    In 2020 I graduated from a coding bootcamp and became a software engineer. After 2.5 years and 2 years and two months into my first engineering job I was laid off. I joined Joy of coding academy, a coding boot camp, because they offered an internship that I could add to my resume and had a job guarantee for students. I skimmed the bootcamp curriculum, turned in final projects and joined the internship, all the while applying for tech jobs. After about 8 months of looking I found a job. This had little to nothing to do with joy of coding. The program had been disorganized and a general let down. Students couldn't make it past the curriculum but for those with lots of previous experience or exceptional talent or determination who did there was a an internship that was not entirely fulfilling its promises to students but it was good for my resume. Exiting the program I was asked if Id share my success story with others. I declined to because the program felt scamy and the leadership was being dishonest with students about what to expect out of the program. Emily, the owner, was telling students that they could make six figures as software engineers out of school which is not true and that her interns were receiving job offers left and right. This was also not true. As a result I shared that I did not want to be included in JOC marketing and that I could not recommend the program. Today I discovered that, in direct violation of JOCs privacy policy, my personal information, along with 2 other students who did not want their information posted, was on JOCs site...my name, my photo, my salary and a slue of disinformation about my history as a software engineer. I asked Emily to remove it. She put a smiley face over my photo. I told her I had no choice to report her. I am atleast the 4th student this has happened to. Generally Emily claims that people new to software engineering are getting 6 figure offers. THis is not true. Shes scamming students.
