Yeah I hear you. Just spent a couple of minutes looking at Formation grads LinkedIn resumes and most of the ones I found aren't working and have been at Formation for a long time, multiple years in some cases!

That's correct, people who list Formation on their Linkedin are:
1. generally people with less experience and the group of people struggling the most.
2. generally people not working right now
3. generally many of the people who haven't placed yet
They represent a minority of people we work/worked with and we're proud to keep supporting them as we promised.
The typical engineer (FAANG mid-level/senior)+ engineers don't list Formation on their LinkedIns and are way more low key because they don't want their current employers knowing they are job hunting. We have CURRENT Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft software engineers, for example, who aren't going to advertise they are doing Formation publicly.
After people place, some people opt into being on our network page: [https://formation.dev/network](https://formation.dev/network)
And some people want to do a write up, like these 5 people recently:

If you are looking at LinkedIn you aren't getting a full picture, unless you are someone with minimal experience
If you have experience and are considering Formation, feel free to DM me your background and I can try to share examples of people with a similar background we have worked with.
