Enough talk. Who will commit to actually hiring black engineers, full time, market rate?

- We could not be more proud to announce that 100% of our most recent cohort of graduates have found jobs, as software engineers, at an average salary of $96,000. We conducted NO assessment; our recruitment is project-based. It can be done.
- We support our students in their learning. We support alumni on the job. And we support them as they take to the streets in their peaceful defense of justice. Resilient Coders has never been about coding. It’s about the recalibration of power.
- #basecamp announcement is just a recent example of leaders believing that people exist to support their companies, rather than companies existing to support their people
- When the median net worth of a Black family in Boston is $8 (compared to $247,500 for a white family), we don't want our coders' money. We want every penny they make to go towards building wealth for the communities of color that are left behind.
- Enough with the empty blog posts and tweets about solidarity. Hire POC into high-growth careers.
- Black Wages Matter too
- ...but yeah so anyway kneeling during the national anthem is disrespectful to everything our country stands for
- Today we celebrate 9 job offers before graduation. We provided a stipend so students could focus on learning, and we’ll never ask them to pay it back.
- Shout out to the current cohort for graduating today! Congratulations– you are now Resilient Alumni. You are the movement.
- Every time the @MBTA breaks down, like the Blue Line this morning, our students have to spend some of their educational stipends on uber and lyft to get to class. This is spectacularly broken. They deserve a system that works as hard as they do.
- We conduct no intake test. Yet we graduate full-time software engineers. Very few of our students have college degrees. Yet we graduate full-time software engineers. We bet on potential and then up-skill. So we graduate full-time software engineers. It can be done. Join us.
