First, huge congratulations on your amazing outcome! To get a role let alone a SENIOR role right now is remarkable. Thank you for being generous enough to hold an AMA. \- As you were essentially headhunted -- would you have applied to senior engineering roles post bootcamp you

Hey, I just want to clarify (because I'm pretttty sure you are talking about me and if not, appoligies but this clarification still applies haha), but I staunchly believe anyone who comes from a bootcamp **with no prior SWE work experience** is not qualified for **mid level and senior roles at canonical big tech companies.**
I see and encourage many people to go to whatever titles they want at whatever jobs they want. In banking and finance titles are completely different. For example a "Vice President" at Goldman Sachs is an E5 - Senior at canonical big tech.
In Callie's case it sounds like a specific role at non-big tech company that was the perfect match for her, so I wouldn't discourage that at all!
