I didn't go to a bootcamp but I experienced the same. The cards are very much stacked against junior devs. I've consistently gotten the, "we went with a more experienced candidate" response. It sucks.
There needs to be more outreach to junior devs because it's an investment not only in the person, but in the company. The better you train a developer, the better asset they become to the company.

Some companies will say they went with the more experienced candidate because it's easier than "we don't like you; you won't fit in our team".
It's stacked against juniors because there are more applying for each job and juniors cost more to the company than someone with experience.
