If this was a solid top bootcamp, do you feel this bootcamp is representing this story fairly only so that others know what they are getting into? Or what's the motivation for this post otherwise?
Only 2/21 of my cohort have found employment 8 months later

The motivation for my post is to share the reality of someone who went through the experience recently. I’m strongly against sugar coating things to anyone under any circumstances. When we have boot camps still telling people they are still securing 80% placement they deserve t

I 100000% agree and I'm speaking out about one program in particular, Codesmith, that I don't think is being transparent about the reality of the market and a number of staff/former staff/alumni have privately messaged me asking me too.
Is there a reason you don't want to say where you went though? Every bootcamp and program is different.

Cool story bro. You should write this fanfiction on your tumblr. So many crackpot conspiracy theories on here lol.

I don't agree with the representation of all of the things that person sid, but feel free to DM me because I see you posting frequently about Codesmith as well. I talk to a lot of people who work/worked at Codesmith... there is a heck of a lot of churn in admissions and instruction and people's titles and jobs change like every week... there are dozens of people that Codesmith long forgot about that know a heck of a lot and share a heck of a lot.
I'll I'm going to say is people trust me because they see how I protect them in my frequent/daily posting and don't reveal what they tell me while still presenting the views they want shared but feel unable to for all kinds of reasons, but the stuff people share is well beyond anything I post.
