Nothing in life is free. If you only pay if you get a SWE job just think about all of the other people who didn't get SWE jobs and didn't pay.
When the best bootcamps have tanking placement rates, who is paying for all of those non-placement's training?
Two answers:
1. No one - and the schools are shutting down left right and center, laying people off, and cutting back
2. The people who are placed are effectively paying for the people who aren't.
So if you are an amazing student and very likely to place you should NOT go somewhere with a job guarantee because you are likely paying for all the people who didn't get them in addition to yourself.
