If you have to have a PhD this isn't a bootcamp, it's just a pay for play networking funnel. It's literally the thinnest wedge you can fit a business in in this space. Convince people they won't find a job without you and then charge then for the privilege of being a part of it. And charge companies a finders fee.

A PhD could walk into a job without this 7 week whatever. Vulgar and predatory.

Reading some of that site I get the impression that corporate delusions of grandeur must be reaching epic levels. 5 years (under)graduate and 3-5 years PhD and apparently you're still not good enough.. what a farce.

Sure I'll pay 20k to participate in <stock photo session> so employers more leniently bestow upon me their blessing of <job>. Just waiting for the day even a PhD is made to be (!) considered worthless on its own.

I mean it was free for years.
