One of many lies of bootcamps is the boosting of stats by counting hires of grads as instructors. And theoretically talented grads would make great teaching assistants, but those are exactly the people who get much better jobs so they end up with students who struggled through the program "teaching" the next couple cohorts. And they are happy to have some employment their resume, meanwhile it's becoming common knowledge that that itself is a red flag for an employer.

You nailed it.

It's the complete opposite of someone who was a TA during undergrads.
