A lot of talk about Lambda School today, and most of it I'll ignore.

A lot of talk about Lambda School today, and most of it I'll ignore.

One I'm going to respond to - that Lambda School is "creaming" - removing the best students from other schools and locking them into ISAs.

This is full of student stories, so buckle up.

J is a single father, high school dropout with two kids (1.6 GPA), had been working in a warehouse for four years. We noticed in our intro courses he was doing well at programming, and decided to invest.

He attended Lambda, now makes software for warehouses, making $80k+/yr

S had to drop out of school when she couldn't afford the payments on her archaeology degree. She was living in a car when she applied to Lambda School.

She was also hired at an $80k rate.

D had an associate of arts degree from the local community college and was making $10/hr washing dogs.

After she attended Lambda she was hired making $130k+ total comp ($110 base).

Chris dropped out of college and was managing at a local Chipotle making minimum wage.

He was hired at the same company as D, making the same comp - $130k. He recorded his thoughts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnujqB66xBo

Honestly I'm just looking at our offers database pulling our random names at this point, this isn't even hard
