I read the message as "Your industry sucks to work in now, doesn't it? Why not come to our website to study web programming online so you can come join the tech startup industry instead?"
- mseebach 14y agoThat's a very charitable reading. It's a PR play for the training outfit, and not a terribly good one, IMO.
- kyllo 14y agoThe post is an advertisement to be sure. But they are being somewhat charitable themselves by giving their service away for free to ex-Citi employees.
- bitcartel 14y agoAh, but how many get the full service, and not just online course material? How do they scale their "one-on-one help" to 11k people? Thinkful only get paid when a hiring manager employs somebody that they introduced. If I were to be an old curmudgeon, this is PR off the back of bad news, to try and scalp potential leads and resumes.
