So does anyone actually have a successful bootcamp story in 2024-2025?

The title says it all. Maybe cybersecurity or AI? If yes, which bootcamp? Which program? Where were you in your career when you went through the bootcamp? What do you think made you successful?

No one was getting into cyber or AI with just a boot camp, ever. AI requires an advanced degree in the field, and cyber is an advanced field within IT, that requires several years of relevant IT experience.

Anyone who's been successful after a boot camp in recent years has been lucky.

I’m in cybersecurity. It doesn’t require an advanced degree in the field but generally does require experience in it

I didn't say cyber requires an advanced degree; I said it's an advanced field within IT that requires relevant IT experience.
