I'm bias because I'm the co-founder of a mentorship platform/career accelerator, but I would consider this type of option if you already have work experience - [Formation](https://Formation.dev).dev, Interview Kickstart, Pathrise, Coachable (all of these have deferred payment options as well). These are all very different but they are all built to prepare you in different ways for the job hunt.
Since you already have legit work experience a bootcamp probably isn't what you want to do because the majority of people you work with be much further behind. **You will have way more exerience than most of the instructors who teach you.** And you don't actually learn much raw skills. If you do want to choose a bootcamp, Codesmith is probably the best option for you if you want to hustle your way into the next job and get all the support you need doing that, but I wouldn't go there to actually learn any coding skills. I would also look into Rithm and Launch School. Both focus more on learning, but again, you'll be with people much farther behind than you.
If you want to learn new skills, I would recommend a career accelerator/interview prep option + learning JavaScript on the side with free/cheap courses or by building projects.
Happy to dive more into your exact situation. I don't know if you know my rep on here, but I tell it how it is and try to help people figure out the right options for them and happy to advise more after knowing a little more about your experience and what you are looking for.
