Bootcamp devs were always going to be doomed in the job market. They were a symptom of not having enough true classically trained computer science degree holding engineers to hire, so you compromised by looking for anyone that knew how to code well enough. But this problem eventually corrects.

Now, there are way too many computer science grads in a time when code is easy and cheap. Not much to gain from hiring a bootcamp dev over the real deal.

But I would say if you truly enjoy coding and you didn’t get to study CS in a university, a bootcamp is probably a fun experience to go through just for your own enjoyment, not for job seeking purposes. Just don’t pay too much.
