How Our Students Are Landing Jobs Faster Than Traditional Bootcamps
I want to be very transparent here, because this matters if youâre deciding where to invest your time and money. Our students arenât landing jobs faster because theyâre âsmarterâ They arenât coding 12 hours a day And itâs not because we have some secret hiring hack The real reason comes down to structure, incentives, and accountability. Hereâs what traditional bootcamps get wrong: 1ď¸âŁ They optimize for teaching, not outcomes Most bootcamps are designed like schools: - Fixed curriculum - Fixed timeline - Same projects for everyone - Little to no individual feedback You can âgraduateâ without being job-ready. At that point, theyâve already won, you paid. 2ď¸âŁ No real accountability once you fall behind Life happens. When students miss a week or get stuck: - They quietly fall behind - Confidence drops - Momentum dies Thatâs why bootcamps have massive drop-off rates (they just donât advertise them). 3ď¸âŁ Portfolios that look like everyone elseâs Hiring managers can spot bootcamp portfolios instantly. Same layouts, same projects, same patterns. Thatâs not a skill issue, itâs a system issue. Hereâs why our students move faster đ â
Outcome-based structure Everything we do is reverse engineered from one goal: âWould this help you get hired?â If the answer is no, it doesnât make the curriculum. â
1:1 accountability + pressure (in a good way) Students donât disappear for weeks. They have: - Clear weekly expectations - Someone checking progress - Someone calling out avoidance early This alone speeds people up more than any âbetter content.â â
Job guarantee = aligned incentives This is the uncomfortable truth most programs avoid: When a school guarantees outcomes, theyâre forced to: - Filter for commitment - Fix broken systems fast - Care deeply about results If you donât get hired, we havenât finished our job That changes everything. â
Portfolios built to win interviews, not impress beginners Students build: - Targeted portfolios - Senior-looking projects - Work that makes recruiters pause
