CIRR verified outcomes are for people who did the program 1.5 YEARS ago now. Many programs have changed, modified or merged cohorts, had layoffs, mergers, sales.
Tech Elevator was merged away under the hood since the student in it's latest public CIRR report even did it, so I would caution people from using those to justify going there.
I'm not implying bootcamps are all sinking, but it's like telling people to board the Titanic after it hit the iceberg because the latest official reports said that it's unsinkable.

Hi, sorry yeah, I hope I'm not misunderstood here. I comment general facts, experiences, observations, etc... with the goal of having productive discourse instead of anecdotal experiences expressed as universal facts. But 1-1 I switch hats and really try to figure out what's right for you.

Generally speaking, I hear a lot of hit and miss VETEC programs because these programs get a lot of money and have to check off certain boxes to maintain good standing, but they don't really have the same incentives to train you well or place you that they do when you are paying a lot out of pocket.
