Should I believe bootcamps like Codesmith who still claim grads land mid or senior SWE roles in today’s market

I’m a little skeptical of claims that people can finish bootcamps then land a $120k salary in a senior role. It sounds a bit ridiculous to me, as a CS grad with plenty of friends in the field who didn't able to land mid or senior roles after we graduated.

I see opinions are mixed on Reddit so… what's the deal with this? Do you guys know anyone who graduated there?

Are these programs actually that effective, or is there some serious number-fudging going on? Do hiring managers really take bootcamp grads and drop them straight into mid-level or even senior roles? Is it still happening today even during all of layoffs?

If this is all legit, I have so many questions. If it’s not, what’s the real story behind this?
