Anyone attend Codesmith to move into SWE when current job has a high salary?

I post criticizing using CIRR as the "gold standard" often :D. But you should trust their reported numbers as reliable. The issues lie more in 1. the way the data is presented and trying to understand the outcomes for someone like you versus someone with work experience already. 2. they borderline sketchy ways people can be excluded... however these are edge cases and not the bulk of the data. 3. data is too slow -> need more real time data on outcomes All of that said., the reports trail graduation by 6 months, so the next report will be for H1 2022, which was a GOOD HIRING HALF. H2 2022 -> present has been terrible. Amazon has stopped hiring and Capital One has slowed down hiring for and those accounted for a large chunk of the > $150K salaries you see on there. We won't know the implications of that until June 2023 at the earliest and you'll be done Codesmith by then! From people in the program now, the placement rates within 6 months have tanked anecdotally. But that's the market and it's not better elsewhere... unless you are experienced already and shouldn't go to a bootcamp and should go to a program like Formation (disclosure: co-founder), Outco, Interview Kickstart, Scalar, etc... You should highly consider Codesmith among the top handful of bootcamps in your selection process.
