What happens to our graduates after graduation.

The Metana Outcomes Report is our annual, cohort-tracked summary of graduate results across every Metana bootcamp - job placement rates, average starting salaries, and time-to-offer, broken down by program rather than blended into one headline number. Across all programs, graduates place at an 86% rate within 10 months of graduation, at an average starting salary of $80K, though those figures vary by track: Software Engineering graduates average $95K with an 88% placement rate, while Web3/Solidity graduates average $105K at 81% placement, each with its own time-to-offer. The report is compiled from Career Success team records and graduate self-reporting, not marketing estimates, and it exists specifically because outcomes claims in bootcamp marketing are easy to fudge - we publish ours so prospective students can see exactly how the numbers are calculated before enrolling, and so we can be held to them by our own guarantee.

Placement rate is the percentage of graduates from a completed cohort who land a full-time, related-field role paying at least $50,000 a year within 10 months of graduation - the same threshold and window that backs our Job Guarantee. We track outcomes at the cohort level rather than cherry-picking individual success stories: every graduate who completed the program and engaged with our Career Success team's Jobcamp process is included in the count, not just the ones who landed the highest offers. That means a cohort's published placement rate reflects everyone who finished, including graduates who took longer to land something or whose search is still ongoing within the 10-month window. Using the same methodology across every cohort and program is what lets us compare Cyber Security's 85% placement rate against Software Engineering's 88% or Web3/Solidity's 81% and have those numbers mean the same thing, rather than each program defining "placed" differently to look better.

Salary figures are self-reported by graduates during exit and post-placement surveys, then cross-checked against offer letters in cases where graduates choose to share them - we don't require documentation to be included in the report, which is why we describe the verification as partial rather than claiming every figure is independently audited. What we're careful about is how the averages are calculated: each program's average salary, like the $95K figure for Software Engineering graduates or $105K for Web3/Solidity graduates, is computed across the full graduating cohort included in that report period, not just the highest earners or the graduates who happened to respond to a survey with good news. That cohort-wide approach means outlier offers, whether unusually high or unusually low, get averaged in rather than filtered out, which is also why average salary varies meaningfully by program and by hiring conditions during that cohort's 10-month placement window rather than staying flat year over year.

Yes - every Metana bootcamp carries the same underlying guarantee structure, whether you're in Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Web3/Solidity, or one of the AI programs. If you meet the requirements - completing your coursework, engaging with the Career Success team's Jobcamp process, and opting into the guarantee at enrollment - and still don't secure a full-time, related-field job paying at least $50,000 a year within 10 months of graduation, you receive a 100% tuition refund. There's also a separate, unconditional 14-day risk-free withdrawal window from your start date, in case the program itself isn't the right fit early on. The per-program placement rates in this report differ - Cyber Security at 85%, Software Engineering at 88%, Web3/Solidity at 81%, AI Automations at 84% - because hiring demand and salary bands differ by field, but the guarantee protecting graduates who don't clear that bar is identical across every track, not something that only applies to the programs with the strongest numbers.

Placement rate, average salary, and time-to-offer all vary with each field's hiring demand and salary bands, not with how good the teaching is in one program versus another. Web3/Solidity graduates carry the highest average salary in this report at $105K, reflecting how blockchain and smart-contract roles are compensated in the market, but also the lowest placement rate at 81% and the longest average time-to-offer at 4.6 months, since that hiring market is narrower than general software roles. Software Engineering sits at the other end: an 88% placement rate and the fastest average time-to-offer at 3.8 months, because full-stack and backend roles are simply more numerous. Cyber Security, at 85% placement and $80K average salary, and AI Automations, at 84% and $92K, land in between. None of these differences change the guarantee itself - the same $50K minimum and 10-month window applies everywhere - they just reflect how differently each specialty's job market behaves during a given cohort's search.

Yes - this report itself already breaks outcomes down by program rather than blending everything into one company-wide number, so you can see placement rate, average salary, and time-to-offer for Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Web3/Solidity, and AI Automations before you enroll. If you want more detail than the report shows, such as the most recent cohort's specific numbers, typical roles graduates in your target program actually land, or how outcomes have trended over recent cohorts, book a call with an advisor and they'll walk you through it directly. We'd rather you make an enrollment decision with real numbers in front of you than a general promise, since the guarantee itself is only meaningful if the outcomes backing it are transparent. That same advisor call is also where you'll confirm your eligibility for the guarantee and see exactly which requirements apply to the program you're considering.
