Ask HN: Is a bootcamp worth it for a recent math grad?
A few hundred applications leading to 6 interviews is not &quot;reasonable success&quot; unless you were in a field where jobs are super-hard to get (say tenure track professor) or we were in a recession.<p>You need to debug your job hunt.  Conventional wisdom is that you need to think only about the stage you are getting stuck:  that is,  if you ratio of applications to interviews is bad (it is) you need to improve your resume, CV, cover letters, who you apply to,  etc.<p>The level of success you&#x27;re describing in the interview process is not abysmal but I can tell you are worried about it and would say you also need to work on &quot;presentation of self&quot;.<p>Most of the bootcamps out there are:  (i) applications programming in Javascript or (ii) data science with Python.  These don&#x27;t work miracles but they might fill in a gap if there really is a gap.<p>What kind of jobs are you looking for?
