if you somehow managed to get 160k out of the bootcamp I would guess bootcamp is only part of why you got such an offer. you are extreme outlier.

yes definitely. i applied to a place where my previous career (finance) could potentially help (ended up not being used at all lol).

BUT i did get a 120k-150k offers elsewhere (ranging from adtech to music), and had friends join FB/Google out of bootcamp and thats easily six figures

being in NYC helps. the low end was like 90k.
