$1K per week and def not reserved for the top students either. It definitely is intense though. Most people that join the fellowship program do it because they want to build that technical foundation within their resume. Think of someone that was previously a bartender or musi

Do people without experience not find the Codesmith residency enough on its own to build that base though or is this to try to move from the "under $110K" bucket to higher? Like the harsh way of looking at it is the Fellows are paying an extra 17K from what they thought they would to get the 120K job. The positive way is that people are investing addition resources that pay back in better jobs.
Thanks for clarifying top students. So the top students who have work experience don't become fellows. Then the next tier of top students might get jobs faster. THEN the ones who don't might be fellows?
The 20% over $140K base salaries generally have more experience, which is very opposite from the bottom 20% under $110K with no experience.
