    Yet again: Never programmed before to six figure job offer in six months. When has that kind of swing been possible in human history? It’s insane.

        Looked more into your site, I appreciate what you're doing but online programming schools are a dime a dozen these days. What % of grads hit the 50k mark?

        Over 80% so far, and our first class graduated less than 6 months ago. If they don’t reach that level they don’t pay.

        If this is possible for someone fresh from your courses, why do I not hear more stories of 6fig positions going to people with years of experience already? What's are the difference's between what you offer and non lambda graduates?

        So your course isn't different, or more effective than average? Youre just highlighting a single case from your graduates but recognise it could happen at any other similar course with the same frequency?

        It’s 2.5x the length and I’d argue much more effective, however we’re not the only school with six figure outcomes

        How do you know it's more effective? Why? What are you measuring that tells you that? Where are the comparisons? Thanks.

        I’d love to join your program but I can’t be jobless for 6 months. How long is your part time program? This could be a life changer!

        How are alumni performing 3-6 months into the job? It's easy to prepare someone for standard interview processes, but how do they handle the everyday things that might not be textbook-like?

        I think this answer could be interesting, but only if it compares college grads too.

        Everyone is doing great. We don’t train engineers to know what’s in the textbook. We train them to learn quickly.

        Question, are these individuals who obtain these 6 figure jobs in programming(having no background knowledge or experience in programming) devoting 6 full months to learn the trade and are technically "unemployed" while applying?

        Thanks for the reply. Care to share any secrets for picking up the trade that quickly? Other than devoting the time of course.
