The vast majority of these are App Academy (a/A) programming bootcamp graduates, which explains why only 10% have CS degrees. Bootcamp graduates are probably not representative of all CS grads, or even most devs, so take this with a grain of salt.

It looks like App Academy grads vastly out-earn their CS-degreed counterparts. I wonder if that is representative of App Academy. If so, that is impressive.

App Academy is extremely selective (less than 3%). Also there is probably sample bias, since these are all self-reported.

So App Academy is fulfilling the selection process that companies really want?

Sounds like a cheaper way to a $150k salary than spending 4 years at a top CS university or MBA program.

Indeed. I'm a graduate (3+ years ago). Best thing I ever did.
