Big thread in CSC sub with range of opinions on framing your bootcamp as "experience" on resumes. CSC is a lot angrier than this sub in tone, but I think it's good to read all sides of this. (Link in body)

Every Codesmith alumni I've worked with at Formation (15+) has been a really fantastic person. Hard working, professional, well rounded, collaborative. I've spoken to a lot of people and only a handful of loud people on here believe the mid-level senior level thing. They all understand that there is a difference between like mid-level Google vs mid-level Capital One (I think a senior at Capital One is an entry level at Google, and a "Master Engineer" is senior at Google). They are running through a playbook of "how you create an OSP project", which templates you use for Medium, website, slack posts... everyone knows the "Sponsored talks from Single Sprout" are kind of a joke, but they do what they are supposed to do because they see it work for previous alumni. Some of the loud people on here are actually just trolls or employees, there are also a small number of people with multiple accounts... super different tone and messaging than all the Codesmith people I've worked with. There are also a bunch of super reasonable Codesmith alumni on here that sometimes I agree with and sometimes disagree with and we get along just fine and have good conversations.... anyways, it's why I'm transparent and only post from this account.
