I doubt that. 130k is maybe a bit above the average (of OFFERS) for my cohort. But if they are giving the average of the last 30 offers received by any new Codesmith grad it would still make sense. Keep in mind that like every 6 weeks basically 100+ people graduate from Codesmi

I also monitor Codesmith offers and one interesting thing going on here, is there are a number of people being placed who have been job hunting for almost a year now.
They still list their OSP as X - present, so the longer it takes them to get a job, the more fake work experience it looks like they have. This is the dirty secret in many of the struggling-graduate Codesmith resumes I see (many people send me resumes for reviews outside of my day job).
As /u/SlowestTriathlete said, they are trying to motivate graduates by showing recovering results.
The market is indeed doing better, but it's not doing better for people without any experience.
Congrats on doing well btw! It gets lost in my post but one thing Codesmith does very well is choose amazing peope to let in who really give it their all.
