What is the minimum benchmark to get into Formation?

Hi, most importantly we want to accept people into the Fellowship who we are confident we will help find jobs, and that can vary. But if we accept you, we are confident our mentorship approach will work, because if it doesn't and we support you for a really long time to find a job, our business doesn't work and we'll lose money and can't operate. Second, our job is to prepare you for interviews, we are not a school or bootcamp that teaches curriculum and instead we are giving you a unique experience aiming to get you in shape for interviews - like a personal trainer for your job hunt. The benchmark is one piece of the application and there is a minimum score - but for people around that score we will look deeper into the pieces of the benchmark. You background and experience is also important. Currently we require 1+ years of SWE work experience and most people have more than that and are currently working. So in summary, we don't "teach" anything so you do have to know a good amount of data structures and algorithms and our job is to continuously identify where you are weaker, provide practice resources to work on, and then signing off that you are good enough in something to move on to something. Personal trainer analogy again - we're not teaching you how to workout, we're giving you guidance and feedback on where you are at, plans on what to work on, and then continuous personalized iteration, but you are doing all the reps.
