Rithm behind on outcomes? And alumni base? Sketchy….

Rithm is a very small program 18 people per cohort capped and they don't plan on growing the cohorts so they can have the most instructor time they can do. So the number of graduates isn't that important. So I personally don't care much about outcomes because: 1. Your personal outcome depends on so many factors not captured in a report that it could mislead your decision 2. Outcomes reports have games people play to present them the best they can within the rules (which is expected, but you have to read very critically) 3. The market has changed so much even from 2022 to 2023 that 2022 outcomes might not even mean much. All of that said I would push them for something so that you feel you can trust them, ultimately - outcomes or not - you need to trust them and if they can't create trust you should decline.

Anyone who doesn’t care about recent, relevant job outcomes data is either: 1) a bootcamp owner themselves who dont have good outcomes to stand by (so they avoid it altogether or replace it with vague nonsense about what % of their students turned on their computer that year)

I think understanding outcomes is absolutely critical! Outcomes "REPORTS" though are a different subject I have commented on below.
