My first job in NYC was at a non-profit as a web dev with far more skills than what anyone could learn from a boot camp (I have a comp engr degree) and made substantially less than the posted average. I still a managed to live comfortably in Manhattan.

For people coming in who may be stuck in sub-$60K jobs, $10K to $15K in 10 weeks to be elevated to an a new income bracket doesn't seem unreasonable, when comparing it to the cost of going back to college.
