Codesmith is a top bootcamp yeah and produces arguably the best results of any bootcamp. But it really matters most if it's best for YOU and how it happens is more important than the raw results. It's more like they only let in people who are more likely to succeed and hence more people succeed than other program.... rather than anyone who gets in has a golden ticket to success. Reason why they are really good: 1. Very high entrance bar and only let people who meet the bar 2. Excellent alumni network who stay close to Codesmith 3. The founder cares a ton about teaching... I bet he would love to just teach all day and not deal with the business side haha. 4. They are extremely good at helping people leverage their ambitiousness to present themselves most strongly for jobs 1. This is often controversial because some people feel they support you in lying on your resumes to get past resume screens and get interviewed for roles typically for people with experience 2. They tend to push you for mid-level roles, even at worse companies, over getting roles that are more appropriate for your experience - and growth as an engineer. 5. Codesmith appeals to professionals who were successful in another industry, like doctors, mechanical engineers, accountants, lawyers, web developers, etc.... who tend to have a lot of savings and be quite ambitious people - with experience working. I find that people who come from less professional industries, like food or customer service and might not have any college degree, tend to have a little harder time getting those top jobs.
