> They promised career guidance, including having a career councilor, but I never got one. They kept telling my cohort we would get our councilors after this or that milestone, but when we got there they would move the goalpost again. The closest we got was a resume course that was not relevant to tech at all and a resume review by another student.

> They then started billing me for it because I was working in tech, in the job I had for 6 years before I ever even started their program.

This is similar to the bootcamp I saw up close. They promised placement help, making it sound as if they had a strong incentive to help students succeed, but in the end all they did was have someone comment on their resume.

Eventually the student got a low-paying job based on their previous education and the company took a big chunk of the income. The job was unrelated to the useless and poorly executed instruction, yet they still got the money, because they had a signed contract.

This is no better than the guys that make money on phishing attacks. Just a different form of scam.
