Lambda School

[sanantone]

What do you think about income-sharing programs? Some of their contracts verge on being predatory, but Lambda School seems a little better. They offer online coding bootcamps that last 6+ months. You have two options. You can either pay $20k upfront or 17% of your annual salary for two years after landing a job that pays at least $50k. The max you'll pay is $30k in total. If you choose not to pay upfront and never get a job that pays more than $50k per year, then you don't pay anything. 

I'm iffy about this one. Seventeen percent of a paycheck is a lot, and $30k is a lot for a program that is only 6-8 months. I'm also not sure if spending $30k just to make $50k is a good investment. One can get a whole bachelor's degree for that amount. I'm sure they have some graduates making more than $75k, but it's a risk. Also, one review I read said that you can't work full-time while in the program.
