I just can't with Codesmith grads because those people know it's wrong to lie on their resumes but it's getting them jobs either way, so I guess it works??

I'm way more middle road than I come across here. People can do whatever they want, and some people are in circumstances where they stretch the truth for personal reasons consciously.
But people who come here are are like "$150K, Codesmith, mic drop" is just very car-saleperson-y that makes people want to go there for the wrong reasons.
If you are super ambitious - as many Codesmith students are there might be a number of pathways that could work better than Codesmith and judging the $$$ alone isn't ideal and in their outcomes advisor throws around big offer numbers like candy - "I was talking on the phone to someone this morning and she had a 150 and we got a 10 signing bonus" - not the lack of use of the "K" or "thousands"
