Man this is brutal. I just started the cohort but it is so disorganized with a lack of guidance that I am shocked that these guys have anything nice to say. The classes are organized in a way where you literally don't know where to begin. The fact that they did all of the work and do not have jobs remotely in this field really bummed me out. I don't even think you get certs out of this. Maybe there are a lucky few who landed a good job after doing the program but I am not sure how. Personally I think I may have to go a different route. This massive commitment of time and disrupting my family life with a less than slim chance of getting a job doesn't feel like a solid move.

Don is so right on the analysis. This program is deceptively VERY HARD. They have partnerships with Amazon and JP Morgan so there is a job path but Zero to Spring Boot in a year is so tough. It is doable, though. Supplementation is key. Learn frontend and React FIRST. Then CS50 Mobile track and Sololearn Java. Congrats to these three gentlemen. True warriors.

As a recent Tech Elevator grad, I Feel for these students. They would have been much better off paying 2x the price for MUCH BETTER curriculum, better instructors, support in both the coding curriculum and career services. Blown away by some of the feedback about Merit America. It sounds like a poor program tbh compared to other bootcamps out there.

It's a lot like any other bootcamp in that you'll get out what you're able to put into it.

Hey Don! I was in your last livestream and I forgot to ask something. I saw you adding articles to the articles section directly. How did you do that? I tried researching it and discovered CMSs like Sanity. I was wondering if that's what you used. Thank you!

The other two guys didn't mention if they were working in the field or not

I would just check out their Linkedin profiles. I've included those in the video description.

Yeah, I was wondering if they had a job in that particular field as well as if they didn't find a job, but found another job that was not in that field did they have to pay it back and how much out of their paycheck they had to pay?

According to LinkedIn, as of now Daniel hasn’t found a job, Kevin got a job in May (5 months search) and Jacob got a job in August (8 months search).

The job search seems to be grueling. I’m uncertain if I want to start it. Also, It looks like the developer jobs available decreased significantly in 2023.

Part of this feels like unrealistic expectations. Other part feels like the speakers are expecting this non-profit to help them overcome a challenging tech market that’s gone through multiple layoffs. I work as a career coach for a top university and even my students are struggling in tech at the bachelor’s master’s and PhD level.
