As someone that is planning to do CS Prep and eventually the immersive program, you’re worrying me. I’ve been drawn to CS because I have a couple friends that are alumni and it seems to be the only bootcamp that is offering what I’m looking for. What is your bootcamp recommendati

Codesmith can be a good choice. It's the #1 choice for super ambitious people who are already decent programmers. The alumni I know are amazing, hard working, and great people who want to have a big impact on the world. If you want to put your head down, do what you are told and exceed all of the requirements/expectations, it's the place to go and you'll be happy.
The only problem I have with Codesmith overall is misrepresenting mid-level and senior outcomes (and by relation, exaggerating the value of the OSP projects that they claim make you a mid-level engineer).
The reason I would consider not recommending them is if they pull some shenanigans with H2 2022 outcomes because the raw data I've been shown is not good and if they don't acknowledge this openly and transparently and continue to try to frame them as Codesmith's best in industry results and keep up the attitude, then I will consider changing that recommendation.
