Depends what your goal is. Name, Learning, Job?

The value add from the name of a respected bootcamp isn't as high as you think.

Getting a job will come from your effort and creativity in the search process post-bootcamp.

Which program you choose depends on your time, money, and energy constraints. The good news is that there are plenty of options out there.

I wrote a post [1] outlining the constraint tradeoffs based off my experience in a bootcamp and subsequent career movement through the data world.

Edit: Emphasis on the 'name' of the bootcamp (vs the other value adds you earn)
