Is the market sparse right now or are people making 137k on average out of a bootcamp? They seem to both be concurrently true

I believe the median was 137k actually so it is skew free

1. Codesmith has a bimodal distribution, so there is a chunk of people making on the low side and a chunk of people making on the high side, and few people making in the middle. 2. But that $137K was Q2 2021 when a ton of people went to Capital One and Amazon, both companies with high base salaries (which is the only thing reported to CIRR) which bump that up significantly. It fell by $10K in Q1 2022 as those companies slowed down. 3. That is the median of PEOPLE PLACED WHO REPORTED SALARIES, not the median of all Codesmith grads, add in the 10 to 20% of people without jobs who have $0 salaries and that's not the median anymore.
