Please note, these are personal opinions, I'm not recommending or not recommending any specific program in these comments and just looking at numbers. (This is a bit messy, just dumped some scratch notes) \[IN PROGRAM EDITING, moe coming\] ​ SOME NOTES: "Intermediate Full-time Coding Bootcamp", Page 8 I'm considering this only because it's the bread and butter program in my opinion. It's competitive to the other top programs. Enrolled Students 363 143 (124 + 19) had full time jobs in field afterwards (full time + apprenticeship/internship) **Which is a 40% placement rate of full time job in field of all people who started.** Now the market is bad, and Hack Reactor 12 week full time immersive didn't change much (the 19 week did in 2023). [So compare to H1 2022](https://www.galvanize.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/20221-GRAD-Report-Final.pdf) \- 236 + 23 + 93 + 132 = 484 grads (across the 4 time options) 227 had full time jobs in field afterwards (full time + apprenticeship/internship) **Which is a 47% placement rate of full time job in field of all people who started.** # 1. So we that's about a 15% drop in placement full time in field within 6 months, which is anecdotally consistent with other programs.

So basically just shows that they over 80% of students still looking. Wonder what the number is. Also what's the number of the passive track?

The "passive track" is people who graduated and hung around but didn't apply to an average of 10 jobs a week. The detailed stats don't bread down across those lines but their top level "success rate" does. Also it doesn't look like 80% are still looking. It looks like up to 33% of people got are still looking or ghosting, but on the flip side, 40% of enrollees got full time jobs in field, so there are a chunk of people with out of field, temporary, or dropped out too.

“I’ll give you a secret. Auditor’s letters at the end of outcomes reports: they’re meaningless.”

Honestly the auditor letter is more detailed than other ones though. It says the same size they looked at and confirmed the calculations used.
