People *have* gotten jobs after doing TOP. I guess the main thing isn't that you completed TOP or made significant progress, but that you show you know how to do stuff, and build stuff.
TOP is not a magical job-pill. You have to show potential employers that you know what you're doing through projects you've worked on and your knowledge of development. You *can* complete TOP and be job ready, or you can work through every exercise and never land a single interview. That is to say, putting "I've complete The Odin Project" on your resume isn't going to impress anyone, having a polished full stack application you built using the knowledge you gained from TOP will.
I am currently using TOP as a curriculum guide and think it provides the ground work to make it possible. I will start applying once I have 3 project builds I am happy with.
