I went to a Bootcamp back in the era when they were relatively new, and I think the thing that they help with the most is teaching you what questions to ask so you can be an effective self-paced learner in the future. However, there are just too many boot camps now, producing too many grads for the market, and they’re of varying quality.
I’m going to disagree that you need a college degree for professional work. If you want to do well in the field, you’ll study and learn low level stuff and algorithms on your own time, after a class or Bootcamp has helped you get a feel for the unknown unknowns ahead of you.
Definitely agree though, that while I wholeheartedly recommended my Bootcamp (which is now dead) back in 2014, I don’t think I’d recommend a Bootcamp to a new learner now. The market for juniors is totally different, in large part because of those very bootcamps.
