Right, because you can hire from the graduating class of Stanford, Berkeley, CMU, MIT, etc., and instead you choose a Walgreens Shift Lead from a "coding bootcamp."

Sounds legit.

Parent is being disingenious. They held 5 positions (plus military reserve) over a period of 4 years between "Walgreens Shift Lead" and "Web Application Developer" at a staffing agency.

I, too, got a six-figure "raise" from middle school to today.

Considering there was less than a year between AudioThrift (where I was making ~$20k) and ink on the Google contract... I wouldn't think it's all that disingenuous.
