Online Coding Bootcamp Return on Investment (ROI)
Entry-level software engineers in the US earn an average salary of $91,524, while all jobs requiring coding skills earn about 22% more on average than those that do not (U.S. News & World Report).
In addition, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for jobs like web developer, software developer, and software engineer is expected to increase by 10%-28% over the next decade. That’s at least twice as much as the average 10-year growth for all occupations, which stands at 5%—making now an excellent time to launch a career in the field.
Companies headquartered in tech hubs like New York and California offer in-person and remote coding career opportunities with even higher average earnings—while software engineers remain in-demand at companies of all sizes nationwide.

Online Coding Bootcamp Myths vs Realities
Myth | Reality |
---|---|
You need a computer science degree to launch a career as a software engineer. | Some employers still require a 4-year degree (at least on paper), but many do not—and that number is expected to rise alongside increased access to specialized tech training programs. View our impressive bootcamp outcomes to learn more about employment rates for Fullstack Academy web development bootcamp graduates. |
Self-teaching is the only way to learn how to code. | Self-teaching is an integral part of the process, which is why it’s built into our active learning approach to beginner coding. However, bootcamp programs offer collaboration, technical and career support, and real-world engineering tools in addition to self-learning. Essentially, we teach students how to learn coding, so they can build upon that skill throughout their career. Explore the curriculum here. |
Online coding bootcamps only prepare you for a career in web development. |
While the majority of our students are aspiring software engineers, there are numerous applications for coding skills within the tech industry and beyond. According to the World News Report 2021, jobs requiring coding skills across industries offer 22% higher salaries on average than those that do not. Browse our coding careers blog post to get an idea of the different directions coding skills can take your career. |
Coding careers and coding skills are no longer in-demand in the job market. | According to multiple reputable sources including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for software engineers and other professional coding jobs is expected to increase by 10%-28% over the next decade. That’s at least twice as much as the average 10-year growth for all occupations, which stands at 5%. |
The tech industry is always changing, so tech jobs offer little job security. |
Big Tech layoffs come and go; they dominate headlines, but the demand for skilled talent persists regardless. Coding jobs are also not limited to the tech sector, because companies of all sizes and industries increasingly employ their own, in-house software engineers. Discover our student stories to learn more about where past graduates have been hired. |
Online coding bootcamps are too hard to complete on your own. | Certainly, Fullstack Academy live online coding bootcamps are hard, but you won’t be on your own. Logging on for every class and keeping up with the material requires individual self-discipline, dedication, and drive. Still, you’ll receive support throughout from a team made up of instructors, teaching assistants, career success coaches, and student advisors—all invested in your success.

Jose Balza
Coding Bootcamp Graduate
The curriculum is constantly updated and delivered by first-rate, passionate educators. The positivity and encouragement offered by the entire faculty was awesome, and in every step of the process, it was clear that my learning experience was the foremost of their concerns. The experience as a whole is one that has changed the course of my life, and I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone considering to apply to Fullstack Academy.
Mark Hario
Software Engineer at Floify
I was a little nervous about joining the first Remote Immersive cohort (it’s always scary being the first!), but having come out on the other side, I can most definitely say it is and will always be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I made lifelong friends and mentors, learned an incredible amount, and definitely grew as a developer, a teammate, and a person.
Beth Qiang
Software Engineer at Lob
One thing that surprised me about the remote program was how intimate it was… we had a lot of one-on-one time with our instructors. I was amazed at all the personal attention.
Rachel Bird
Software Engineer at Vouch
Fullstack Academy offered me a path to pivot and course correct the trajectory of my career. Within a few months, I was able to achieve sufficient velocity to break orbit… the Fullstack Remote Immersive program is the absolute best way to compress the time between deciding to move into web development and being job-ready.

No matter where you are in your coding journey, you can hone the skills, knowledge, and practical experience of a professional web developer with Fullstack Academy. As a trusted trailblazer in tech education, we’ve helped over 10,000+ students graduate job-ready with the skills, drive, and portfolio to build lasting, thriving careers in tech.

The future of web development has moved toward sophisticated, responsive, and dynamic single-page applications running in the browser. Apps like Gmail, Asana, Trello, Facebook, and Google Maps have redefined what users expect from web applications and what developers need to deliver.
After observing these trends, plus conducting lots of research and conversations with industry experts, we’ve come to the conclusion that full stack JavaScript is the future of web development. Consequently, it is what we primarily immerse our students in at Fullstack Academy.
What about Ruby on Rails, Python, or other engineering languages? Why are other schools teaching these-or a combination of these- instead?
Ruby on Rails has been instrumental in consolidating many best practices in back-end web development–making it easier for developers to build large sites in an organized way. Meanwhile, Python has completely revolutionized the way sites record and use data—and we do teach Python foundational skills in our Data Analytics bootcamps.
Primarily, though, research and use cases show that today’s web runs on highly interactive and responsive experiences that don’t require a page refresh at every step. As a result, single-page applications (SPAs) written in JavaScript using frameworks like React or Vue.js make JavaScript one of the best programming languages to learn.
JavaScript also offers professional advantages over other languages. Fullstack Academy graduates are well-rounded coders with both a thorough understanding of the full stack and programming concepts in general. We’ve learned through years of tech education that students may more easily understand and master other coding languages once they’ve learned full stack JavaScript. This gives our graduates a more in-demand skill set that separates them from the competition and widens the range of coding job types they’re qualified for.
