Revature is not bad as people claim. Knew a girl who did the program. Worked for a year for $20 /hr. Now makes over $150k at 25. MCOL area. She bought a new car and is about to close on a house. A lot of big tech hire from those types of programs. Especially if they serve underp

Yeah I think if you go into it knowingly, expecting two years of your life focused on it, and then go for that great job afterwards, it's not a bad path. I'm concerned about people that have no idea what Revature is apply to their job postings, only to realize they will be locked in for two years.
I'm also concerned for people that take the jobs and don't actually do any useful work or are like "on the bench" for the whole time. But that can work out if you spend that time studying and learning on your own for that next job.
