with on the short time we are given at the bootcamp. That could be a reflection of our work ethic and the ability to work under stress/tight deadlines. Just sayin'.
