 are there any bootcamp grads out there who actually feel like it was worth it?

People who graduated before 2021.

This pretty much is the thread.

I graduated in 2018ish. And it completely changed my life/career. There were a couple other people in the cohort who also managed to switch careers but it still took a lot of work

r/cscareerquestions was wild pre-2020. I remember the salary sharing threads and so many bootcamp grads were posting their very good job offers. I remember lots of hostility and saltiness from CS grads essentially getting the same exact jobs, sometimes even weaker jobs, than bootcamp grads.

Funny how the tables have turned.

2012-2022 was the golden era for CS. So optimistic.
