How would you rate Codesmith in terms of career outcomes?

\[EDIT: commenter explained the original comment was not about bootcamp grads but master's grads, and I re-worded/removed things that are also now out of context, and sorry for misunderstanding the context!\] Most people from bootcamps aren't making $200K in their first year. I've seen a Harvard Math grad have a path like this for example, or a UT Austin Civil Eng grad, but these people have some kind of natural abilities and work ethic that made it happen. A very small number of people will, and those people will probably be making $1M a year in 5 to 10 years, like maybe yourself /u/Evening_Message5556 (which I would say based on my interactions with you :) ) That said at Bloomberg and Amazon, you can make $200K TC (e.g. $160K base + $40K+ bonus) by crushing mostly DS&A interviews and passing behavioral interviews. One of the key pieces is the behavioral interview and you coming across "generally super competent" to a hiring manager. I agree that grinding DS&A and practicing super intensely can get you past the first part, but it's the "generally super competent" part that you can't grind your way through and you have to have some kind of natural click there. As people progress in their careers, this will be the dealbreaker for senior -> staff and larger advancement.
