Dubious hiring ad on HN front page? (news.ycombinator.com)
1 point by mellosouls 19 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments


The title claims "give you 200k+ job", the landing page only talks about "potential" offers.

On the landing page there is a lack of clarity about whether the work the "challengers" do is used to generate revenue and why it is necessary for ludicrous (100!) work hours.

"During this time, Challengers spend 100 hours per week developing under production constraints"

Can somebody from the company or HN clarify exactly what is going on?


It is Austen Allred's latest iteration of Lambda school/BloomTech. I guess that makes this their 3rd rebranding. I'd say the consensus is that it is a big scam. He has been smacked down by the feds and ordered to shut down in the past as well, so definitely not a legit operation.
