Ask their Outcomes team for a copy of the report. Some questions to ask: * Was it audited? * Was the auditing done according to criteria determined by a 3rd party (like CIRR) or by the school themselves? * What is the graduation rate? How are dropouts accounted for in the suc

I'm pretty sure this is Codesmith and a posted a very long summary below. They do have an audited median salary in NYC from 2 years ago of 120K, but they also muddle that up with "mid level" titles. No one can go from zero experience to mid level FAANG. I worked at Facebook for 8 years and it's impossible there. So they are combining people who get $150K CONTRACTOR jobs at Facebook (not SWE, and not "mid level") with people who go to startups and get mid level titles but are compensated less... but 1 + 1 does not equal 2 here. The mid level titles at smaller companies is a result of a bit of a sketchy behavior and you can read about that in a long post I did here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/un1cyf/is\_there\_a\_good\_bootcamp\_besides\_codesmith/i85flg0/](https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/un1cyf/is_there_a_good_bootcamp_besides_codesmith/i85flg0/)
