Priyanka "Girl, Don't Yell" Chopra is an investor in Holberton School, a tech bootcamp that promises grads a career with a 6 figure salary.

On the surface, it seems like a great program. However...

If Lambda School is trash, then Holberton School is a dumpster fire.

Thread.

If you're new here, hey. I'm Keziyah. I'm a software engineer, and I expose tech bootcamps for fun.

I've been accused of getting paid by competitors to do this.

Nope.

I just want people to know the truth.

I went to a bootcamp and it changed my life for the better.

I have a job I enjoy that pays well. I can see the day when I'm finally out of debt. One day I can buy my mom a house. I can travel and work at the same time.

I want other people to have these opportunities.

But in order to get people into tech jobs, they need to be educated properly.

Unfortunately, many bootcamps are doing a terrible job. Instead of helping students, they are actively harming them, and in some cases, ruining lives.

So, someone needs to talk about this.

Just like with my Lambda School thread, what I'm saying here is based on what others have told me.

Students/alumni have sent me information about what goes on at Holberton School.

They will all be kept anonymous.

This thread will probably be long and I'll possibly be adding more over the next few days.

Anyway, let's begin.

Holberton School is one of the ISA (income share agreement) bootcamps.

How does an ISA work? It's "free" now, and then you pay a percentage of your income for a certain period of time after you get a job.
