Radio silence in my cohort slack. I suspect the only people with jobs are the ones who already had them.

There was a bit of an issue because their CA 2023 report originally had 20% placements for 2023 grads which they updated to 42% by adding in like 40 to 60 people who didn't report salaries and were verified by LinkedIn. I asked them about it and they didn't respond (while they responded to other questions, so it wasn't due to lack of receipt). Apparently a contractor/advisor did the report so I asked them if it's possible all of those LinkedIn verifications were ACTUALLY OSP PROJECTS PORTRAYED AS WORK and not actual jobs, and they didn't reply to that either. I started doing some analysis but I'm way too busy because I'm working on so many crazy AI features that are so exciting and cool I just doing have like an hour to do the actual number crunching, but I really want to know what's going on. It's impossible the leadership doesn't know about these problems no? Like how could they mislead so many people that things are fine when they clearly are not.
