Can we have a more in-depth discussion about this? There might be disappointment in not having a job yet, the market, the marketing promises, - but I think the most proactive and helpful thing for the community would be to break it down.  What jobs are people applying to? Only ‘

The solution is really hard because They have been advertising for 7 years that they create mid-level and senior engineers but they are like a grad school boot camp. It's extremely hard in this market to actually place people with no or little experience in mid-level and senior roles, enough people did during the boom times that it carried the reputation of the program. The ideal strategy right now is to place people in internships and apprenticeships and other entry level roles that are designed for people with no experience and will very quickly ramp them up into mid-level and Senior engineers. but if Codemsith doesn't drop that stance then there's not much they can do except what they've been doing.
