CodeSmith graduates, how long did it take you to find a job after graduating?

Codesmith just released their 2021 H1 data last night, and the percentage of people who got jobs within 3 months and 6 months improved (over already good previous numbers) and is quite good: LA (130 people): 48% in 90 days, 85% in 180 days NY (123 people): 51% in 90 days, 89% in 180 days Remote PT (25 people): 71% in 90 days, 88% in 180 days. There's some wiggle room that these are of the people who GRADUATED, which is 96+% so doesn't impact much right. And some people stopped reporting their data after 90 days, again very small number (0 to 7% stopped reporting after 90 days depending on the program). Anyways, yeah you should try to find how long it took people with a similar background to yourself to get a job so giving a bit more info about your background could help others chime in anecdotally.

I wonder why remote was able to find jobs at a higher rate in the first 90 days. I would have thought that in person-full time would have faster job placement rates

My understanding is that there was a small cohort that was their "test" cohort for remote but that was back in 2020. I saw a video they did possibly on Course Report (I have YouTube running in the background almost all the time and consume a ton of stuff) where they discussed this test period. But this is for people that started it H12021 which presumably would be a much larger number of people. Someone on good authority said cohorts have about 35 peopleso 25 is an odd number. Would love someone that knows the answer to come in. Maybe more people dropped out and were fully refunded to be nice during COVID and we're excluded? Maybe the program indeed had only one or tiny cohorts and what not at capacity? I have no idea, but remote programs in general have much lower engagement and higher dropout rates in industry in general. Does anyone know anything?
