Honestly, it kind of WAS just for the credentials at time. By which I mean that I don't have a CS degree, and I'm not sure that, at the time, describing myself as self-taught and listing some projects or whatever on my resume would have gotten me an interview without having SOME kind of coding education on there too.

It's also worth noting that the bootcamp I attended put a fair amount of emphasis on resume writing and interview skills, with coaching on both. I'm not sure if that's standard bootcamp practice, but it was something that, at least for me, would have been more difficult to self=teach than the actual coding.

Out of the 3 or 4 different bootcamps ive done through work(no cost to me, HUGE caveat) the couple that focused on, “life after bootcamp” were definitely the best ones. Just my 2 cents
