can you explain to me how the career accelerator works? Like for instance I don't know any frontend, would that help me too? or this is more of DSR (which I also need too lol)

So every bootcamp I know the curriculum of is a firehose of information that doesn't go into depth on any specific topic... some more than others, but it's a common trait. So if you want to learn frontend you don't properly learn frontend in a bootcamp. Instead you get a few lectures in React and a few projects reviewed by recent graduates. It's not the place to go for ongoing career growth, it's a place to help transition careers when you have no idea how the industry works. Career accelerators are based on the idea of making your next job better than your current job. There are a wide range of them out there and they are all different. But if you can already code and have experience to talk about in interviews, it sounds to me like you need a program to get a better next job, and not to get any kind of first job. In the end, I don't know enough about you to say either way but you should consider these types of programs.
