Are bootcamps still having success getting people employed in tech?

Not exactly in tech, but some other industries might work pretty well.

I've recently stumbled upon a Supply Chain online course at MIT that takes 1.5 years with really decent content. This is obviously less than getting a traditional bachelor's degree.

Do you know what impact having an MIT MicroMasters certificate has, or if anyone cares about it? I'm not sure just citing its existence really answers the question here. It's nice that there are some pathways to converting it to credits in a full degree though.

As recently as 10 months ago, my brother did a boot camp with no prior experience and landed a job as a junior dev with a ~$100k package. His class had a placement rate of maybe 2 in 3.

Seems like the job market has only gotten worse since then however.

which bootcamp was this?

He ended up choosing Tech Elevator based on placement rate, online reviews, and location.

Thanks. There are so many out there that I have no idea of what to recommend to friends that ask.

I didn’t go through it myself, but for him placement rate was the #1 thing he made his decision on. TE was about 75% coding and 25% interview skills from what I was told. He liked it and was successful.

It really does sound like now is a historically bad time to try breaking into coding, sadly.

He managed to get placed tho. Now's a bad time, given the layoffs putting very senior folk on the market at competitive rates but unfortunately, I don't know of other careers paths with that same kind of opportunity that can also be done remotely. Healthcare is usually onsite. If there's something solid that's not coding that it's a good time to break into for, I'm all ears!
