wow, very cool discussion here in the comments, let me give you my perspective as a technical lead. Having worked with and interviewed many people including bootcamp graduates.
And it is always important to look at the people behind the curtin. I rather work with someone who put in effort instead of a know it all. Software Development is a team effort. When you fill up your team with seniors, who is doing the simple stuff? Implementing the next form or the next modal view is not intellectual challengeing. creating a table and the corresponding model in code is also kind of a standard task.
As was already pointed out, tech is a career of constant learning. and getting people who originally come from a different field and backgrounds can widen the view of everyone in the team.
I think nobody expect to go from bootcamp to tech lead overnight, but with a little luck, the student join a team, that is not only farming out his current angular or orm skills, but challenge him with new kinds of tasks, providing advice and direction, the student can have a good path ahead of them.
And this is the responsibility of today's leadership.
By the way, I can't tell, how the companies sell their courses, and potentially raising unrealistic expectations, but I genuinely think it is good to have the options available for adjusting once path. I also think today, there are so good books and materials online(free and paid), I would be happy to learn coding today. And as everyone learn different, going though a bootcamp can be worth it.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
