This data is fabricated. I attended codesmith in 2022. There are TONS of graduates without jobs or that have gone back to their old fields. I would say 20% of codesmith grads end up getting swe position, and even that is high. This whole post is written with handpicked data. Fu

I have an email thread with all of their leaders, asked them twice about why the ghosting rate (number of included placements who did not report salaries) went from 15% in 2022 to 65% for 2023 data in their government report and while they responded to numerous other questions they completely ignored this question with no response.
I wouldn't say the entire data is a lie but I would agree with you it's 'fabricated' in the sense that it's manipulated, massaged data, that was selected to tell a story, rather than just tell you how things are.
