Look, I'd take you more seriously if you practiced what you preached. We all have biases, but the key is not acting on them. Pushing one bootcamp relentlessly and flooding this subreddit with ads is the height of hypocrisy. Can you ever discuss anything without dragging in Codesm

Can you block the ads, we genuinely have a low ad budget on Reddit and I don't really want it all going towards you hahaha.
I pointed out some challenges in number 5 above. I think it would fair to publish more data with detailed explanations of what it means.
The motivation is actually the opposite. If we publish data that is misleading it's a much larger risk for us then not publishing data. We can spend 30 min calls one on one going through your personal situation and making sure you are clear on what we do to make up for it. But if we publish averages without a lot of explanation and caveat they might mislead people a lot.
The average comp is so high right now because of a bunch of people that got senior offers at Meta. And it would be absurdly misleading that anyone's starting now gets $300k to $500k offers. hence why we need to be really careful and explain things really carefully and right now we just take the time to do that. one-on-one.
