Tech elevator

I don't have a ton of insight on Tech Elevator so take this with a grain of salt, but a unique aspect to their programs is their industry partnerships in Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. The education and curriculum part of the Galvanize/Hack Reactor machinery now, but those partnerships can be a unique valuable proposition. That said, ask them for more details, because anecdotally I heard they went quiet during the post-COVID market collapse and picked up a bit recently, but I have no idea where they stand now. If only a couple of people are being placed through them and/or you don't live in one of those 4 cities, then I would consider a wider range of bootcamps (including TE) before making a choice.

Sorry again, but I would like to discuss these more because you are mischaracterizing my statements and I would like to get on the same page, as I support TE overall and recommend many people go there. I feel like I was clearly giving advice on what to ask Tech Elevator given the market and corporate changes, so I hope that was clear I was not making an authoritative statement and was stating my opinion on what to ask you. I am under the impression it is public knowledge that TE is part of Galvanize's "machinery". **I'm going off of the official press release here: https://www.galvanize.com/blog/galvanize-and-tech-elevator-announce-operational-consolidation/** "To capitalize on the significant opportunities ahead, we are bringing these companies together to form a single operating entity." That seems pretty clear to the typical personal reading that, that TE is part of Galvanize's machinery, but since you work there it would be helpful to state why you feel otherwise, since I'm not the only person who would read that and come to this conclusion. While I firmly believe in Tech Elevator's brand, I think following ownership structure is important and that people understand this. I see it as a benefit that a stable company runs TE, but I'm not judging the ownership structure in my comments and just pointing out what it is. **Can you propose a better phrasing that's less offensive to you? I would love to express that in a framing you feel is appropriate so we can move past that.** I think you might have misunderstood most of my comment, as I was referring solely to fluctuations in the partnerships and not fluctuations in TE as a whole or it's student numbers or it's staff numbers. **How would you describe the number of people hired through hiring partnerships in 2023 versus 2022?** I was stating that from what people told me, they attended hiring partner presentation/days in early 2023 and there were only a handful of companies there and few to none were hiring BUT recently those have picked up a bit and more people are getting hired again through them. I think that's a good trend to note right? Or do you have an authoritative statement on this that's more useful and detailed? Or disagree with this framing? Finally, I understand you are upset, but I don't appreciate being personally attacked and you don't know me or what I know. I would love for to productively contribute your own thoughts on these topics. People send me a lot of personal experiences and documentation that they entrust me with and attacking my credibility personally is not productive, I very clearly stated that I don't know as much about Tech Elevator as other programs.

Do you have more details on why you think it's going downhill/what you "heard"? Someone from TE personally attacked me above on my comment for the way I characterized the consolidation and it sounds like a sour subject. Would like to know more details if you have that because, that person is characterizing it as a 'difficult time for staff' but still independent curriculum and instruction.
