Yes. I am the co-founder of Lambda School -
(YC S17 - a CS education where the school doesn’t get paid unless you get a good job). Right now we see about 3 students/day get hired.
You’ll likely hear a lot of people talking about how the market for juniors is flooded. That is partially true, but it’s flooded with people who cannot code. If you can actually be a productive employee I literally know 100 companies that will hire you today. As a self-taught engineer you have to convince them of that, which mostly means a solid portfolio, but there is insane demand. And if you get even one year of experience you won’t believe how many opportunities open up.
There are individual companies whose annual growth in engineer hiring is greater than the total number of CS and bootcamp grads combined.
