Technically you are correct, I should have said there is no outcome data for grads since June 2022 if we want to be pedantic. https://cirr.org/data

\+1 this, I don't agree with the decision to withhold 2023 results until 2024 so that 12 month placement rates can be reported. From my conversations with people, numerous +1s to publish the H2 2022 data as is, and then republish 2022 data with 12 month placement rates. Even people who graduated in H1 2023's data isn't relevant right now as the market changes week to week, and H2 2022 is even irrelevant at this point. At the end of the day, it's no secret bootcamps are cutting back: Hack Reactor just chopped of the part time program, Codesmith laid off almost 20% of staff and a few people have left since then from what I've seen - and remaining staff are feeling pressure to pick up the slack (on the admissions, instruction, and placements side of things). So trying to massage the data to present a better picture will never connect with an educated audience that knows the market is bad and wants to be on the same page with their bootcamp instead of in different universes.
