Reply To: Do coding bootcamps really prepare people for real-world projects?

[Temma Turman]

A friend of mine recently finished a short coding bootcamp, and he was super excited because he learned the basics of web development in just a few months. But now that he’s trying to apply for junior roles, he feels a bit stuck because interviewers often ask about experience with real projects, teamwork, and problem-solving under pressure. It made me wonder, are these intensive bootcamps actually enough to land a job, or are they just a starting point where you need to keep learning and practicing on your own?
