        Also worth noting: If this Lambda School student and a CS major started school on the same day, by the time the CS grad has a diploma the Lambda grad has 3+ years of work experience, no debt, has paid Lambda back, and has earned an additional $250k-$300k in income.

        I’ve been hearing great things about Lambda School! I’m curious; are job offer rates higher for graduates of certain concentrations? Eg. Full Stack Web Development vs. iOS Development

        We only have web dev grads so far. I’d guess android and iOS will be higher though.

        I am curious what do you think are the biggest factors contributing to this - aligned incentives, better teaching methods, being more selective for students and faculty or something else?

        I think a key factor is that CS programs are typically math-heavy and designed more to create Computer Scientists than solid Software Engineers. From what I've seen of Lambda's program, it does a much better job focusing on software engineering, and also includes CS teachings.

        If you want a PhD in CS and do research for a living, you'd be better off in a university. But for most CS students who want a successful career as a software engineer, I'd say Lambda's approach is much better. I have a degree in CS, btw. I wish Lambda was around 8 years ago. :)

        Absolutely fantastic. It will be an uphill battle, but you’re already off to a great start. Education is the differentiator. It can change everything! You’re helping ensure a successful digital future.
