Geography is a big factor. Tech Elevator is an a lot of lower paying markets, like Cincinnati, Cleveland, Wilmington, Detroit. Those markets pay 20 to 30% less, even at the same companies. e.g. Amazon Detroit entry level is like $115K versus $160K in NYC.
So $120K -> $84K.

No, and I don't know much about them unfortunately. They were acquired by Stride, a big education company at the end of 2020 but seem to haven't changed much since then.

Well is TE CIRR stats only for there brick and mortar campus? Wouldn't remote be higher as not everyone is in the Chicago area? $65k seems very low.

The salary stats are also only people who report their salaries. People who are verified as employed on LinkedIn count as placed, even though they didn't report their salary.
And yeah their salaries seem low to me, but their graduation and placements rates are really high, so I believe they have more lower-paying apprenticeship-type partnerships.
