Oof this is a tough spot because you also want to make sure the one you choose is also good for you!
So TripleTen (formerly Practicum) some things about their numbers because numerous people were surprised by this... they publicize that "87% of our grads get hired in 6 months or less". If you read their report, this is that 87% of GRADUATES WHO ARE HIRED are hired in 6 months or less, and 13% ARE HIRED IN MORE THAN SIX MOTHS. They don't include people refunded or people who drop out in this stat. I couldn't find the graduation rate anywhere or the number of people they refund every year, I would ask them for both these numbers in order to understand their outcomes better. Second, they are owned by the multinational search engine Yandex, and that also wasn't obvious to a lot of people. All of this is not a reason to not go, just things that seemed not obvious to others in prior discussions.
I don't have any information on Code the Dream, but it seems less structured and job focused than TripleTen.
