Would you hire somebody who's gone through a 10 week MEAN bootcamp as a junior developer, assuming they also had a running site they'd built, with source on GitHub?
I view it just like many other educational certificates. It is a positive that you have earned it. What's most important is what have you done with it and what can you do with it.<p>Bootcamps don't change people, they just provide tools for their students to continue learning.
Maybe some detail would help. I have interviewed and hired people, been a dev team lead and manager. I would consider a such a candidate enough to at least get them on the phone and see where it goes. Just wondering if I'm alone here (especially because I have a personal bias in this case).
It depends on the camp and who the somebody is. All boot camps are not created equal. I went to a boot camp that was not in the top tier and while I dont necessarily regret going lets just say it was not the reason I was able to get hired.
