Graduates of coding bootcamps go on to assume positions as Software Engineers, Web Developers, UX Designers, Analysts, and Developers (front-end, back-end or full-stack). CIRR-participating bootcamps report on the most frequent job titles their graduates assume every six months.

These starting titles often serve as a stepping stone into more senior positions, so it’s a good idea to take a look at these numbers for the bootcamps you may be considering. You’ll want to make sure the placement numbers align with your long-term career vision. For example, CodeSmith NYC’s breakdown: 73.1% Software Engineers, 7.7% Front-End Engineer, 3.8% Software Developer, 3.8% UX/UI Designer, 3.8% Full-Stack Engineer.

Meanwhile, Tech Elevator’s Cincinnati branch (a full-stack web development academy) placed most (65.2%) of its graduates in Software Developer positions; other positions included Q/A Tester (17.4%), Web Developer (13.0%) and Computer Programmer (4.3%).

If you’re curious about how these job titles are performing within the national economy, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), you can plug in any of the job titles as a search term in the Occupational Outlook Handbook. If you’re interested in job stability and growth, you can consult the “Job Outlook” statistic, which is a projected percent change in employment over the course of the next decade (2016-2026).

According to the BLS, the average growth rate for all occupations is 7 percent; but Software Developers positions are projected to grow at 24% over the next ten years and Web Developers are projected to grow at a 15% rate over the next ten years. Demand for these titles won’t be slowing down anytime soon, meaning that your education in this field will be valuable for the foreseeable future.

Caveat: some of these job titles are not defined in the same way across all companies and bootcamps. The BLS includes a description of the job title, so make sure that it matches your own personal definition and the definition provided by your bootcamp.

Finally, it is important to consider outcomes data on the actual versus the advertised program length to graduate. The actual reported range is large, so it’s best to consult individual CIRR reports for each academy. For example, Hacktiv8 Jakarta reported that 23.6% of their students graduated within the advertised program length. In contrast, most of the Hack Reactor branches boasted on-time graduation rates for 90% or more of their students. In some cases, this statistic is actually irrelevant because the programs are self-paced. You’ll have to decide how much this matters for you.
