- austenallred 8y agoThat is very specific. They have to have made it to an on-site and been rejected before Lambda? Well that eliminates 99% of our student body from contention.
- yanslookup 8y agoHow else can we isolate the effects of the program? To be honest I subscribe to the idea that the FANG etc interviews are proxies for an IQ test. So it is entirely possible lambda school trains a high enough IQ individual and they pass a full loop. And by that I mean they pass based on their IQ AND the training they got in the program.
- austenallred 8y agoIf you subscribe to the idea that FAANG interviews are IQ tests, then by definition you won’t be able to isolate the effects of the program. I don’t think we really move the needle on IQ.
- levthedev 8y agoThat doesn't make any sense. Why would someone have interviewed at Google before doing a bootcamp like Lambda School, which is specifically meant to teach someone (with almost zero experience) programming? If you've made it to a Google onsite, you probably don't need to go to a bootcamp.
