How risky is a bootcamp-only profile after 2 years of experience?
Hey guys, I’m looking for honest opinions about my situation.
3 years ago, I did a 10-month web dev bootcamp. Out of 25 people, only 3 of us ended up finding a job.
I got an internship after the bootcamp, which turned into a 3-month internship, then a fixed-term contract and finally permanent contract. I’ve now been at the same company for almost 2 years.
My stack is mostly full stack JS:
React, React Native, Node.js.
To be completely honest, I initially oversold my skills to get my first opportunity. But once I got in, I worked hard during the internship to close the gap between what I claimed and my actual level. And it worked.
Now I’m wondering where I realistically stand in the European market.
I don’t have a formal CS degree. My fear is:
Did I genuinely break into the industry, or did I just get lucky once and slip through the cracks ?
