I would think that it would be pretty easy to figure out if someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Coding tests might eliminate some great people I perform very poorly with algorithm heavy questions as they usually require already knowing the answer. Yet I am designing a highly scalable orchestration solution right now. It can't just be a black and white interview like that. IronBornCorps posted... I find a lot of boot camps are inconstant, and it's really important to those interested in them to find a reputable one, that also doesn't have super predatory payment options. Despite what the sector says about needing degrees, it is significantly harder to find a job without one, and bootcamps give you certs, not degrees. You are screwed if the place you apply for hasn't heard of your camp. Boot camps only teach what is needed to get a job in the fields they try and prepare you for. Think of it like a technical school. They don't teach you a basis in Computer Science that would make you successful in every area of the industry. Think of them as pump and dumps. It's a lot harder to hire these types of people because they carry substantial risk, probably more risk than fresh grads with 0 experience.
