Huh. I'm surprised to hear this. I have a liberal arts degree, and I had zero issue getting a job after going through a bootcamp 6 years ago. My brother-in-law did the same 3 years ago. My husband last year. He literally doesn't even have a degree...

There are oceans of people with those same bootcamp credentials. For hiring managers willing to hire bootcampers, but you are just one drop in that ocean.

Over time you will have a harder time finding work, you'll get lower salary offers, and you'll be passed over promotion.

If that's the credential you have, it'll have to do. But if you're choosing whether to pursue a full-blown degree, the answer is clear. Yes, absolutely, yes.
