And it doesn’t seem like the job pool is drying up either. From what I can’t tell there are just as many job opportunities as when I started, and plenty of companies still complaining about not being able to find qualified candidates.

PS: there was a reply I read and was quickly deleted, but made a good point. These sensational companies like Lambda tend to dominate headlines now, but I’m sure there are plenty of smaller more local bootcamps fighting ‘the good fight’ in their areas. If whoever said that deleted comment wants to email me, I’d be interested in learning more about the program you mentioned.

It’s unfortunate these bad headlines taint the overall picture of bootcamps, because I’m sure there are plenty of smaller players around that are doing just as good of a job as The Iron Yard like I described.

And to be fair, there is a perfect example in my area, of a small bootcamp that popped up after TIY went out of business, and they are doing a great job of supplying the same mission and service to our local area.
