Anyone a bootcamp grad? Need help picking one
Hi, I'm new here and trying to get a job in tech. I'm coming from logistics and warehousing so once I get the training, I can get a job as a jr dev or a analyst.
Wanted to know if anybody here has graduated from a bootcamp before and what your reviews are. I was looking at code dojo, ga, thinkful, and flatiron. Thanks for your ideas!

Bootcamps are great it you're ok drinking from a fire hose of information and giving up 100% of your day and evening free time during the camp. Most of them are very compressed so you go over an entire year of college level computer science in under a month. Additionally, there are a LOT of bootcamps being taught in areas where that work isn't possible. Meaning you'll most likely have to move if you want to be in an office or have a hybrid office experience. Now if you're totally OK being remote (which I think is tough for someone who is starting in a new field) then have at it.
In my opinion the better approach would be to use some of the free / paid online training from resources like the following.
