We're waiting on CIRR results but Codesmith has provided some info in a report last week and in info sessions.
The placement rate was down from about 80% to "in the 60%s", and the salaries were down about 10% or so to the "$120Ks"
I've also heard anecdotally that they are trying harder to to track down alumni and get every last person into those CIRR reports.
But 60% ish still isn't that bad. It's significant if you are planning your life around a bootcamp right now - might not be the best idea to make any assumptions on outcomes - but it's not like it's ZERO placement either.

Do you have any thoughts/info on recent placement trends for HR 12 week or Rithm?

Zero information from staff, grads or alumni directly unfortunately. I just see what you all see.
I actually am not an outcomes person and think they matter that much honestly, but the more a program markets them the more they need to be discussed. Both Rithm and Hack Reactor just don't talk about outcomes that much.

What percentage of college graduates end up in the job they were hoping for? 60% sounds pretty good! (maybe not what they promised) - but for general life / and a fairly small amount of time and effort.

Yeah I didn't comment on CS degrees because again, not a huge fan of judging any of these things based on outcomes. Education is supposed to be a lifelong investment, so a bootcamp and CS degree have completely different goals

The bootcamp I was planning to start in November have had a hard time placing graduates into companies too. Some of their bootcamp grads that were hired also got laid off recently. I am glad I asked them detailed questions because I would have had to quit my job before starting t

Do you mind sharing which program this was, not because of the tough placements but because it's actually great they were honest and transparent with you to help you make the right call for you!
