Boot camp?

I'm familiar with Coachable but full disclosure, I co-founded a program for experienced engineers called Formation that partially competes with Coachable (we work mostly with experienced engineers and are not a good fit for most new grads). So there are no shortcuts or secret pathways to jobs right now. You are paying to have a coach work with you to improve you odds and to leverage their experience. 1. Coachable is run by someone who has a few years at Google and has a dozen coaches or so who went through Coachable and came back as coaches. Their approach is very aggressive: exaggerate your resume, aggressively message recruiters with messages they help write, and hope that something lands. Some people find this approach of exaggerating a little sketchy, some find it a means to an ends. Ultimately it's up to you but the key here is to ask for HOW it works instead of just looking at the headlines. 2. I'm very suspicious of their numbers. They say that 91% of people make $160K but they also say the average income is $140K. If you do the math, even if 9% of people make ZERO, the average is above $140K. In other places it looks more like 91% of people get placed AND INDEPENDENTLY the median income is $160Kish, which are very different statements than 91% of people make !$160K. 1. This page says the median is $145K [https://www.coachable.dev/faq](https://www.coachable.dev/faq) 2. This page says a median of $164K and a 90% placement rate [https://www.coachable.dev/program](https://www.coachable.dev/program) 3. "91% of our students land jobs paying $165,000" https://www.coachable.dev/pricing 3. They don't provide any time frames or details on how their numbers are calculated and that's a red flag, unless they can answer more details privately. I worked at Facebook from 2009 to 2017, it grew from 200 engineers to about 10,000 engineers. I interviewed hundreds of people. But my team now at Formation has numerous people with the same background. And we have over a hundred coaches with the same background. We have a dozen FAANG recruiters mentoring people. So I can confidently say there are no shortcuts or magical ways to get a job. It's skill, luck, persistence, location, goals, so whatever you do, if you want to pay a lot of money for extra coaching don't expect miracles - talk to them about the pros and cons and figure out the right thing for you.
