We haven't, but I believe u/michaelnovati is about to release something similar for Codesmith. Anyone can do something similar for other bootcamps - and we'd actively encourage this.

Yeah I did analysis of how people present themselves on LinkedIn. Codesmith's placement numbers themselves in their CIRR are accurate. The numbers their senior advisor throws around are less so more like mischaracterizing. My data shows that the average recent Codesmith placement (reported job in past few months) claimed to have 11.7 months of experience on their LinkedIn from their 3 week group project. So while the outcomes themselves are good, people might be exaggerating or mischaracterizing their backgrounds to get there.
