Codesmith or DevMountain?

Hey u/aetrides Codesmith full bootcamp program is 12 weeks and is upfront $19,950 paid over 8 months or so. But they have various loans and scholarships to look into to spread it out further. Formation doesn't have a bootcamp program, it's kind of like a personal trainer program. So we work with people however long it takes to get a job, typically 4 to 6 months. Our price varies from 9% to 15% of your new base salary (deferred until after you start your new job) depending on how much work you need and experience you have. Our median BASE salary for the past 12 months (since May 1, 2021) is $138K, so about $12,420 to $20,700? So the programs are entirely different and we actually work with people who both come DIRECTLY FROM Codesmith to us and people who get jobs after Codesmith (amongst many other bootcamps) and then come to us. People starting at zero fall in the bucket that have done both. People starting at not zero is where I would look more carefully into what the best path is for you. If you have experience or a CS degree already, hands down Formation. If you have been self taught for a while, depends on your skills and goals which is the best fit for you. And if you are starting from almost zero, Codesmith first.
