> You could do a bootcamp still yeah, just make sure to spend a lot of time finding the one that works for you personally, not the one with the loudest CEO or best reviews and expect to spend 1 to 2 years post bootcamp before getting a job. I honestly don't think this is good ad

All of that is true but I think it can work for a small number of edge case people. Like Launch School has pretty good outcomes from what they have reported so far, but to get into Capstone you need to spend months to a year on Core to make sure you are a good candidate who is likely to succeed. And even then it's not 100%, even if it's more likely than not that you'll get a job.
And people's jobs are increasingly engineering adjacent to get a foot in the door.
I personally recommend caution as well but a complete blanket advice to not go would prevent that 1 in 50 person from going who it would actually work for.
