Would You Attend This Coding Bootcamp After This Lawsuit?

[@sydneycamille1932]

Idk I’m a current student there and I’ve just had a way different experience. You actually get 18 months to finish the course so I work a full time job and run a business on the side and still make time. Also reread my tuition refund guarantee and there’s nothing about having to come to class on time 🤔 also class attendance is optional so I don’t get how that is true. It does require a LOT of documentation that you have been actually TRYING to get a job - like interviews, applications, regular meetings with Bloomtech career services- after graduating. But nothing about class attendance. Also my tuition is only $22K and I ended up getting $4,000 off so I just don’t understand where the $30K came from. Every time I need support, I can either attend a live course, or an instructor gets back to me within 24 hours. Just wanted to share a different perspective.

Not to mention that if you don’t finish, you only have to pay for what you completed. Also I’m only on sprint 6 and the content has been sufficient enough for me to begin freelance projects. NGL it is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, and not for the faint of heart. But it is totally worth it. YPlus I think I just enrolled with the mindset that no one’s “job placement guarantee” is going to get me a job. It’s my knowledge base, portfolio, skill set, and ability to communicate that will get me a job.

@@sydneycamille1932 not true they will charge you as if you completed the program and will try to force you to pay even if you were already working in the IT industry, this a scam !

Hi Sydney, can you tell me about your experience with Bloom tech? I'm looking into it but I'd like to know the pros and cons about Bloom tech. Have you found a job since you've completed the bootcamp? Would you recommend this particular bootcamp?

[@logicwon]

How about when you take out a loan for 17k for a bootcamp that gives you mostly pre recorded videos 90% of the course and they swore it was blended 60/40don’t cover all curriculum promote to assist in job placement with 19,000 industry partners and you realize they don’t do nothing but tell you how to fix your resume and LinkedIn.. and their job placement data is from 2020 also is based off people who went back to work in their prior fields or got a job on their own connections or even got an internship or week ass contract for 3 months and they make it seem 97% of people have jobs. You connect to their alumni and realize a lot of us don’t have jobs. Their after hours employees don’t have a real job and been looking for over a year..

yes I will I already did. Some people be samming though it is horrible, some places don't do that shit. I wish my bootcamp found everyone a job. How about them schools that be like you dont' have to pay until you land a job but then tell you to pay this. That is the problem like what you saying but 40k is way to much

[@devslopes]

That's why we're here to give and tell THE TRUTH.

[@esamcoding]

I would say 40k may not be too much IF the student didn't have the money to do anything else. at least he is getting a chance.

@@esamcoding and that was where the program fit me. I have no one except for a goldfish, no husband, kids and a house, so I could afford to pay the 17%. My rationale as to why I went this route was because THEY were going to work their butt off to find me a job, it was in their best interest. In theory it was a good idea, but seeing the influx of students with the same predicament, I think it became a bit too much for them. I believed in their mission, so I did my own side quest and found a way in the industry. For some people who used to make 35k 17% hurts. But if you're making over 90k 17k even with taxes at some point takes you back to what you would have made 35k in gross which is still more. I can see how its not ideal for people who have partners and have children to provide and care for.

Does anybody know of any boot camps in nyc that are actually good for a full time worker.
