From Codesmith to FAANG

In all seriousness, the reason for Codesmith alumni's heavy, anonymous presence on Reddit is becasue people [exaggerate to get jobs](https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/18cpq98/analysis_of_52_most_recent_codesmith_offers/) and if they out themselves on LinkedIn or somewhere else or give more details about who they are, they risk getting "found out" by colleagues and losing those jobs. I talk to my friend at a recent hiring and asked them if they knew a specific Codesmith grad the company just hired a few weeks ago had no experience (obviously friendly and off the books) and they said no idea from the resume or interview. So it's totally in people's interest to not share their success in any way that might reveal who they are, if it's based on stretching the truth. At Formation, we had someone start at Meta this week and she happily participated in a blog post about her job and how she got it the day she started her job. I actually believe OP got some kind of very good job, possibly at canonical FAANG, or at least a good job, making a lot money, but we probably won't find out how. Which raises the question... why even post then?
