So you are aware - the people in the post grad support (not the Slack channel necessarily) are all old CS students who are established in a current engineering role. They are not straight out of the bootcamp without any experience.

I edited to clarify that, I meant both employed SWEs and not yet employed SWEs, I know more than a handful of mock interviewers and coaches with no experienced at all except at Codesmith itself as a paid employee.
I also consider graduates who are employed as "peer support" imo. At Formation we have senior engineers at FAANG companies as normal Fellows looking to change jobs believe it or not who will be peer with each other, but also peers to bootcamp grad Fellows with no job yet. Those are just standard peer sessions and interactions. The actual mentors/mentorship is from very senior engineers (or from 5 to 10+ year FAANG recruiters) who are experts at 1-1 and small group mentoring and they are paid very well at their day jobs and we pay them well as well.
Again sorry for the tangent, I just talk about this a lot to people 1-1 and this is meant more for others who might read this.
