For anyone reading this who is skeptical because of the somewhat sketchier pro Codesmith posts recently, this person is a very long time reliable commenter who has been here for a long time. So about 70% placement in A YEAR is quite low compared to the past CIRR results almost concerninly low because they are advertising an 80% placement rate in 6 months post graduation and telling people that in info sessions. Just because CIRR hasn't published an H2 2022 report, they have a report prepared already and know the numbers and that's deceptive in my personal opinion to life in customers knowing the latest placements rates are.mjch lower. The CIRR executive director already said that Codesmith is free to self publish those if they want to. Everyone reading this - CIRR is expected to change the 6 month window to 12 months and I expect Codesmith to start quoting 12 months placement rates of 80% and say 'placements are still the same rate but just taking a lot longer'. Will cross this bridge when we get there, it's a legit statement to make but just in those extra SIX MONTHS more can happen that the school has nothing to do with... like how Lambda School talks about students who years later are making a ton of money (without acknowledging those people like have gone to other mentorship, programs or services later on for help to get there) Do you have a sense of how many were within 6 months of graduation, for the "CIRR comparable"? You said placements were trickling in so I'm ballparking a 50% placement rate at the 6 month mark?
