I did, but the job I got was being a TA for App Academy, so that might not count in your eyes.

Their figures are telling the truth: I don't know anyone from the previous cohort who was dissatisfied with their experience of job search.

Indeed it does not. I don't count your experience as an example of the OP.

dissatisfied with their experience of job search.

That's... an awfully strange phrasing. Do you mean they all found a web development job as a result of attending App Academy? Or what?

Pretty much all of them, yes. I should have phrased that better.

My experience was unusual, but if they hadn't hired me, I expect I would have been hired like my classmates.

Out of curiosity, why did you take the TA job? Does it pay more than $90k a year?
