Just went on their website, still so much misleading marketing there. >March - August 2024 Outcomes >Our alumni from this period accepted a total of 168 offers with an average base salary of $117,000. If that's true I'll eat my keyboard

I commented on this website months ago but I believe it's true and the problem is it conflates 2022, 2023, 2024 outcomes and outcomes for people that might have been looking for well over a year. Second, the pacing with 168 offers in that period is much fewer offers per day than in their peak period, so even that number is not very good. Again, marketing to try to make things look better.
