Hi everyone,<p>I'm currently taking an online Ruby on Rails bootcamp with www.gotealeaf.com and I'm a bit over 50% over the bootcamp.<p>I'm at the point where I feel comfortable building a small rails app and slowly adding more around the bare bones of it to make it somewhat secure and scalable.<p>I chose tealeaf because they seemed to have the more in-depth curriculum of all but I'm still wondering whether this would actually get me a job somewhere?<p>At the moment I'm working on my own project (and coding it myself) and my goal with the bootcamp wasn't full-time employment, but it feels as though it's a promise that many of them make.<p>Also, after some searching, "junior" positions aren't very frequent, and since that's usually what they say you'll be qualified for, is there an over-supply of "bootcamp devs" for startup to choose from?<p>Thanks!<p>To give you an idea of what we build, this is my github so far: https://github.com/Tbeiko
"blackjack", "post-it" and "myflix" (in progress) are our assigned projects, in order of completion.
At my company in the Atlanta area, I am on a team of 20 people, 12 of which are developers. Since I started a little over a year ago, my team alone has hired 2 developers fresh out of a Rails bootcamp. The hiring managers are actively seeking "junior" devs (bootcamp or not) in order to invest in their skills and train them in our company culture.<p>For some background, the company is fairly large (15,000 or so total employees), but has a strong focus on technology and there are approximately 25 "capability teams" including mine that function largely independently and autonomously.
