Codesmith posted an "Early Look" into 2023 outcomes w/ 2022 comparisons. My personal opinions and anlysis. Notable to me is both that median salary was $130K in 2022 and that it was $115K in 2023. Placement rates are missing, but I would guess much lower, for a double whammy 🥺

It's a classic sales funnel. It's a pre-arranged cold outreach sequence. It's like a sales funnel to sell yourself as a candidate and is leveraging the fact that cold outreach sales funnels have decent conversions. They don't call this a special method and it's not a secret what the steps are and how they work.
