The cost of Codesmith doesn't have anything to do with the success rate. It's not like you can spend 15K and have an ok outcome and $20K to get a slightly better one.
Codesmith's outcomes are because they have a very high bar, let in people likely to succeed and then nurture them. Getting in is the major factor, not paying more because it's more expensive than others.

Check this out. Tons of positive experiences for the bootcamp I teach at as well as others. Reviews help you decide what is and isn’t right for you.

Course Report is sponsored by a ton of bootcamps and creates content/videos/blog posts for sponsorship that is not disclosed. So it's not entirely unbiased.

20,000 is the most expensive boot camp I've seen, For an average dude I'd say that is a factor.

Oh yeah it's absolutely a factor in your decision making. To rephrase my point, you should not perceive the outcome you will get as proportional to the cost. i.e. I'll go for the $10K bootcamp to get a $70K job because I can't fork over $20K for a bootcamp to get a $120K job. Someone who goes to Codesmith and gets a $120K job will probably get a similar job from any legitimate bootcamp.

So what bootcamp would you recommend sir? I have gathered from this post and the comments, that codesmith, or tech elevator are great choices. Maybe you could give a brother some advice>?

It really depends on your goals and your personal situation. I would try to do free prep from all of the options, or your top 3 options, and see which one you like the most and feel is most effective and choose that.
i.e. Codesmith CSX, Rithm School, Launch School, App Academy Open, etc...
