What I learned from spending 3 months applying to jobs after a coding bootcamp
Holy shit.<p>Is this some kind of a joke?<p>&gt; Otherwise, companies automatically categorize us into junior developer roles or tag us as “not enough experience.”<p>??? What do you think you are after a TWELVE WEEK coding seminar (no matter how intense it was)? It looks frightening to me that he doesn&#x27;t even know what &quot;junior developer&quot; really means. How ignorant can someone be to NOT think to be a junior dev right after &quot;graduation&quot;. Like: I am taking a first aid course - but you have to call me doctor afterwards - otherwise I am pissed off!<p>&gt; A study by Triplebyte has found that bootcamp grads are weaker in these areas than computer science grads.<p>Really? No... This must be a lie!<p>No personal offence here, but honestly, I just can&#x27;t imagine how a serious company with a certain degree of professionalism is going to hire people like him for a serious software engineering job (or similiar).
But actually, if I think back, at my last job a couple of years ago we had a guy similar to him - it ended up giving him all the shitty work that wasn&#x27;t too complicated and hadn&#x27;t to much impact on the success of a project (some HTML &amp; CSS stuff for the frontend) but nobody wanted to do (because it sucked). It took him hours and days to finish stuff someone of the rest of the team would have done in maybe half an hour.<p>I am also wondering about the reactions in the comments - also here on HN - interesting to see what kind if audience is hanging around here.<p>Anyway. Coding camps seems to be a good way to make money - for the organizers.
