I’m not convinced. That’s why I’m asking; because I literally cannot find a single person saying that they got a job, and every review I’ve seen has been a paid and sponsored review. Which should tell me a lot, but I’m desperate for a career change and want to have hope lol.

This has been my concern for a while, so many people post here (I'm a mod so I see a lot more get removed by Reddit and just blatantly share referral opportunities) and all of them are 1-2 sprints in and say how amazing it has been so far. But they disappear and never come back :(
I don't judge or care as nothing is perfect and I'm just more curious why this happens with TripleTen and not others.
From the one or two people I've talked to later on, it sounds like shortly after you are no longer eligible for a pro-rated refund, the materials get a lot harder and a lot of people get stuck in limbo forever. They don't drop out, but they don't graduate.
This is TOTALLY EXPECTED for a self paced remote program.
Another self paced remote program had a mandatory report showing something like a 15% completion rate on time and a 30% within 150% of the estimate program time.
TripleTen could have 2X those numbers and it would be doing extremely well relatively, but still with the majority of people not finishing on time.
But then TripleTen claims to have a 87% placement rate within 6 months and other big numbers, and somethings not adding up.
Again, I'm not saying anything is wrong here, just that the marketing is pushing a little too hard and the gaps are unexplained.
With the market right now, people want trust and transparency so I think not explaining this hurts them more than it helps honestly.
