>70% within 12 months (anecdotal, unofficial) This is far better than what I have heard from other coding bootcamps like Coding Dojo, General Assembly, Hack Reactor, App Academy, etc.

I've heard anecotally 50% to 70%, and since we have no official numbers, it's hard to tell and just anecdotal.
I know you saw [my post](https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/18cpq98/analysis_of_52_most_recent_codesmith_offers/), and I think how those placement happens is also important.
Zooming out, I don't think 12 months is a reasonable timeframe to look at. If you go to a 12 week bootcamp for 700 hours and then spend 9 months part time 20-30 hours a week of DS&A and projects, you'll end up spending more time on materials completely unrelated to the bootcamp and the outcomes are less meaningful... but still important to know.
If you are going to pay a bootcamp 20K for 12 weeks - and maybe pay other people more after that - and to get a job in over a year, the comparisons to CS degrees, post-bacc, and community college become more relevant.
