Sure, but in the sentence right before that it talks about the companies hiring the graduates that are based in SF and NYC and these camps are put on in those cities so I'm assuming you don't go to these boot camps and then take a job in Kansas.

For what it's worth, when I started working in NYC in 2011 in a prominent company, I started at 65K, having graduated from a traditional college with a Computer Engineering degree.

Not saying it was a good salary, but not all college graduates start at the ludicrously high salary people keep seeing posted online.

2nd this. Grad degrees provide a substantial boost, but not everyone can afford the debt and opportunity costs associated with a masters. Sadly, most of those that can, are in a better financial situation (family) to begin with.
