dude...at 5 months, about 20 of my cohort of 23 found their first job in tech. Wtf are you talking about? It takes longer now because of the horrible job market. But pre-pandemic, finding a job within one month was very normal. Let's not normalize how bad things are by saying

The thing Codesmith leaders won't accept is that even if they have good intentions and even if they built a great community, they can't beat the market and the market says they shouldn't exist anymore.
Instead they have raised prices to $22,500.
I bet you went it was $18,000 and 80% got jobs making $125K in six months.
Now it's $22,500 and 40% of people in that time frame get jobs making $110K.
Finally, their CIRR numbers have always showed relatively low 90 day placement and very solid 180 day placement, so people weren't getting jobs in a month that often.
