A lot of the posts here are from people who are like just finishing their early sprints and oftentimes they're offering discount codes and stuff.
I think you're one of the first people to actually talk about the program after finishing it, so I'm curious if you can comment a bit on how many people made it all the way through and for people who did drop off.
Remote self-paced programs tend to have much lower completion rates as life circumstances come in the way much more than when you carve out 12 weeks of your life to dedicate to a full-time immersive boot camp.
So I'm absolutely not expecting every single person to finish. I'm actually shocked that they publish such high graduation placement rates so want to know more about that.

That's what I would expect for sure. I work on an interview prep program that is self-paced part-time and people take all kinds of vacations, pauses, ramp up and down, etc... so I would expect that too.
But all the marketing has such high rates that I'm trying to figure out if a piece of the pie is missing.
FWIW, I think their report is far from perfect but the fine print does outline the methodology. They only include "placed graduates who responded to the report" - which is fine to me, but as a consumer you should know that in interpreting the numbers.
