Actually, 105k but it's not that hard to believe in the bay area.

Even if Hack Reactor is an exception to the rule paying 105k for someone with 3 months experience is genuine insanity.

Looks as though they keep a pretty high bar for their students and that will lead to an overall more talented grad than your everyday bootcamp but its still crazy.

For that price you could hire 3 excellent remote workers.

I've looked at the alumni they have on their site - most seem to be hired by startups (ie. companies that likely have more money than sense). Coupled with the knowledge that its BA then maybe we're a little closer to an explanation.

Still utter insanity.

I have ~4 years of experience and I make 60k, and feel like I'm worth closer to 35-40.

Wonder where this industry will be when the bubble pops.
