Wildly different curricula. Most bootcamps are (roughly speaking) 6 weeks lessons, 6 weeks projects. Lambda is 20 weeks lessons, 6 weeks projects. Also entirely online - no need to move to SF on your own for 3 months, and no upfront deposit. Increases accessibility about 100x.

Most of the stuff employers want to see engineers know bootcamps don't even *touch*. Ask someone technical to compare the curricula, and you'll see how it maps to placement rates as we gather more data.

Haha for sure. See the curriculum. https://github.com/LambdaSchool/LambdaCSA-Syllabus …. We really started from a place of "How can we create the best engineers" then worked backwards to business model, instead of "someone shows up with $12k how much can we teach them?"

Here's a map of where the first ~100 Lambda School students live. The vast majority of our students couldn't afford a $1,000 deposit, let alone move to SF. Of the 5 students that got jobs 3 have never made more than $15/hr before.pic.twitter.com/iLcfWO9Sxk

Can you clarify? Did more than 5 of that 100 student cohort get jobs?

It was a 20 person cohort that graduated last week. 5 have jobs so far
