Hi, two notes 1. Not sure where those numbers are coming from to get more context, but a "software engineer" is the most general job title for all engineers. Full stack engineer is also fairly general and usually implies that you are not a front end only or backend only engineer and that you can put do work on the entity stack. 2. In terms of the how much money are you making question. One flaw with all outcomes, including CIRR, is the numbers are only for people who graduated and got jobs. So it's not like the average or the median person signing up makes $100K at the end, but the average or the median person who graduates and then finds a job and reports their salary makes that much. So you should NOT see it as a "if I sign up for this and do average I will make $100K". You have to look at how many people graduate, because 50% of people might not even graduate to be included in the stats.

So the failure rate is high? 50% seems very intimidating

Sorry that was an EXAMPLE, I pulled up Full Stack Academy's latest report from 2019 and it was 85% but a lot has changed in the past 3 years and I would ask for the current rate.
