Spoke to a reputable bootcamp recently and found out their job rate is only 66%. Are bootcamps using last year job placement rates?

Watch out for reported placement rates, especially with CIRR. Placement rates are often quote "of the people who graduate..... which percent get hired in X timeframe". But how many people graduate and are job hunting is very important. BloomTech just reported a 90% placement rate for 2021, however about 30-something percent of people were excluded because they were not job hunting, and 50-something percent of people actually graduated... so it's something like 50-something percent of people who signed on the dotted line, were looking for a job, graduated and got a job within six months. With CIRR the placement rates are of people who graduated in the designated time window. So if 90% of people graduate and 80% get jobs, that's like a 70% sign on dotted line -> job within six months rate.
