"🚫 OSPs (Open source projects) were **not include**d in employed-in-field stats, even if some of our grads had them featured as experience on their LinkedIn profiles. "
u/annie-ama \- doesn't that mean you reviewed all of the grads regularly who both placed and didn't place as well to see if they were placed and should be aware of this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/18cpq98/analysis\_of\_52\_most\_recent\_codesmith\_offers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/18cpq98/analysis_of_52_most_recent_codesmith_offers/)
I did the exact same analysis early to mid 2023 graduates in that report and that's what I observed.
I know you all are still working on this problem so I'm not going to be too hard on it but I've been hard on it for years now because my point the whole time was you can't have it both ways - i.e. you can't claim to not know about this problem while also stating that you regularly review grad's LinkedIns and see how they represent themselves.
i.e. Like you can claim not to know about this and then not include the 25%+ of placements verified using LinkedIn.
Or you can claim you had 50% placement by verifying LinkedIns but you are aware of how people represent themselves.
