This seems to fit my experience interviewing/hiring candidates over the last few years.

There's a certain type of "Bootcamp grad" that seems to fit well with my teams. Those people who got a degree and then found that they hated the field they worked in (biology, law, English teachers) have just come in and killed it for us.

I can't say, exactly, how that compares to CS grads, but I do know that every fresh Grad we've hired had to be hired on as an intern first to get them up to speed, while bootcamp grads were able to be productive from day 1.

Just my 2 cents.
