The top coding bootcamps like Hack Reactor have 99% placement rates for their graduates within 6 months with average salary of 100k.
And if you don't get a job, hack reactor charges you NOTHING. That is how confident they are in their students.

> The schools that tout six-figure salaries, such as Hack Reactor, tend to set a higher bar for admission, seeking candidates that already have some experience with code.
Another quote to take note of:
> "There's no world in which somebody who's been programming for a few months will be competitive with someone coding for 10 to 15 years."
Looks as though they keep a pretty high bar for their students and that will lead to an overall more talented grad than your everyday bootcamp but its still crazy.
For that price you could hire 3 excellent remote workers.
I've looked at the alumni they have on their site - most seem to be hired by startups (ie. companies that likely have more money than sense). Coupled with the knowledge that its BA then maybe we're a little closer to an explanation.
Still utter insanity.
Wonder where this industry will be when the bubble pops.
