Wow have I got news for these students. 120k is basically mid-level unless you are all in a high cost of living area

Yeah exactly, students are pushed towards "mid level" roles at less strong companies that pay $120Kish. It's one of my criticisms of the career services product there, that most bootcamp grads are better off at top companies as entry level engineers and they discourage people from looking for those jobs.
The "Codesmith way" of doing things is particularly impactful at less good companies that don't realize the resumes are exaggerated or look into was OSLabs is, and I think that's a factor in why they encourage this. These strategies don't work at top companies and Codesmith grads just look like any other bootcamp grads to them.
