I did a hackreactor comapny in maybe 2017 (they consolidated it).

1. Not really sure what i learned but did so many algorithms that I could get a job.

2. Got a job with a bum company for $97k

3. Went to a major public tech company and made avg comp of $315k (mainly thanks to their stock taking off).

4. I have spent a lot of free time doing algorithms, coding in different languages, building full stack apps/projects, taking classes and doing online courses.

I think "starting" your career on solid footing is subjective based on your mentality and WHICH bootcamp. I have not heard good things about General Assembly nor their outcomes.

Guess that sums up the hiring mess we are in perfectly…

This is impressive for a short term program.
