How will you prevent this from becoming predatory as pressure for improving the bottom line mounts?
It feels like a very fine line between altruism and taking advantage of ignorance.
- austenallred 9y agoI'm not sure how to answer that question; if you are giving people a job it's hard to be too predatory so long as you charge reasonable rates. We simply try to be honest and fair up-front.

- austenallred 9y agoYou sign an agreement.
- sattoshi 9y agoHow exactly is this taking advantage of anybody?
- balls187 9y agoThe exact terms aren't disclosed, and what is disclosed is too open ended. This is what I could get from their website. https://lambdaschool.com/about https://lambdaschool.com/about > Attending Lambda School is completely free up-front, and students pay back a portion of their income after they find a high-paying job. > If, for some reason, a student is unable to find a job with a salary above the set threshold, they are not required to pay anything. The total amount of repayment is also capped at a pre-determined maximum amount. How long is the statute of limitations before I no longer have to pay? What if I am unable to get a job, and then later do a paid-for program that does land a job? What if I get a job as in QA, Program/Product Management? What will stop you from changing your terms mid-course and require me to accept new terms before finishing?
- austenallred 9y agoIf you email we can send you a link to the whole agreement. We don't post links to it publicly for a few reasons. You sign an agreement at the beginning of the course, so we can't change terms on you.
