Why is codesmith starting salary so high and how long to prepare?

🦇 I actually get notified for every single new post in here ;) not JUST Codesmith ones I have a really good understanding of Codesmith and it's a well rounded one. I have had several former employees, fellows, and students tell me how spot on my analysis is. It's a bit unfair because I don't have this depth of knowledge of other programs. I know a significant amount about Lambda School/Bloomtech, and I know Rithm pretty well, then Hack Reactor okay, Launch School okay. I have Youtube videos running the background of talks from all kind of programs, bootcamps, schools, mock interviews, etc... and naturally pattern match! I also have like 8 years of quite in depth FAANG experience + 4 years running a program, and I have pretty good insight to read between the lines and connect those dots! I also have good computer skills and you'd be surprised what programs have publicly that they might not know they posted publicly from over the years that also helps paint a picture.
