5 year retention is nuts. Amazon’s for AWS is 30 days.

Honestly, there’s nothing really that screams dishonesty than this tweet. Saying that your outcomes are stronger than ever when every tech company was laying off and headcount was frozen just doesn’t pass the smell test.

There's probably a good argument to ignore rule breaking and little deceptive marketing if the student outcomes are good but it looks like in-aggregate that they weren't and that students were better off taking a loan and attending Oregon State's Post Bac in CS or Hack Reactor.

It doesn't matter if your infra is in another region, because there will almost always be transitive dependencies on us-east-1. IAM is deployed in us-east-1 and there will always be a transitive dependency on us-east-1

For SDE internships, no. It’s strictly coding. For non-tech they do.

As much as I hate to admit it, I'll probably still pay it because it's just so much superior to other cable offerings(recording, multiple devices). And there's no other way to watch live sports.

Overall, the complaints about job placement rates seem valid. It's hard not to read all the material that's been published and make the not determination that they're being dishonest by claiming a 75 percent job placement rate.
