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)

I already offered to do a call with you, and suggested you do real research about Formation before defaming me and the company. Instead you are making up things you believe to be true with no evidence whatsoever and yelling more and more loudly about them to make them feel more and more true. Just like this subreddit is a bubble around bootcamps, thought bubbles exist and no one is immune, not me, not you. What evidence do you have the user was banned from Reddit? I have a spreadsheet and documentation of 200 alumns and it's pretty clear. Whether they are told to lie or not is seperate, but the raw data is clear. I suggest you do the same exercise before refuting this point. RE: FAANG I agree there is a problem with inclusivity and that's why Formation's mission is to fix that. FAANG prioritize consistency and calibration. So they are pattern matching you against others to make sure you are setup for success in your role by putting you at the same level with people similar to you. If it was a mistake, you will quickly be promoted! But just because you think you have experience you don't. I work with people that get like 10 offers and some are mid level and some are staff level AT FAANG... its the companies job to level you with whatever system they use to level people and we have to hope they can to that well. A college physics professor should probably be entry level at Facebook and Google as SWEs. As a physicist with a PhD for a physics role, likely mid level.
