Ask HN: Do employers outside of Silicon Valley hire coding bootcamp graduates?
I know that within the valley, the high technical labor demand and shortage of supply make all forms of technical talent attractive, even those without a formal comp sci education or extensive experience. Is this true of the rest of the US?

A great point of reference is the super transparent outcomes data on http://cirr.org.
The data reveals two takeaways: 1) Yes, employers outside of Silicon Valley absolutely hire bootcamp grads. 2) The difference in bootcamp placement rates and average starting salaries can be significant - this is because the programs are different and the level and competency of their grads are different.
Regardless of what city you living in, you want to do your research and select a bootcamp that's proven it can produce results.
