And the problems mentioned in the article are straightforward to fix:
(a) Be honest and transparent about the job placement rate for each batch
(b) Don't sell the ISA or borrow against it
(c) Improve the quality of teaching and accept a lower growth rate
- Step888 7y agoTake a look at the other coding bootcamps on that site. They all seem to have very positive reviews. The problem is that switchup uses the affiliate links of the bootcamps, so it has a financial incentive to sell the bootcamps it features to its viewers. That's how it makes its money. Now Amazon does the same thing, you'll say. And you'd be right, but with Amazon, it has a reputation to maintain. If Amazon reviews are unreliable, people will stop shopping at Amazon. With Switchup, it's different. Most people will only buy one coding bootcamp in their lifetime. So withchup doesn't have the same incentive to make its reviews super accurate. It mostly has the incentive to sell as many coding bootcamps as it can.
