I can speak on the side of a "career accelerator" / interview prep platform. I can't speak with the perspective of a bootcamp though.
So the TLDR: It highly depends on the program. The platform I started works with people until they get a job, so it doesn't "end" ever - there's someone approaching 2 years and still doing technical mentorship every week. That said, you might feel like you got the value after a year and want the job and just having support until you get a job might not feel so great if you don't get the job after a year. If the program ended after a year and sent you on your way (which is what most bootcamps offer) then I totally understand the frustration.
Feel free to DM me more about the program you did and I can give you advice or comments. Again, can't speak for bootcamps, but on the career accelerator side with Pathrise, Interview Kickstart, Coachable, Outco, I can give my thoughts on each one and give my opinions on what might help now.
Finally, you attended in 2020, the market has changed 3 times over since then and any good program will keep changing 3 times over to match. So if you went to a program promising big tech jobs in 2020 and "ended" in 2021, and are still looking, I'm sorry to say that you might have to rebuild some new skills and techniques to refresh yourself for the market, rather than expect to be ready to interview still.
