App Academy’s sketchy ISA advertisement

BloomTech (who didn't create ISAs but was the big pusher of them a couple of years ago) had a clause about the type of job. The problem was in the grey - the tech-adjacent jobs. A lot of BloomTech grads god adjacent jobs and they would say their job was not a "software engineer-related job" and not want to pay. I don't know how they solved it, but it's a mess. Sounds like it should be simpler, but it isn't. My advice would be if you got a non software job, voice your concerns and unique situation with a/A and see if they can offer a discount based on your experience. If a/A did everything they said they would do and that's how it happened, you might not get anywhere, but it's worth trying.
