Interesting, yeah I would like to see more data on placement times. Codesmith has provided a whole blog post on salaries in 2023, and published a bunch of aggregated data in info sessions, like schools people went to and industries people got jobs in. So it should be trivial to publish the length of time it took people in those placements, since they do that for CIRR already. Maybe prospective students should push them on that. Slower placement times don't mean anything bad about Codesmith, but it's critical to know about if you are planning your life and savings.
