I've been shopping around for a coding boot camp and Codesmith seems to stand out above the rest. Does anyone have much experience with the program or know much about it? Thanks!
Codesmith isn’t a cut above the rest, but it is one of the top bootcamps. One of the reasons why their outcomes are higher is because about a third of people have some amount of relevant experience before going in, and those peoples outcomes skew the distribution higher. Codesmith doesn’t publish outcomes for people who had no relevant experience going in but there are plenty of people making under $100,000 from there and they tend to lean to the inexperienced people. The CIRR results put this in the 20% of people making under like 110K. I believe their application contract you signed, had some legal disclosure that has more of a breakdown with the people at the lower buckets.

CIRR, their admission contract? What do you want the source for?

It's in their CIRR report. 20% of graduates who get jobs make over $140K and 20% who get jobs make under $110K or so, and not including all the poeple who don't get jobs make zero.
Their admissions contract can't me shared but if you singed one or have an offer, they are obligated to disclosure certain numbers and outcomes and the numbers don't add up to CIRR without further explanation.
Don't get scared about this but if you get an offer... spend 20 minutes doing the math between CIRR and the contract your are signing.
