Launch School Placement Date - Q4 2024 Cohort, ~70% placed within six months - similar to previous cohort. Lower salaries at $100K mediums - indicating role shifts. Very strong results given the market but very small program so hard to extrapolate.

Their standalone AI course is absolutely awful for $4600. It's 4 weeks, 5 lectures, and a couple of projects. Which is like $1000 a week for one class per week and there is no outcome or job or any goal other than to learn. The topics are already outdated, like a whole lecture on RAG. You are paying about $1000 to learn about RAG when you can spend $0 to learn from AI itself about RAG. The lectures were curriculum was written by someone who has never worked as a SWE or in AI (but they throw the names of others who worked on their failed Data Science program that has nothing to do with the new gen AI program in reality). The people teaching out have little (0 to 3 years) professional experience as SWEs so I don't see why they charge so much. It should be like a $500 course max.
