Mixed feelings ... 50k/yr hardly sounds like a successful placement for a semi competent programmer, more like a pipeline to the gulag in a profession that's notoriously bad at obtaining fair wages. (I presume OP will be teaching the segment on living in your car in Palo Alto ... ;p ) However, I've always been curious about this business model for schools and hope it succeeds!
- austenallred 9y agoThe number is $50k because of folks in smaller/more rural areas. There $50k can be quite a lot.
- jhall1468 9y agoYes it can, which is why using a flat pretax minimum is absolutely silly. $50k in Seattle isn't living confortably, but with your cut it's $41.5k. That's less than a bank teller makes. You should have a COL adjusted minimum. Otherwise you'll only be targeting rural areas where most jobs aren't.
- austenallred 9y agoYa, we could, that just gets complicated really fast
