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 🥺

Ah, I graduated at the end of '22, so maybe they just use the form. Also, one thing CIRR doesn't clarify is what type of role it is. Sure someone got a contract role paying more than what I got, but the contract role comes with no health benefits, 401K, PTO, etc. Considering I

Yeah they are preparing to release 2022 outcomes any day now so that means they just use the data you self submitted in the form. The auditors don't check everything and they are just checking Codesmith's math and processes that they are following CIRR, they are not actually auditing that your salary is what you say it is. It's one of the misunderstandings of CIRR. CIRR allows self-reported salary data without specifying how it should be verified so the auditors make sure Codemsith is following CIRR and ultimately involves a heck of a lot of self reported data.
