    Lambda School's most recent cohort to reach 6 months on the job market just hit 86% hired. We only count a student as "hired" if they're making $50k+ as a software engineer.

        Is the denominator the total # of people who started the program (or reached some "official start" metric, recognizing there are a lot of functional window shoppers) or only those who finished the program?

        The denominator is graduates. Makes no sense to measure hiring rate of people who didn't graduate.

        I trust/imagine you all are faithful/honest, but remember in the first wave of bootcamp mania hearing many stories of students being "kicked out" a day/week before graduation to juice those numbers. placement rates should be shared/celebrated in parallel w graduation rates.

        Ya that's not happening. Our graduation rate is around 85%

        There would be zero incentive, right. As company gets paid when people get good paying jobs

        Depends. Post-grad placement rate (and then post-hire performance) are top datapoints for marketing/growth. You could imagine someone v cynical juicing those #s even at risk of short-term revenue bc student acq is the harder long-term problem than grad placement

        Lambda doesn't strike me as being anywhere near the student acq problem. I'd expect the opposite, and I'd expect that to be a trend for the next year or two. Even after that tbqh, given they clearly understand how to tell a story better than any other bootcamp style school.

        little confusing to parse. does this mean the cohort that has been graduated for 6 months has 86% job placement? i.e. it took 6 months after graduation to place 86% of applicants?

        At 6 months on the job market is where every school measures itself. The question is what is the rate when you're at that point.

        What about the percent of graduates that are employed as a software engineer but not considered "hired" by your definition?

        Impressive! Does that include people who graduated but decided they didn’t want to become a software developer?

        Don't sell yourself short. Get a feel for it. Lambda offers free two week bootcamps in a variety of topics to see what fits you. Coming from someone with no background in programming either, it will change your perspective on what you can do
