Startups Court Dev Bootcamp?s Ruby Grads: 88% Have Offers At Average Of $79K

This year, Shereef Bishay came up with an ambitious engineering and educational challenge: Try to take 20 aspiring developers, at various levels of ability, teach them Ruby on Rails, and have them job-ready in 10 weeks. The result: Dev Bootcamp, a 10-week engineering gauntlet specifically that subjects those willing to some 400+ hours of intense technical training. The cost, with a $1K discount for signing up early, is $11,200, which can be paid in lump sum or in monthly payments over two years. While that may sound like a lot, compared to the cost of a 4-year education, it's minimal. Of course, it's all about the return on investment. And judging by the numbers Dev Bootcamp has shared, the future looks bright. Altogether, 88 percent of its students have received job offers, with the average salary being offered at $79,000. As to who's doing the courting? ThoughtWorks, Ooyala, DailyKos, Inigral, MochaLeaf, Zendesk, Milyoni, and GeneralThings, to name a few. Not bad for 10 weeks.
