You can do it with a bootcamp but the market is really tough and it will take a long time and additional effort post bootcamp. I would consider a master's degree too and other part time options you can do at your own pace while you are working, and then be ready to go all in when the market is better for bootcamp grads or a specific opportunity arises. Bootcamps can't consistently place people in this market, no matter how good they are. Launch Academy wrote a blog post on why they are passing indefinitely as a result. That said, you could be one of the people who gets placed, just approach carefully and make sure you, and the bootcamp, are clear on the reality of the market.
