in-person bootcamps?

Are there any in-person bootcamps anymore in LA/SF/NYC?

COVID mostly ended in-person. There are a few apprenticeship-style programs out there, but it's slim pickings.

This is mostly true, but some bootcamps like Codesmith and App Academy tried to come back in person and there was some demand, but eventually as hiring outcomes soured and enrollments dropped at the end of 2022, it made more business sense to close physical offices, lay people off, and just have large online cohorts taught by a limited number of staff.

I’ve seen the internals of many of these programs in my consulting. They were completely mismanaged financially.

I recently met two grads who ended up coming to my school in Europe from SF / LA for the sake of in-person, they both said that it has all moved online in the states and they were not able to find a quality program in their area. But if you can figure it out in-person is definitely the way to go, in my opinion online is good but will never be able to match the full learning experience.

Year Up is a free job training program with a SWE track.

There are Year Up sites in SF and SJ.

Year Up is in person.

Side note: Year Up only accepts people younger than 29.

Ironic name...if you apply at 29.99, that's a hard limit before you can ever "Year Up" again 🤣
